5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water

and then add engine coolant to the reservoir
until the level is between "L" and "F".

6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and

check to be sure the drain cocks are fully
closed and not leaking.

WARNING:

The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan blade.
As the engine coolant temperature de-
creases, the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES

!

CAUTION:

o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass.

This can result in more rapid wear of the
wiper blades and may scratch the glass.

o Keep the blade rubber out of contact

with petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.

The wiper blades should be carefully inspected
from time to time and cleaned to remove accu-
mulations of road film or other debris. To clean
the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge
or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water.
If the wipers continue to streak or smear the
glass, replace them with Genuine Hyundai
Replacement Parts or their equivalent.
