 WARNING
The electric motor for the 
cooling fan may continue to 
operate or start up when the 
engine is not running and can 
cause serious injury. Keep 
hands, clothing and tools away 
from the rotating fan blades of 
the cooling fan.
The electric motor for the cooling 
fan is controlled by engine coolant 
temperature, refrigerant pressure and 
vehicle speed. As the engine coolant 
temperature decreases, the electric 
motor will automatically shut off. This is a 
normal condition. 
Changing Engine Coolant
Have coolant 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 radiator cap 
before refilling the coolant to prevent 
the coolant from overflowing into 
engine parts, such as the alternator.
