What to do in an emergency
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
2. Shift to P (Park) and set the park-
ing brake. If the air conditioning is
on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the
vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the vehicle.
Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there
is no visible loss of coolant and no
steam, leave the vehicle running
and check to be sure the cooling
fan is operating. If the fan is not
running, turn the vehicle off.
4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop).
5. If coolant is leaking out, turn off
the vehicle immediately and we
recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the radiator
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping
alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
• Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates there is a leak in the cool-
ing system and we recommend
that the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• When overheating from low
coolant, suddenly adding coolant
may cause damages in the motor
compartments. To prevent dam-
age, add coolant slowly in small
quantities.
NOTICE

Do not remove the coolant cap
when the radiator is hot. This
can allow coolant to blow out of
the opening and cause serious
burns.
