WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu-mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap ordetergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re-placement parts or their equivalent. NOTE:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engineoil, gasoline etc.G090A01X-EAT
FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the
windshield washer system.
A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill
the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during bad weather orwhenever the washer system is in more fre-quent use.
The capacity of the washer reservoir is 2.19
lmp.qts (2.5 Litres).
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer systembecause it will damage the car’s finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled and the washer should not be operated ifthe washer reservoir is empty. This can
damage the washer fluid pump. XG100A2-E

WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. NOTE:
