2022 HYUNDAI SONATA hood release

Emergency Situations
7-6
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine may be overheating. If this
happens, you should:
1.
Pull o
ff the road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
2.

Place the shift butt
on in P (Park)
and set the parking brake. If the air
conditioning is ON, turn it OFF.
3.

If engine coolan
t is running out under
the vehicle or steam is coming 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.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving parts
such as the cooling fan and
drive belt to prevent serious
injury.
4.
Check f

or coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (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 coolan
t is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped
with a pressurized coolant
reserve tank. NEVER remove
the engine coolant reservoir
tank/radiator cap or the drain
plug while the engine and
radiator are HOT. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious
injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant
reservoir tank/radiator cap. Wrap
a towel or thick rag around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
release some of the pressure from the
system. Step back while the pressure is
released.
When you are sure all the pressure has
been released, continue turning the cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
6.

If y

ou cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to normal.
Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reservoir
to bring the fluid level in the reservoir
up to the halfway mark.
7.
Pr

oceed with caution, keeping alert
for further signs of overheating. If
overheating happens again, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates a
leak in the cooling system and should
be checked as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
