If your temperature gauge indicates 
overheating, you experience a loss of 
power, or hear loud pinging or knock-
ing, the engine may be overheating. If 
this happens, you should: 
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon 
as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral, 
for Automated manual transmis-
sion vehicle) or neutral (for Manual 
transmission vehicle) and set the 
parking brake. If the air condition-
ing is ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out 
under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from the bonnet, stop the 
engine. Do not open the bonnet 
until the coolant has stopped run-
ning 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 oper-
ating. If the fan is not running, turn 
the engine off.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the 
overheating, wait until the engine 
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, 
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the 
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping 
alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again, 
we recommend that you call a 
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for 
assistance.
