To Check the Coolant Level If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant of the correct concentrationuntil the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on a regular basis despitebeing topped up, consult a Hyundai authorised repairer.

To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that
coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish maybecome 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 al- lowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scalding may result. 2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced coolant and position this under the radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radia- tor drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en-suring that this is not over tight- ened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9)and pour this into the radiator.

6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system.When the level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and replen- ish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au-tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

The level of windscreen washer fluid available should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of the reservoir.When the fluid is to be replenished, only a proprietary screen wash addi- tive should be used and in the concen- tration recommended by the manufac- turer. The windscreen washer reser- voir has a total capacity of 3 litres.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes 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 au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reachesthe upper portion of the scale and thecondenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. 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 onthe fluid reservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in ex-tremely cold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions.
FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluidmeeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.
