R R ecommended engine coolant
• Use only soft (distilled) water in the
coolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has alu-
minum engine parts and must be
protected by a phosphate-based
ethylene glycol coolant for alu-
minum radiator based coolant to
prevent corrosion and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the spec-
ified 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 mixture percentage, refer to the

Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI

NOTICE
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the
coolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into engine
parts such as the alternator.

Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.

Radiator coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control or
Water
