Maintenance
Recommended engine coolant
•
When adding coolant, use only deion-
ized water or soft water for your vehicle
and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An improp-
er coolant mixture can result in serious
malfunction or engine damage.
•
The engine in your vehicle has aluminum
engine parts and must be protected by
an ethylene-glycol-based coolant to pre-
vent corrosion and freezing.
•
•
DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than
ORB071005N
ORBC072006
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or deterio-
rated hoses.
coolant level should be filled
between F and L marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) or soft water to pro-
vide protection against freezing and cor-
rosion. Bring the level to F, but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are required,
see an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a
cooling system inspection.
