Recommended coolant
•	When adding coolant, use only 
deionized water, distilled water or soft 
water for your vehicle and never mix 
hard water in the coolant filled at the 
factory.
•	 An incorrect coolant mixture can 
result in severe malfunction or engine 
damage.
•	 The engine in your vehicle has 
aluminum engine parts and must be 
protected by an phosphate-based 
ethylene glycol 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 mixing percentage, refer to the 
following table:
Ambient 
Temperature Mixture Percentage 
(volume)
Antifreeze Water
5°F (-15°C) 35 65
-13°F (-25°C) 40 60
-31°F (-35°C) 50 50
-49°F (-45°C) 60 40
 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 -31°F 
(-35°C) and higher.
Changing coolant
We recommend that coolant be changed 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer 
according to the Maintenance Schedule 
at the beginning of this chapter.
 WARNING
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze 
in the washer fluid reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure 
visibility when sprayed on the 
windshield and may cause loss of 
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause damage 
to paint and body trim.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to engine parts, put 
a thick towel around the engine coolant 
cap and/or inverter coolant cap before 
refilling the coolant to prevent the 
coolant from overflowing into engine 
parts, such as the alternator.

NOTICE
•	Do not use strong soap, chemical 
detergents or hot water, and do not 
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight 
or when the body of the vehicle is 
warm.
•	 Be careful when washing the side 
windows of your vehicle.
•	 Especially, with high-pressure water, 
water may leak through the windows 
and wet the interior.
•	 To prevent damage to the plastic 
parts, do not clean with chemical 
solvents or strong detergents.
NOTICE
OTM090031
•	Water washing in the engine 
compartment including high 
pressure water washing may cause 
the failure of electrical circuits 
located in the engine compartment.
•	 Never allow water or other liquids 
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the 
vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating 
brushes should not be used as this can 
damage the surface of your vehicle. A 
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle 
surface at high temperature may result 
the oil to adhere and leave stains that is 
difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel 
or sponge) when washing your vehicle 
and dry with a microfiber towel. When 
you hand wash your vehicle, you should 
not use a cleaner that finishes with wax. 
If the vehicle surface is too dirty (sand, 
dirt, dust, contaminant, etc.), clean the 
surface with water before washing the 
car.
Waxing
A good coat of wax is a barrier between 
your paint and contaminate. Keeping 
a good coat of wax on your vehicle will 
help protect it.
Wax the vehicle when water will no 
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before 
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or 
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect 
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials 
with a spot remover will usually strip the 
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax 
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle 
does not yet need waxing.
