WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES

CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER
FILTER

G080A02A-AAT

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.

To change the filter, unsnap the clips around the
cover. When this is done, the cover can be lifted
off, the old filter removed and the new filter put
in its place. Genuine Hyundai Replacement
Parts are recommended.

CAUTION:

o Operating your vehicle without a proper

air filter in place can result in excessive
engine wear.

o When removing the air cleaner filter, be

careful that dust or dirt does not enter
the air intake. These may result in dam-
age to the air cleaner filter.

CAUTION:

o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass.

This can result in more rapid wear of the
wiper blades and may scratch the glass.

o Keep the blade rubber out of contact

with petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.

6. To install the new spark plug, guide the

socket down over the spark plug, being
careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.

NOTE:

Spark plugs should be tightened to speci-
fication. Over-tightening can damage the
threads in the aluminum cylinder head.
Also, leaving them too loose can cause the
spark plug to get very hot and possibly
result in damage to the engine.

7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulated

connector directly down onto the electrode.
Check to be sure it has snapped into place
and can't fall off.
