It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant
concentration 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

With the heater temperature control set to
the "HOT" position, remove the radiator cap
and open the radiator drain tap.
When the engine coolant has drained com-

Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine
coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this
into the radiator.
Start the engine with the radiator cap still
removed and continue to add coolant as the
level decreases as air is expelled from the
system. When the level remains constant,
replace the radiator cap and replenish the
coolant reservoir.

Gasoline engine
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

operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan so that
