Turn  the   engine  off  and   wait

Use extreme  care when  remov-

thick towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise  slowly to  the
first  stop. Step  back  while  the
pressure  is  released  from  the
cooling  system. When  you  are

Check for coolant leaking  from the
radiator, hoses  or under  the  vehi-
cle.(If the air conditioning had been
in use, it is normal for cold water to
be draining from it when you stop.)
If engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and we rec-
ommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

If  engine  coolant  is  running  out
under the vehicle or steam is com-
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
operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off.
