2011 Hyundai Accent engine coolant

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
22
If the needle of the coolant tem- perature gauge moves across thedial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine toidle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
C190D02A-DAT Safety Chains Should the towbar connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across otherlanes of traffic and ultimately collide with another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially danger-ous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in moststates.
!
C190B02S-DAT Trailer Towbars Select the proper towbar and ball com- bination, making sure that its location iscompatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. We recommend only genuine Hyundai towbars (thetowbars are made and tested in Austra-
lia/NZ for local conditions). Use a qual- ity non-equalising towbar which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly through- out the chassis. Tongue loads can be increased ordecreased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loadedtrailer and then checking the load on the tongue. WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer-ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash in which you may be seriously injured. C190C01S-DAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
!
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to ensure theengine does not overheat.

3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A01A-DAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis 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"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the hand 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 under-neath the bonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of 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 theradiator, hoses or under the car.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper
cable in the exact order shown in theillustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thedischarged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thebooster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of thebooster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away fromthe battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fullycharged. During the jumping opera- tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normalstarting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for severalminutes.

SPARE TYRE
(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the enginetemperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully add engine coolant to the reser-voir (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. Ifoverheating happens again, call aHyundai dealer for assistance.
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. This may result in coolant being blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.
! 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. D040A01A-DAT For Full Size The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tyre should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tyre,and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodi- cally checked and maintained at thespecified pressure while the tyre is stored. Spare Tyre Pressure

5VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
2MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
F010C01A-DAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as
inspections, adjustments and replace- ments that are listed in the mainte- nance charts starting on page 5-4.These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the mainte- nance schedule to assure that yourwarranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trainedor distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these proce- dures may be performed at any quali-fied service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs orreplacements. Other parts of equiva- lent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil,brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor may be used withoutaffecting your warranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the originalHyundai parts. Your Service Passport provides further information about your warranty coverage.
F010A01A-DAT
Service Requirements
To ensure that you receive satisfying
operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be per- formed. Although careful design andengineering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost importance. It is your responsibility to have these
maintenance procedures performedto comply with the terms of the war- ranties covering your new Hyundai. The Service Passport supplied withyour new vehicle provides further in- formation about these warranties. F010D01A-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks you should perform each time you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found onpage 6-3.
F010B01A-AAT Maintenance Requirements The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance F010E01A-AAT
Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
If you are mechanically inclined, own a
few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. Formore information about doing it your- self, see Section 6.
