Coolant
B9001901
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 or F and the MIN or L marks on the side of the coolant reservoir when the parts in the motor compartment is cool.
If the coolant level is low, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the rotating fan blades of the cooling fan. The cooling fan may continue to operate even though the vehicle is turned off and can cause serious injury.
The electric motor for the cooling fan is controlled by vehicle coolant temperature, refrigerant pressure and vehicle speed. As the vehicle coolant temperature decreases, the electric motor will automatically shut off.
-
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 may result in severe malfunction or motor damage.
-
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 could reduce the effectiveness of the solution.
For mixing percentage, refer to the following table:

If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50 % water and 50 % antifreeze mix is the easiest to mix together because it is the same quantity for each.
