CAUTION:
Use of aftermarket ATF additives may
cause damage to the automatic
transaxle.
Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III,
DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or
other brands meeting the SP III specifi-
cation approved by Hyundai Motor Co..
If you are having your vehicle serviced
at a facility other than a Hyundai dealer,
verify that the correct ATF is used for
your vehicle.
G110D03L-AATChecking the automatic transaxle
fluid levelThe automatic transaxle fluid level should
be checked regularly.
!
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal
operating temperature. This means that
the engine, radiator, radiator hose, ex-
haust system etc., are very hot. Exer-
cise great care not to burn yourself dur-
ing this procedure.
HTG5012
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following pro-
cedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neutral)
position and confirm the engine is run-
ning at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up suffi-
ciently (fluid temperature 70~80°C
(158~176°F)), for example by 10 min-
utes usual driving, shift the selector
lever through all positions then place
the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P
(Park) position.

CHECKING THE BRAKES!
G120B01A-AATChecking the Brake Fluid Level
WARNING:Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if it gets into
your eyes. It will also damage your
vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not
removed immediately.
!
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
G120A01A-AAT
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the
safe operation of the car, it is suggested
that they be checked and inspected by
your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should
be checked and inspected for wear at
those intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in Section 5.
!
3. Confirm that the fluid level is in “HOT”
range on the level gauge. If the fluid
level is lower, add the specified fluid
from the fill hole. If the fluid level is
higher, drain the fluid from the drain
hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold con-
dition (fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F)) add the fluid to “COLD” line
and then recheck the fluid level accord-
ing to the above step 2.

G120D01A-AATTo Check the Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir
should be checked periodically. The level
should be between the "MIN" and "MAX"
marks on the side of the reservoir. If the
level is at or below the "MIN" mark, care-
fully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not
overfill.G120C02A-AATRecommended Brake FluidUse only hydraulic brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your
braking system. Follow the instructions
printed on the container.
!
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 remain
open any longer than required. This will
prevent 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 res-
ervoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the
cap on the reservoir and tighten.
