The engine coolant should be com-
patible with aluminum engine parts.
Additional corrosion inhibitors or addi-
tives should not be used. The cooling
system must be maintained with the
correct concentration and type of en-
gine coolant to prevent freezing and
corrosion. Never allow the concentra-
tion of antifreeze to exceed the 60%
level or go below the 35% level, or
damage to the cooling system may
result. For proper concentration when
adding or replacing the engine cool-
ant, refer to the following table.

The coolant level can be seen on the
side of the plastic coolant reservoir.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
The level of the coolant should be
between the "L" and "F" lines on the
reservoir when the engine is cold. If
the level is below the "L" mark, add
engine coolant to bring it up between
"L" and "F". 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 rea-
son.
