IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
7.Proceed with caution, keeping
alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for assistance.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
1.
Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
CAUTION
2.
Place the shift lever in P (automat-
ic transmission) or neutral (manual
transmission) and set the parking
brake. If the air conditioning is on,
turn it off.
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling sys-
tem and this should be checked
as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
5.
If the water pump drive belt is bro-
ken or engine coolant is leaking
out, stop the engine immediately
and call the nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

If engine coolant is running out
under the car or steam is coming
out from underneath the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the
hood until the coolant has flow
stopped. If there is no visible loss
of engine coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cool-
ing fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This
may result in coolant to be
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns.
Check to see if the water pump
drive belt is missing. If it is not
missing, check to see that it is 6.If you cannot find the cause of the
tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant
leaking from the radiator, hoses or
under the car. (If the air condition-
ing 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-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
