NOTE: Gasoline Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator, unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And if the coolant overflows from the hole while adding the coolant, screw the bolt and con- tinue to add the coolant. 4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with-
out pressing down on it, until it stops. Thisrelieves any pressure remaining in the cool- ing system. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineral-ized or distilled water. Continue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quan- tities until the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.
5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add 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.
Gasoline Engine only
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 cool. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW" and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre- quently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason.
G050D01HP-GAT To Change the Engine CoolantThe engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. CAUTION: Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.

To Check the Transmission Fluid Level
G110D03HP
Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engine idling.
G110C03HP-GAT
Transmission Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission
is; Gasoline - 10.5 liters (11.09 U.S. quarts) Diesel (2.9 CRDi) - 11.8 liters (12.47 U.S. quarts)
Diesel (2.5 TCI) - 8.2 liters (8.66 U.S. quarts)
WARNING:The transmission fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal oper- ating temperature. This means that the en- gine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure.
G110A01HP-GAT
CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (AUTOMATIC) Transmission fluid in the automatic transmis- sion should be checked at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. G110B01HP-GAT Recommended FluidYour Hyundai automatic transmission is spe- cially designed to operate with DEXRON- II or
DEXRON -III. Damage caused by a nonspecified
fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in
with your fingers and then tighten securely with the wrench.

G100B01HP-GAT To Check the Manual Transmission Fluid LevelG100B01HP
WARNING: It is always better to check the transmissionoil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hot engine or exhaust parts. Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen
the oil filler plug by turning it counterclock- wise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. To refill the transmission or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill.
