ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the
factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season and
before traveling to a colder climate.
Checking the Coolant Level
B0433KO01
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the F and the L marks on the
side of the coolant reservoir when the
engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring the
level to the F mark, but do not overfill. If
frequent additions are required, see an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling
system inspection.
WARNING
B0433KO02
Never remove the engine
coolant cap and/or the drain
plug while the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious
injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and turn
it counterclockwise slowly. Step back
while the pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are sure all
the pressure has been released, using
a thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.

Information
The coolant level is influenced by the
engine temperature. Before checking or
refilling the coolant, turn the engine off.
WARNING
The electric motor for the
cooling fan may continue to
operate or start up when the
engine is not running and can
cause serious injury. Keep
hands, clothing and tools away
from the rotating fan blades of
the cooling fan.
Always turn off the vehicle unless the
vehicle has to be inspected with the
engine on. Be cautious as the cooling
fan may operate if the negative (-)
battery terminal is not disconnected.
WARNING
Make sure the coolant cap is properly
closed after refilling coolant. Otherwise
the engine could be overheated whilst
driving.
B0433EE01
B0433EE02
1. Check if the coolant cap label is straight in front.
B0433EE03
2. Make sure that the tiny protrusions inside the coolant cap is securely
interlocked.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level
B0436KO01
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake fluid
comes in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immediate medical
attention.
NOTICE
[ Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.
[ Brake fluid, which has been exposed
to open air for an extended time
should NEVER be used as its quality
cannot be guaranted. It should be
disposed of properly.
[ Do not use the incorrect type of
brake fluid. A few drops of mineral
based oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2).

WASHER FLUID
Checking the Washer Fluid Level
B0439KO01
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:
[ Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir. Engine coolant can
severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident or damage to
paint and body trim.
[ Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.
[ Do not drink washer fluid and avoid
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
harmful to humans and animals.
[ Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.

AIR CLEANER
Filter Replacement
B0446KO01
The air cleaner filter can be cleaned for
inspection using compressed air.
Do not attempt to wash or to rinse it, as
water will damage the filter.
If soiled, the air cleaner filter must be
replaced.
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
B0446KO02
1. Pull down the air cleaner filter cover M.
B0446KO03

B0446KO04
3. Replace the air cleaner filter.
4. Reassemble the air cleaner cover in the reverse order.
5. Check that the cover is firmly installed.
Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the air
cleaner filter more often than the
usual recommended intervals (Refer
to “Maintenance Under Severe Usage
Conditions” section in this chapter).
NOTICE
[ Do not drive with the air cleaner filter
removed. This will result in excessive
engine wear.
[ When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake, or damage may
result.
[ Use HYUNDAI genuine parts. Use of
non-genuine parts could damage the
engine.
