2006 Hyundai Accent coolant reservoir

6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
32POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluidreservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer- ing pump may be heard immediatelyafter the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there isno abnormal function in the system. HLC5006
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
!
G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant tem-perature is high. G220C01TB-GAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comes on automatically to be controlled by
ECU.
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant temper- ature decreases the fan will automat- ically shut off. This is a normal con-dition.

!
D030A01TB-EAT If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from thebonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolanthas stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is oper- ating.If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it). WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 12 in.(30 cm) closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room whilst engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields. 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
!WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected fromthe radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolantexpansion tank to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is es-
tablished that the engine is operat-ing normally. If the engine over- heats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.

6ZF070C1-A
o Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed
at the intervals specified in the main- tenance schedule. F060H01A-AAT
o Air cleaner filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is re- placed.
6ZF060J1-A
o Spark plugs
(For Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling system
Check the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts.
6ZF060G1-A o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapourhose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed. 6ZF060F1-A
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Par- ticular attention should be paid to ex- amining those hose surfaces nearestto high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in contactwith any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence ofdeterioration or damage.
6ZF060E1-A o Timing belt Replace timimg belt and inspect all associated parts related for damage and deformation. Replace any dam- aged parts immediately.

NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec-ommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning system when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and subse- quently bursting. SG050C1-E Coolant Level The engine coolant level may be ob- served through the side of the plasticcoolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant of the correctconcentration until the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer.
SG050B1-E Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminiumalloy engine components should be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used.The coolant specific gravity should be checked as prescribed in the mainte- nance schedule to ensure adequatefrost and corrosion protection. In addi- tion, the engine coolant must be re- placed at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties dete- riorate with time. It is important to note that whilst anincrease in the concentration of anti freeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is inexcess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom-mended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freezecompounds may result in engine over- heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty.

SG050D1-E To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule 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. If coolant spill-age occurs, the affected area should 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 tocool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning orscalding may result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced coolant and posi-tion this under the radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control
set to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.
!
6. Start the engine with the radiator capstill removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system. When the level remains constant, replacethe radiator cap and replenish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en-suring that this is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new
engine coolant (refer to section 9)and pour this into the radiator. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.
