Maintenance
Recommended engine coolant
• Use only soft (distilled) water in thecoolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has alu minum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene glycol
based coolant to prevent corrosion
and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec
ified coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of the
solution.
For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the
coolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into engine
parts such as the alternator.
