7Recommended engine coolant When adding coolant, use only deion-
ized water or soft water for your vehicle
and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An improp-
er coolant mixture can result in serious
malfunction or engine damage.
The engine in your vehicle has alumini- um 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 specified
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 fol-
lowing table.
Changing the coolantWe recommend that the coolant be
replaced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
