Recommended Coolant
G050B01A
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The coolant should be
compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi-
tional corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must be main-
tained with the correct concentration and type
of coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.
NEVER allow the concentration of antifreeze to
exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level
or damage to the coolant system may result.
For proper concentration when adding or re-
placing the coolant, refer to the following table.

To Check the Coolant Level
G050C01A
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the
plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-
ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"
lines on the reservoir. If the level is below the
"LOW" mark, add coolant to bring it up between
"LOW" and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect
for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level
frequently. If the level drops again, visit your
Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis
of the reason.
ZG050D2-A
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5.
NOTE:
Coolant can damage the finish of your car.
If you spill coolant on the car, wash it off
thoroughly with clear 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 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 coolant
container, add the appropriate quantity of
coolant to the radiator.
