What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a  loss of power,
or  hear  loud  pinging  or   knocking,  the
engine  is probably  too  hot. If  this  hap-
pens, you should:
4. Check to  see if the  water pump  drive
belt  is  missing.  If  it   is  not  missing,
check to see that it  is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant   leaking   from   the   radiator,
hoses or under the  car. (If the air con-
ditioning had been  in use, it is  normal
for  cold  water to  be  draining  from  it
when you stop.)
6.If  you  cannot   find  the  cause  of  the
overheating, wait until the  engine tem-
perature has returned to normal. Then,
if coolant  has been lost,  carefully add
coolant  to  the  reservoir  to  bring  the
fluid  level  in  the  reservoir  up  to  the
halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution,  keeping alert for
further  signs  of  overheating.  If  over-
heating happens again, call an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

ditioning is on, turn it off.
WARNING
While  the engine  is  running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away  from
moving parts  such  as the  fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.

If engine  coolant is running  out under
the  car or  steam  is coming  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 operating.  If
the fan is  not running, turn the  engine
off.
CAUTION
Serious  loss   of  coolant   indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system
and this should be checked as soon

HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do  not   remove  the   radiator  cap
when  the engine  is  hot. This  may
result in coolant being blown out of
the   opening   and  cause   serious
burns.
