If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the
shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the
parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant
is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine.
Do not open the hood until the coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped.
If there is no visible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running
and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing.
If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to
be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the
car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be
draining from it when you stop.)
WARNING
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This may result in coolant being blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If overheating happens again, call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
