34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!!
!
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair,
hands and clothing away from moving
parts such as the fan and drive belts to
prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
engine coolant is leaking out, stop the
engine immediately and call the near-
est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause se-
rious burns.6. If you cannot find the cause of the over-
heating, wait until the engine tempera-
ture has returned to normal. Then, if
coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir (page 6-7) to
bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to
the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for
further signs of overheating. If over-
heating happens again, call a Hyundai
dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is
a leak in the cooling system and this
should be checked as soon as possible
by a Hyundai dealer.
D030A01TG-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power, or
hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine
is probably too hot. If this happens, you
should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" and
set the parking brake. If the air condi-
tioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under
the car or steam is coming out from the
hood, stop the engine. Do not open the
hood until the coolant has stopped
running or the steaming has stopped. If
there is no visible loss of engine coolant
and no steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine cooling
fan is operating. 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 un-
der the car. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold water
to be draining from it when you stop).

G050B01A-AATRecommended Engine CoolantUse a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant
in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine
coolant should be compatible with alumi-
num engine parts. Additional corrosion
inhibitors or additives should not be used.
The cooling system must be maintained
with the correct concentration and type of
engine coolant to prevent freezing and
corrosion. Never allow the concentration
of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go
below the 35% level, or damage to the
cooling system may result. For proper con-
centration when adding or replacing the
engine coolant, refer to the following table.

G050C01TG-GATTo Check the Coolant LevelThe coolant level can be seen on the side
of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of
the coolant should be between the "L" and
"F" lines on the reservoir when the engine
is warm with it at idle . If the level is below
the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring
it up to "F". If the level is low, inspect for
coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level
frequently. If the level drops again, visit
your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and
diagnosis of the reason.

!
CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish
of your car. If you spill engine coolant
on the car, wash it off thoroughly with
clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has alumi-
num engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol base
coolant to prevent corrosion and freez-
ing.
Do not use hard water. Hard water can
cause engine damage from corro-
sion, overheating or freezing.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the coolant
fan so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.

should be checked at those intervals speci-
fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule
in Section 5.NOTE:Automatic transaxle fluid is basically
red in color. As driving distance in-
creases, the fluid color turns darkish red
gradually. It is a normal condition and
you should not judge the need to replace
based upon the changing color.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance with inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in section 5.G110B05A-AATRecommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is spe-
cially designed to operate with HYUNDAI
GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III,
SK ATF SP III or other brands meeting the
SP III specification approved by Hyundai
Motor Co.. Damage caused by a
nonspecified fluid is not covered by your
new vehicle limited warranty.
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant)
should not be used in the washer sys-
tem because it will damage the car's
finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled
and the washer should not be oper-
ated if the washer reservoir is empty.
This can damage the washer fluid
pump.
!!
WARNING:
o Windshield washer fluid agents con-
tain some amounts of alcohol and can
be flammable under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks or flame
to contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Damage to
the vehicle or its occupants could
occur.
o Windshield washer fluid is poisonous
to humans and animals. Do not drink
windshield washer fluid. Serious in-
jury or death could occur.
FILLING THE WASHER
RESERVOIRG090A02NF-AAT
G090A01TG
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to
the windshield washer system.
A good quality washer fluid should be
used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid
level should be checked more frequently
during bad weather or whenever the
washer system is in more frequent use.
The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.2
U.S. quarts (4.0 liters).
