Hyundai Palisade: Cooling System / Coolant
Repair procedures
Replacement And Air Bleeding |
• |
Be careful not to damage the parts located under the vehicle
(floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank and canister) when
raising the vehicle using the lift.
(Refer to General Information - "Lift and Support Points")
|
|
• |
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
scalding could be caused by hot fluid under high pressure escaping
from the radiator.
|
|
• |
When pouring engine coolant, shut the relay box lid and be careful
not to spill coolant on the electrical parts or the paint. Rinse
off any spilt coolant immediately.
|
|
1. |
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the touch.
|
2. |
Remove the radiator cap (A).

|
3. |
Remove the engine room under cover.
(Refer to Engine and Transaxle Assembly - "Engine Room Under Cover")
|
4. |
Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.

|
5. |
Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
|
6. |
Remove, drain and reinstall the reservoir. Fill the tank halfway to
the MAX mark with water, then up to the MAX mark with antifreeze.
|
7. |
Fill the radiator with water through the radiator cap and tighten the
cap.
•
|
To most effectively bleed air, pour water slowly while
pressing on the upper / lower radiator hoses..
|
|
|
8. |
Start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature.
Wait until the cooling fans turn on 2-3 times. Accelerate the engine
to aid in purging trapped air. Shut the engine off.
|
9. |
Wait until the engine is cool.
|
10. |
Repeat steps 1 to 8 until the drained water runs clear.
|
11. |
Fill with fluid mixture of coolant and water (45-60% or 45-50% in North
America, Europe and China) slowly through the radiator cap.
Push the upper/lower hoses of the radiator so as to bleed air easily.
•
|
Use only the specified antifreeze/coolant.
|
•
|
For best corrosion protection, the coolant concentration
must be maintained year-round at 45 - 60% minimum.
Coolant concentrations less than 45 - 60% may not provide
sufficient protection against corrosion or freezing.
|
•
|
Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will impair
cooling efficiency and are not recommended.
|
|
•
|
Do not mix different brands of antifreeze/coolants.
|
•
|
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products;
they may not be compatible with the coolant.
|
|
|
12. |
Start the engine and run until coolant circulates.
|
13. |
When the cooling fan operates and coolant circulates, refill coolant
through the radiator cap.
|
14. |
Repeat step 11 until the cooling fan operates 3-5 times to sufficiently
bleed air out of the cooling system.
|
15. |
Install the radiator cap and fill the reservoir tank to the "MAX" (or
"F") line with coolant.
|
16. |
Run the vehicle under idle until the cooling fan operates 2-3 times.
|
17. |
Stop the engine and wait for the coolant to cool down.
|
18. |
Repeat steps 10 to 15 until the coolant level doesn't fall anymore to
bleed air out of the cooling system.
•
|
Bleed air out of the cooling system and refill coolant
after the coolant has cooled down completely. To do
this, recheck the coolant level in the reservoir tank
2-3 days after replacing coolant.

Coolant capacity :
Approx. 11.98 L (3.16 U.S.gal., 12.66 U.S.qt., 10.54 lmp.qt.)

Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger's seat.
An inflating air bag can forcefully
strike a child or child restraint resulting
in serious or fatal injury.
