Checking The Engine Coolant Level - Hyundai Accent HCI 2019 Owner's Manual

E E N N G G I I N N E E C C O O O O L L A A N N T T
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 concentration level at least
once a year, at the beginning of the
winter season, and before traveling
to a colder climate.
NOTICE
• When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may
cause cracks in the engine. To
prevent damage, add engine
coolant slowly in small quanti-
ties.
• Do not drive with no engine
coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.

WARNING
•
Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap while the engine

is operating or hot.
Doing so might lead to cooling
system and engine damage
and could result in serious
personal injury from escaping
hot coolant or steam.
•
Turn the engine off and wait
until it cools down. Use
extreme care when removing
the radiator cap. Wrap a thick
OYC077008
towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while
the pressure is released from
the cooling system.
