Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge shows the temperature
of the engine coolant when the igni
tion switch is in the ON position.
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the “H
or 130” position, it indicates over
heating that may damage the
engine.
Do not continue driving with an over
heated engine. If your vehicle over
heats, refer to “If the Engine
Overheats” in chapter 6.
NOTICE
Never remove the radiator cap and
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the reser
voir.
WARNING

■Type A
■Type BOGC044144/OGS045144

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over
heating. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park, for automatic transaxle vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transaxle vehi
cle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is ON, turn it
OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com
ing 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 for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.

What to do in an emergency
While the engine is run
ning, keep hands,
clothing and tools away
from the moving parts
such as the cooling fan
and drive belt to pre
vent serious injury.
WARNING
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug while the
engine and radiator are
hot. Hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres
sure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use
extreme care when removing the
radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel
around it, and turn it counterclock
wise slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is
released from the cooling system.
When you are sure all the pres
sure has been released, press
down on the cap, using a thick
towel, and continue turning coun
terclockwise to remove it.

Maintenance
Valve clearance
(For gasoline engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces
sary.
We recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Engine coolant
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte
nance schedule.
Manual transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance sched
ule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transaxle fluid changed by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transaxle fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
The use of a nonspecified fluid
could result in transaxle malfunction
and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to
"Recommended lubricants and
capacities" in chapter 8.)

Maintenance
ENGINE COOlANT
The highpressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with yearround
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder cli
mate.
•Do not drive with no engine
coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.
•When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant slow
ly in small quantities.
Checking the coolant level
NOTICE
Removing radiator cap
•Never attempt to
remove the radiator cap while
the engine is operating or hot.
Doing so might lead to cooling
system and engine damage and
could result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot coolant
or steam.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it,
and turn it counterclockwise
slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is
released from the cooling sys
tem. When you are sure all the
pressure has been released,
press down on the cap, using a
thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
•Even if the engine is not operat
ing, do not remove the radiator
cap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing
serious injury.
