Maintenance
Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or deterio-
rated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F and 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 provide pro-
tection against freezing and corrosion.
Bring the level to F, but do not overfill. If
frequent additions are required, see an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling
system inspection.

(Continued)
The engine coolant and/or inverter
coolant level is influenced by
hybrid system temperature.Before
filling the engine coolant and/or
inverter coolant, turn the hybrid
vehicle off, fill the engine coolant
and/or inverter coolant carefully.
Turn the engine off and wait until it
cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator and/or
inverter coolant cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it coun-
terclockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back while the pressure
is released from the cooling sys-
tem. When you are sure all the
pressure has been released, press
down on the cap, using a thick
towel, and continue turning coun-
terclockwise to remove it.
Even if the engine is not operat-
ing, do not remove the radiator
and/or inverter coolant cap or the
drain plug while the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot coolant and
steam may still blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
WARNING
The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con-
trolled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed. It may some-
times operate even when the
engine is not running. Use extreme
caution when working near the
blades of the cooling fan so that
you are not injured by the rotating
fan blades. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.
