Never attempt to remove the radi-
ator cap while the engine is oper-

to cooling system and engine
damage and could result in seri-

Even if the engine is not operat-

cap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow

Have engine oil and filter changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the Maintenance Schedule at the begin-
