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.

Recommended coolant

• When adding coolant, use only

deionized water, distilled water or soft

water for your vehicle and never mix

hard water in the coolant filled at the

factory.

• An incorrect coolant mixture can result

in severe malfunction or engine

damage.

• The engine in your vehicle has

aluminum engine parts and must be

protected by an phosphate-based

ethylene glycol coolant to prevent

corrosion and freezing.

• Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant

or mix them with the specified coolant.

• Do not use a solution that contains

more than 60% antifreeze or less than

35% antifreeze, which would reduce

the effectiveness of the solution.

For mixing percentage, refer to the

following table:

Information

If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%

water and 50% antifreeze mix is the

easiest to mix together as it will be the

same quantity of each. It is suitable to use

for most temperature ranges of -31 °F (-35

°C) and higher.

Changing Coolant

Have coolant changed by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer according to the

Maintenance Schedule at the beginning

of this chapter.

WARNING

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.
Engine coolant may also cause damage to

paint and body trim.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to engine parts, put a

thick towel around the engine coolant

cap before refilling the coolant to prevent

the coolant from overflowing into engine

parts, such as the alternator.

Brake Fluid

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

guaranteed. 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).

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
