Maintenance
Recommended engine coolant
• Use only soft (distilled) water in thecoolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has alu minum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethyleneglycol
based coolant to prevent corrosion
and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec
ified 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 mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the
coolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into engine
parts such as the alternator.

WAShER FluId
Checking the washer fluid level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli
mates to prevent freezing. Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid reser
voir.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position.
Also, the parking brake alone should
securely hold the vehicle on a fairly
steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 6~8 “clicks’’ at a force of 20
kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

Blade inspection
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi
cult to clean. Contamination of either the wind
shield or the wiper blades with for
eign matter can reduce the effective
ness of the windshield wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other sol
vents on or near them.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual
ly.
The use of a nonspecified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc
tion and failure.
