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 per-
formance 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.
NOTE:
o When replacing the spark plug, always
use the genuine parts recommended.
Recommended Spark Plugs:
RC10PYP4 (CHAMPION)
o Spark plugs should be tightened firmly.
Overtightening can damage the threads
in the aluminum cylinder head. Also, leav-
ing them too loose can cause the spark
plug to get very hot and posibly result in
damage to the engine.
o It is recommended that the spark plug
should be changed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES

The wiper blades should be carefully inspected
from time to time and cleaned to remove accu-
mulations of road film or other debris. To clean

the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge
or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water.
If the wipers continue to streak or smear the
glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re-
placement parts or their equivalent.

can result in more rapid wear of the wiper
