MaintenanceThe electric motor for the cooling fan
is controlled by coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and vehicle
speed. As the coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor will
automatically shut off. This is a nor-
mal condition.
Never remove the
coolant cap or the
drain plug whilst the
radiator is hot. Hot
coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.

WARNING
OAEE076002
The electric motor for
the cooling fan may
continue to operate
or start up when the
vehicle is not operat-
ing and can cause serious
injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the rotating fan blades
of the cooling fan.
WARNING (Continued)
Turn the vehicle off and wait
until the parts in the motor com-
partment cools down. Use
extreme care when removing
the coolant cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the
first stop. Step back whilst the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclock-
wise to remove it.

Maintenance
For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Information
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to
use for most temperature ranges of
-35°C (-31°F) and higher.
Changing coolant
We recommend that coolant be
changed by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
To prevent damage to parts in the
motor compartment, put a thick
towel around the coolant cap
before refilling the coolant to pre-
vent the coolant from overflowing
into parts in the motor compart-
ment.
NOTICE
i
Do not use coolant or antifreeze
in the washer fluid reservoir.
Coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windscreen and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Coolant may also cause dam-
age to paint and body trim.
