DO-IT-YOURSELFMAINTENANCE 6-11
Diesel engine
It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of anti
freeze gives an increase in the level of
frost protection, a solution which is in
excess of 65% anti freeze will result in
reduced frost protection and engine
overheating. Therefore the recom-
mended concentration of 50% should
not be exceeded for general use.
Theuseofmethanolbasedantifreeze
compoundsmayresultinengineover-
heating and will invalidate the vehicle
warranty.

Engine Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be ob-
served through the side of the plastic
coolantreservoir(expansiontank)when
the engine is cold. If the level is below
the "LOW" mark, add coolant of the
correct concentration until the level is
betweenthe"LOW"and"Full"marks.If
thelevelfallsbelowthe"LOW"markon

consult a Hyundai dealer.

Onlyethyleneglycolbasedcoolantwith
acorrosioninhibitorsuitedtoaluminium
alloy engine components should be
used in the cooling system. No further
additives or inhibitors should be used.
The coolant specific gravity should be
checked as prescribed in the mainte-
nance schedule to ensure adequate
frost and corrosion protection. In addi-
tion, the engine coolant must be re-
placed at the specified interval since
the corrosion inhibitor properties dete-
riorate with time.
NOTE:

To Change the engine Coolant
It is imperative that vehicles fitted
withanairconditioningsystemhave
a coolant concentration of the rec-
ommendedstrengthatalltimes.The
use of the air conditioning system
when the cooling system is filled
with water only will result in the
heater matrix freezing and subse-
quentlybursting.
Theenginecoolantshouldbechanged
at those intervals specified in the ve-
hiclemaintenancescheduleinSection
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 spill-
ageoccurs,theaffectedareashould
be rinsed thoroughly with water.
