Maintenance
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50 %
water and 50 % antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to use
for most temperature ranges of -31 °F (-35
°C) and higher.
Changing coolant
Have the coolant changed by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products according to the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this chapter.
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze in
the washer fluid reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the windshield
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause damage to
paint and body trim.
To prevent damage to engine parts, put a
thick towel around the engine coolant
cap or liquid-cooled intercooler coolant
cap before refilling the coolant to prevent
the coolant from overflowing into engine
parts, such as the alternator.
Brake Fluid
Checking the brake fluid level
OIK093145
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add the specified brake
fluid to the MAX level. The level will fall
with accumulated mileage. This is a
normal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings. If the fluid level
is excessively low, have the brake system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate a leak
in the brake system. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
Do not let brake fluid enter into your eyes.
If brake fluid gets in your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention.
