Maintenance
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring the
level to the MAX mark, but do not overfill.
If frequent additions are required, see an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products for a cooling system inspection.
Never remove the engine coolant radiator
cap, coolant cap or the drain plug while
the engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap, coolant
cap. Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back while the pressure is
released from the cooling system. When
you are sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap, using a
thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
The coolant level is influenced by the
engine temperature. Before checking or
refilling the coolant, turn the engine off.
The electric motor for the cooling fan may
continue to operate or start up when the
engine is not running and can cause
serious injury. Keep hands, clothing and
tools away from the rotating fan blades of
the cooling fan.
Always turn off the vehicle unless the
vehicle has to be inspected with the
engine on. Be cautious as the cooling fan
may operate if the negative (-) battery
terminal is not disconnected.
