keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.

Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.

there is a leak in the cooling sys-

as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

under the car or steam is coming
out from underneath the hood,

for cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).

Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This
may result in coolant to be
blown out of the opening and

carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
