factory,  check  for  coolant leaking
from  the radiator,  hoses or  under

had  been in  use,  it  is normal  for
cold  water  to  be draining  from  it
when you stop).
overheating,  wait until  the  engine
temperature  has  returned  to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add  coolant to  the reser-

ing  out  from  the  hood,  stop   the
engine. Do not open the hood until
the   coolant  has stopped  running
or  the  steaming   has  stopped.  If
there  is no  visible  loss  of engine
coolant  and  no  steam,  leave the
engine  running  and  check  to  be
sure the engine cooling fan is oper-
ating.  If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.
•  Serious  loss  of coolant  indi-
cates  there  is  a   leak  in  the
cooling system and we recom-
mend   that    the   system   be
checked   by    an   authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
5.If

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When   the  engine   overheats
from low engine  coolant, sud-
denly  adding  engine  coolant
may   cause    cracks    in   the
engine.  To   prevent  damage,
add  engine coolant  slowly  in
small quantities.
WARNING
Do not remove  the radiator cap
when the engine is hot.This can
allow coolant to blow out  of the
opening    and   cause    serious
burns.
4.Check
to  see  if  the  water  pump
drive  belt  is  missing.  If  it  is   not
missing,  check  to   see  that  it   is
tight.
