BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING
SOUND
The front disc brake pads have wear indicators
that should make a high-pitched squealing or
scraping noise when new pads are needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard all the time
when the vehicle is moving. It may also be
heard when the brake pedal is pushed down
firmly. Expensive rotor damage will result if the
worn pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai
dealer immediately.

LIGHTS ON WARNING SOUND
The warning chime sounds when the tail lights
are on and the driver side door is open. This
prevents the battery from discharging by
warning you when the car is left with the tail
lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights
are turned off.

To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5.
CAUTION:Engine coolant can damage the finish of
your car. If you spill engine coolant on the
car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking
brake and remove the radiator cap when
cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.
Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow all
the engine coolant to drain from the cooling
system, then securely close the drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the
cooling system in your car. Then, following
the manufacturer's directions on the engine
coolant container, add the appropriate quan-
tity of coolant to the radiator.
!
4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with-
out pressing down on it, until it stops. This
relieves any pressure remaining in the cool-
ing system. And remove the radiator cap by
pushing down and turning counterclockwise.
Now fill the radiator with clean demineralized
or distilled water. Continue to add clean
demineralized or distilled water in small quan-
tities until the fluid level stays up in the
radiator neck.

5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with
water and then add engine coolant to the
reservoir until the level is between "L" and
"F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and
check to be sure the drain cocks are fully
closed and not leaking.

11CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL
(MANUAL)FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
G090A01A-AAT
A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill
the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be
checked more frequently during inclement weath-
er or whenever the washer system is in more
frequent use.
The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.2 U.S.
quarts (3.0 Liters).
CAUTION:o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant)
should not be used in the washer system
because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be operated if the
washer reservoir is empty. This can dam-
age the washer fluid pump.
