G120E02A-AATAdding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can dam-
age your vision if it gets into your eyes.
Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification
fluid from a sealed container. Do not
allow the fluid can or reservoir to re-
main open any longer than required.
This will avoid entry of dirt and moisture
which can damage the brake system
and cause improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any
dirt, then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap.
Slowly pour the recommended fluid into
the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully
replace the cap on the reservoir and
tighten.
AIR CONDITIONER CAREG140A01A-AATKeeping the Condenser CleanThe air conditioner condenser (and en-
gine radiator) should be checked periodi-
cally for accumulation of dirt, dead in-
sects, leaves, etc. These can interfere
with maximum cooling efficiency. When
removing such accumulations, brush or
hose them away carefully to avoid bend-
ing the cooling fans.
Checking the amount of air condi-
tioner refrigerant and compressor
lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low, the
performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negative
impact on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found,
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTE:
It is important when servicing the air
conditioning system that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com-
pressor and abnormal system opera-
tion may occur.

CHECKING THE BATTERY!
G210A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When
working with batteries, carefully ob-
serve the following precautions to avoid
serious injuries.o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assis-
tance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out
your eyes with water and get medical
assistance as soon as possible. While
you are being driven to get medical
assistance, continue to rinse your eyes
by using a sponge or soft cloth saturat-
ed with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a
large quantity of water or milk followed
by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or
drink vegetable oil. Get medical assis-
tance as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged (either
by a battery charger or by the vehicle's
alternator), they produce explosive gases.
Always observe these warnings to pre-
vent injuries from occurring:
o Charge batteries only in a well venti-
lated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smok-
ing in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
OMC055018
The fluid in the battery contains a strong
solution of sulfuric acid, which is poison-
ous and highly corrosive. Be careful not
to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do
spill battery fluid on yourself, immediately
do the following:
G210B05A-AATChecking the BatteryKeep the battery clean. Any evidence of
corrosion around the battery posts or ter-
minals should be removed using a solu-
tion of household baking soda and warm
water. After the battery terminals are dry,
cover them with a light coating of grease.
!
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth de-
fects and reproductive harm. Batteries
also contain other chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer.
Wash hands after handling.

G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the
vehicle maintenance schedule in Section
5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure.
POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01MC-AAT(If Installed)The power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine is
"OFF", then check to make certain that the
power steering fluid level is between the
"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the
fluid reservoir.NOTE:
o Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immediately
after the engine is started in ex-
tremely cold conditions (below -4°F).
If the noise stops during warm up,
there is no abnormal function in the
system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold
conditions.
o Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is empty.

Headlight
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye pro-
tection.
2. Open the engine hood and disconnect
the negative (-) post of the battery.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic
base, avoid touching the glass.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the
back of the headlight.
REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT
BULBS!
G260A01MC-AATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach
the light bulbs so they may be changed.
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb
with one of the same number and watt-
age rating.
See page 6-29 for the wattage descrip-
tions.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with
petroleum products, such as oil,
gasoline, etc.
o If you don't have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult your authorized Hyundai
dealer.
G270A02MC-GATHeadlight, Front Turn Signal Light
and Front Fog Light
CAUTION:
o The headlight aiming should be
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer after replacing the headlight
bulbs.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the
lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
