4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean dem- ineralized or distilled water. Con- tinue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quantitiesuntil the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.
5. Start the engine, top off the radia- tor with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until thelevel is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure thedrain cocks are fully closed and not leaking. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotat-ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This isa normal condition.
G050D02P-AAT To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 6.
!
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill en-gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriatequantity of coolant to the radiator.

o The battery electrolyte is ex-tremely caustic. Do not allow it to come in contact with youreyes, skin, clothing, or the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilled electrolyte should be flushed immediately with ample amounts of water. Irritation to eyes or skin from contact withelectrolyte requires immediate medical attention.
o If the battery is to be quick- charged, first disconnect the battery cables.
o In order to prevent a short cir- cuit, be sure to disconnect thenegative (-) terminal before do- ing anything else.AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maxi-mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash
vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by your Hyundai dealer. G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air condition- ing should be run for at least 10 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use.CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.

1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstickas far as it will go, then remove it again. Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the"HOT" range on the dipstick.
3. If the transmission fluid level is
low, use a funnel to add transmis-sion fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill, otherwisethe transmission could be dam- aged. Full mark Good

To Check the transmission Fluid Level
Park the vehicle on level ground with
the parking brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid should be atnormal operating temperature and the engine idling.
While the engine is idling, apply the
brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its otherpositions-"R", "N", "D", "2", "L"-and then return to "N" or "P" with the engine still idling: HSR3073

Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transmission
is specially designed to operate with MOBIL DEXRON-II or DIAMOND ATF SP-I type fluid.

Automatic transmission fluid capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic
transmission will be found on page 9-5.
WARNING:
The transmission fluid level should
be checked when the engine is atnormal operating temperature. Thismeans that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burnyourself during this procedure.

20WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
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 productssuch as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
G080A02A-AAT The wiper blades should be carefully
inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accumulations ofroad 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 Hyundaireplacement parts or their equivalent. HEF119
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine cool- ant) should not be used in thewasher system because it will damage the car’s finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled and the washer should not be operated if the washerreservoir is empty. This can dam- age the washer fluid pump.
