2003 Hyundai Terracan coolant temperature

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-7
NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant con- centration of the recommended strength atall times. The use of the air conditioningsystem when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heatermatrix freezing and subsequently bursting.

Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is be-tween the "LOW" and "FULL" marks. If the levelfalls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundaidealer. HPG050D1-E
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. Ifcoolant spillage occurs, the affected areashould be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scalding mayresult.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under theradiator drain tap. NOTE: Petrol Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator,
unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And ifthe coolant overflows from the hole whileadding the coolant, screw the bolt and con-tinue to add the coolant.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.

4. When the engine coolant has drained com- pletely, close the drain tap ensuring that this is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this intothe radiator. 6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still
removed and continue to add coolant as thelevel decreases as air is expelled from thesystem. When the level remains constant,replace the radiator cap and replenish thecoolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
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. G060A02L-AAT SPARK PLUGS (For Petrol Engine)

0.039 ~ 0.043 in. (1.0 ~ 1.1mm)
Your engine was originally equipped with plati- num-tipped spark plugs. Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last longer than conventional type spark plugs and can be iden-tified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped spark plugs.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS CAUTION:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes oper-ate even when the engine is not running. Donot touch the radiator fan until it is com-pletely stopped. As the coolant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is anormal condition.
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should automaticallycome on if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan (in front of the con-denser) should come on automatically whenev-er the air conditioner is in operation.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuricacid which is corrosive and poisonous. Hy-drogen gas is emitted from the battery whichis explosive when combined with oxygen.The following precautions must be strictlyobserved to avoid personal injury or dam-age to the vehicle.
o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushedwith copious amounts of water and medicalassistance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milk followed by an ant-acid (raw egg or milk of magnesia) must bedrunk. Vomiting should not be induced andmedical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well venti- lated areas from which naked lights or sourc-es of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unautho- rized persons are kept away from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production is of the"Maintenance Free" type.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
7-2
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECU; when the engine coolant tempera- ture is low, and during idling, it closes, so thatevaporated fuel is not taken into the surge tank.After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens to introduce evaporated fuel to the surgetank. misfire and result in excessive loading of thecatalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either pushed or pulled to get it started. This can cause thecatalytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system while theengine is running.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.

3. EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
EGR system ; For a Petrol Engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen byrecirculating a portion of the exhaust gases intothe intake manifold, thereby reducing cylindercombustion temperatures. YH040A2-E
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
; For a Petrol Engine The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to re-move certain engine emission products fromthe engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system. YH040B1-E
About the Catalytic Converter ; For a Petrol Engine
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high tem-peratures. As a result, the introduction of largeamounts of unburned petrol may cause it tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This can beavoided by observing the following:
o Use only unleaded fuel.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex- tremely high converter temperatures can re- sult from improper operation of the electri-cal, ignition or M.P.I. system.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of petrol, it could cause the engine to H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a Diesel Engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida- tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car-bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulatecontained in the exhaust gas. H020C01HP-EAT EGR SYSTEM ; For a Diesel Engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into theengine, there by reducing cylinder combustiontemperature. The EGR system helps reduce Nox (Oxides of Nitrogen) emission gasses.
