The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
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.Checking the Engine Coolant
Level
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses.Replace any swollen or deteriorated
hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the MAX and MIN marks on
the side of the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring
the level to the MAX mark, but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, see an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling sys-
tem inspection.
