WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu-mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap ordetergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re-placement parts or their equivalent. NOTE:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engineoil, gasoline etc.G090A01X-EAT
FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the
windshield washer system.
A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill
the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during bad weather orwhenever the washer system is in more fre-quent use.
The capacity of the washer reservoir is 2.19
lmp.qts (2.5 Litres).
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer systembecause it will damage the car’s finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled and the washer should not be operated ifthe washer reservoir is empty. This can
damage the washer fluid pump. XG100A2-E

CAUTION: The transaxle lubricant level should only be
checked when the engine is cold to preludethe possibility of personal injury by contactwith hot components.
1. To check the transaxle lubricant level, the vehicle should be placed on level ground and the level plug removed with a suitablespanner.

Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid levelis checked, the transaxle fluid should be atnormal operating temperature and the engineidling.
G110A01A-AAT
CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be changed at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
3. Replace the bolt, screw it in with your fin-
gers and then tighten securely with thewrench.

Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is4.56 lmp.qts (5.2 Litres). WARNING: The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating tem-perature. This means that the engine, radia-tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot so youshould exercise great care not to burn your-self during this procedure.

To Check the Manual Transaxle Oil Level
SSA6100B
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. Torefill the transaxle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the properlevel. Do not overfill.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin
to drip from the plug orifice. In this case theplug should be replaced. If the level is incor-rect, lubricant should be added until it beginsto drip from the plug orifice at which time theplug should be replaced.

abnormal function in the system. This is dueto a power steering fluid characteristic inextremely cold conditions.
Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid. NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty. ZG230B1-E
POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at those inter-vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5.The power steering hoses should be replaced ifthere is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose couldcause premature failure.

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS Before attempting to replace a light bulb, be
sure the switch is turned to the "OFF" position.
The drawings show how to reach light bulbs sothey may be changed. Be sure to replace the
