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
performance, radio interference or engine dam-
age.
