OWNER MAINTENANCE
6-7
NOTE:
It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant con-
centration of the recommended strength at
all times. The use of the air conditioning
system when the cooling system is filled
with water only will result in the heater
matrix freezing and subsequently bursting.

Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir
(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the
level is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant of
the correct concentration until the level is be-
tween the "LOW" and "FULL" marks. If the level
falls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basis
despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai
dealer.

To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork
since the finish may become damaged. If
coolant spillage occurs, the affected area
should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure
that the parking brake is firmly applied, and
the engine allowed to cool.
Do not attempt this operation whilst the
engine is hot since burning or scalding may
result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the
displaced coolant and position this under the
radiator drain tap.
NOTE: Petrol Engine Only
Before adding the coolant to the radiator,
unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water
outlet to escape the excess pressure. And if
the coolant overflows from the hole while
adding the coolant, screw the bolt and con-
tinue to add the coolant.
3. With the heater temperature control set to
the "HOT" position, remove the radiator cap
and open the radiator drain tap.
