To Check the Coolant Level
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the
plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-
ant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on
the reservoir when the engine is cool. If the
level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant
to bring it up between "L" and "F". If the level is
low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the
fluid level frequently. If the level drops again,
visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and
diagnosis of the reason.

1. Park the car on level ground, set the park-
ing brake and remove the radiator cap when
cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.
Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow
all the engine coolant to drain from the
cooling system, then securely close the drain
cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the
cooling system in your car. Then, following
the manufacturer’s directions on the engine
coolant container, add the appropriate quan-
tity of coolant to the radiator. Now fill the
radiator with clean demineralized or distilled
water. Continue to add clean demineralized
or distilled water in small quantities until the
fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.
4. Start the engine, top off the radiator with
water and then add coolant to the reservoir
until the level is between "L" and "F".
5. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and
check to be sure the drain cocks are fully
closed and not leaking.
