B290A02E-AATENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could erupt and cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is cool before
removing the radiator cap.
The needle on the engine coolant temperature
gauge should stay in the middle between "H"
and "C". If it moves across the dial to "H" (Hot),
pull over and stop as soon as possible and turn
off the engine. Then open the hood and, after the
engine has cooled, check the coolant level and
the water pump drive belt. If you suspect cooling
system trouble, have your cooling system
checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as
possible.
