Your engine was originally equipped with plati-
num-tipped or iridium-tipped spark plugs.
Platinum-tipped or iridium-tipped spark plugs
will last longer than conventional type spark
plugs. Platinum-tipped spark plug can be iden-
tified by blue lines on the ceramic shell.
NOTE:
Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped/
iridium-tipped spark plugs.

Replacing the Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5 or whenever engine
performance indicates they should be changed.
Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor-
mance include engine misfiring under load, loss
of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When
spark plugs are replaced, always use spark
plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of
other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-
mance, radio interference or engine damage.

You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the
engine is cold. Always change one spark plug
at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires
mixed up.
