The engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol
anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head and coolant pump housing are cast aluminium alloy,and periodic changing of the engine coolant isnecessary to prevent corrosion of these parts. Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion
agent, the coolant must not be replaced withplain water even in summer.
The required concentration of anti-freeze differs
depending on the expected ambient tempera-ture.

FULL
LOW
A translucent coolant reservoir tank is in the
engine compartment. The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the "LOW" and "FULL" marks when measured while the engine is warm and idling.
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be veryslight. A noticeable drop in the coolant levelcould indicate leakage.
If this occurs, have the system checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as pos-sible.
If the level should drop below the "LOW" level
on the reservoir tank, add coolant.
Also, if the reservoir tank is completely empty,
remove the radiator cap and add coolant untilthe level reaches the filler neck.
