JUMP STARTING


WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY


D010D01A-AAT If the Engine Stalls While Driving


D020A02A-AAT


1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.


2. Turn on your emergency flashers. 3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.


Discharged battery


Booster battery


HLC4001


WARNING:


The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. If these instructions are not followed exactly, serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this procedure, seek qualified assis- tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive. When jump starting, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself, your clothing or on the car.


o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transported to an emergency facility, con- tinue to apply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.


o The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or open flame in the vicinity.


o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter- mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not at- tempt to use it for the jump start.


o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,


follow this procedure exactly:


1.


If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not touching.


2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-


sories in both vehicles.


3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact location shown on the previous page. First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the dis- charged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the nega- tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.


WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY


Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.


4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to assure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping operation, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.


5. Start the engine in the car with the dis- charged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several minutes.


6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the


reverse order of attachment.


If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.


IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS


D030A02A-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing, 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.


3.


2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off. If 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 cool- ant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of 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 conditioner 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 hands, long hair 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 coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im- mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal- er for assistance.


WARNING:


Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.


6.


If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add water to the reservoir (Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.


7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap- pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.


WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY


5. The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components may occur. 6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a month while the tire is stored.


CAUTION:


o Do not use snow chains with your tempo-


rary spare tire.


o Do not use more than one temporary


spare tire at a time.


CAUTION:


Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.


SPARE TIRE


D040A01A-AAT The following instructions for the temporary spare tire should be observed:


1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is prac- tical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and main- tained at the specified pressure while the tire is stored.

D060A01A-AAT


1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to pull off the road as this may cause a loss of control. When the car has slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so, brake carefully and pull off the road. Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm, level ground. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median area between the two traffic lanes.


2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emer- gency hazard flashers, set the parking brake and put the transaxle in "P" (automatic) or reverse (manual transaxle).


3. Have all passengers get out of the car. Be sure they all get out on the side of the car that is away from traffic.


4. Change the tire following the instructions


provided on the following pages.


D060A01A


The procedure described on the following pages can be used to rotate tires as well as to change a flat tire. When preparing to change a flat tire, check to be sure the gear selector lever is in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and that the parking brake is set, then:

Block the wheel that is diagonally opposite from the flat to keep the vehicle from rolling when the car is raised on the jack.


The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench handle counterclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position the wrench so the handle is to the right as shown in the drawing. Then, while holding the wrench near the end of the handle, pull up on it with steady pressure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-half turn.


The base of the jack should be placed on firm, level ground. The jack should be positioned as shown in the drawing.

WARNING:


Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid pos- sible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on the mounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could loosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.


D060H01A


To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger tight. The nuts should be installed with their small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then tighten the nuts as much as possible with your fingers again.


HLC4008


Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise. Then position the wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com- pletely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around the wheel tightening every other nut until they are all tight. Then double-check each nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have a technician tighten the wheel nuts to their proper torque as soon as possible.

CAUTION:


Your car can be damaged if towed incor- rectly!


If your car has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your car is not damaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen- erally aware of state and local laws governing towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain system is used and that all state and local laws are observed.


D080B01A


o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released.


o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is necessary to prevent damage to the steering lock mecha- nism, which is not designed to hold the front wheels straight while the car is being towed. o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dolly must be used.

CORROSION PROTECTION


E010A01A-AAT


Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro- sion By using the most advanced design and con- struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve the long term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required.


E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion


The most common causes of corrosion on your car are:


o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to


accumulate underneath the car.


o Removal of paint or protective coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corrosion.


E010C01A-AAT High-Corrosion Areas


If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro- tection is particularly important. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air and industrial pollution.


E010D01A-AAT Moisture Breeds Corrosion


Moisture creates the conditions in which corro- sion is most likely to occur. For example, corro- sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when temperatures are just above freezing. In such conditions, the corrosive material is kept in contact with the car surfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protec- tion because it is slow to dry and holds moisture in contact with the vehicle. Even though the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also accelerate corro- sion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dispersed. For all these reasons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only on the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car.


TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION


E020A01A-AAT You can help prevent corrosion from getting started by observing the following:


E020B01A-AAT Keep Your Car Clean


The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corrosive materials. Attention to the underside of the car is particu- larly important.


o If you live in a high-corrosion area — where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.— you should take extra care to prevent corrosion. In winter, hose off the underside of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thoroughly when winter is over. o When cleaning underneath the car, give par- ticular attention to the components under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening the accumulated mud rather than washing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water under high pressure and steam are particularly effective in removing accumulat- ed mud and corrosive materials.


CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE


CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4


WASHING AND WAXING


o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker panels and frame members, be sure that drain holes are kept open so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac- celerate corrosion.


E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry


Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a favorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your car in the garage or drive it into the garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed.


E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition


Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov- ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of corrosion. If bare metal is showing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended.


E020E01A-AAT Don't Neglect the Interior


E030A01A-AAT Washing Your Hyundai


Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean- ing materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper contain- ers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.


Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car in the shade.


Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust control chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumu- lations of mud or corrosive materials. Use a good quality car-washing solution and follow the manufacturer's directions on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household deter- gents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish.


44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE


Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time.


To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad.


To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water.


To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy wheels special attention in win- ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thoroughly afterwards.


After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will result.


When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse each section immediately after washing to avoid streaking.


After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the car is to remove water from the car so it will dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can damage the finish.


If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attention to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc- es on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the under- side of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop- pings, when not removed immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.


E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning


Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.


E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing


Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax. Use a good quality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the con- tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as well as the paint.

E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again


E040A01A-AAT To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery


E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts


You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a clean surface but spreads out over a larger area.


E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers


Special precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:


o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clean water. o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and the surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.


o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem- peratures. For example, if you have your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth.


To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not removed, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean- ers.


E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets


Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or powder. Read the instructions and follow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These cleaners work best when the carpet is kept as dry as possible.


To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra- sive materials on the seat belts as this may weaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex- cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage and replace them if necessary.


E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows


You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the in- side of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring.

F010C01A-AAT Specified Scheduled Procedures


F010D01A-AAT General Checks


To ensure that you receive the greatest number of miles of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be performed. Although careful design and engi- neering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost impor- tance. It is your responsibility to have these mainte- nance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warranties covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with your new vehicle provides further information about these warranties.


F010B01A-AAT Maintenance Requirements


The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas:


o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance


These are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distribu- tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be performed at any qualified service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs or re- placements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor may be used without affecting your warranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Handbook provides further information about your warranty coverage.


These are the regular checks you should per- form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page 6-3.


F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance


If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it your- self, see Section 6.


SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS


VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS


F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips


Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced, keep copies of the service records in your glove box. This will help ensure that you can docu- ment that the required procedures have been performed to keep your warranties in effect. This is especially important when service is not performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.


F020A02A-AAT o Inspection should be performed any time a


malfunction is experienced or suspected.


o Receipts for all emission control system ser- vices should be retained to demonstrate com- pliance with conditions of the emissions sys- tem warranty.


o After 120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS


VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS


F060M01A-AAT o Engine Oil and Filter


F060D01A-AAT o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and


F060G01A-AAT o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap


The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the car is being driven in severe condi- tions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required.


Connections


Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec- tions for leakage and damage. Have a trained techincian, replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately.


The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed.


F060C01A-AAT o Fuel Filter


A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, damage the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amount of foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require replacement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the engine for several minutes, and check for leaks at the connections. Fuel filters should be installed by trained techni- cians.


F060F01A-AAT o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation


Hoses


Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par- ticular attention should be paid to examine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deterioration or damage.


F060H01A-AAT o Air Cleaner Filter


A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom- mended when the filter is replaced.


F060J01A-AAT o Spark Plugs


Make sure to install new spark plugs of the correct heat range.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL


G030A01A-AAT Engine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.


G030B01A-AAT Recommended Oil


G030C02A-AAT To Check the Oil Level


G030D01A-AAT Adding Oil


G030C03A Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature and be sure it is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.


Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and with- draw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be be- tween the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range.


SH, SG or SG/CD (API) multi-grade and fuel efficient oil is recommended.


G030A02A


G030D03A If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:


1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-


2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not

5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter- clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A certain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan in place underneath it. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the carton or on the filter itself. Do not over-tighten (Tightening torque : 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m). Be sure that the mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate the new gas- ket on the filter before installation with clean engine oil.


DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE


7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap- ter 9 for engine oil capacity.


8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil


is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.


9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil


level.


NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptable manner. It is sug- gested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station for reclama- tion. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it in with the household trash.


PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Used engine oil may cause irritation or can- cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused can- cer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as pos- sible after handling used oil.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT


G050A01A-AAT


WARNING:


Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is re- moved. You could be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not re- move the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to the touch.


G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant


G050C01A-AAT To Check the Coolant Level


Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad- ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system must be main- tained with the correct concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level or damage to the coolant system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the coolant, refer to the following table.
