WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3-3
WARNING: While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts toprevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the en- gine immediately and call the nearestHyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if engine coolanthas been lost, carefully remove the radiator
cap and add engine coolant to bring the fluidlevel in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.
CAUTION: Serious loss of engine coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by aHyundai dealer. D040A01A-GAT

Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad-ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be main-tained with the correct concentration and typeof engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-sion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% levelor damage to the coolant system may result. Forproper concentration when adding or replacingthe coolant, refer to the following table.
35% 40%50%60% G050C01A-AAT
To Check the Coolant Level
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.If the level is below the "LOW" mark, addengine coolant to bring it up between "LOW"and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect forcoolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-quently. If the level drops again, visit yourHyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosisof the reason. G050D02A-AAT
To Change the Engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5. CAUTION: Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on thecar, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap whencool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allowall the engine coolant to drain from thecooling system, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer's directions on the enginecoolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of engine coolant to the radiator.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS
The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5 or whenever engine per-formance indicates they should be changed.Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor-mance include engine misfiring under load, lossof fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. Whenspark plugs are replaced, always use sparkplugs recommended by Hyundai. The use ofother spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-mance, radio interference or engine damage.
NOTE: When replacing the spark plug, always use
the genuine parts recommended.

5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "LOW"and "FULL".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the drain cocks are fullyclosed and not leaking.
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.

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 2.5
liters (2.63 U.S. quarts).
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 candamage the washer fluid pump.
