Engine Coolant; Checking The Coolant Level - Hyundai Staria US4 2021 Owner's Manual

Maintenance

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

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 MAX and the MIN 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 MAX mark, but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required, we
recommend that you see an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling system
inspection.

WARNING
Turn the vehicle off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant
cap and/or liquid-cooled intercooler
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
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.
Never remove the engine
coolant cap and/or liquid-
cooled intercooler coolant
cap or the drain plug while
the engine and radiator are
hot. Hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.
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.
