AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUIDCHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL (MANUAL)
G100A01MC-EAT
Transaxle lubricant in the manual transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5.
!WARNING:
It is always better to check the
transaxle oil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hotengine or exhaust parts.
NOTE: It is recommended that the manual
transaxle fluid should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer. G110A01MC-EAT The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked and changed at those intervals prescribed in the main-tenance schedule. It is of paramount importance that only the specified fluid is used when replenishing or changingthe fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably damage the transaxle and invalidate the manufacturers warranty.In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may prevent correct functioning of the transaxle and care must be exercisedto prevent the ingress of such matter.

NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is red in colour. As driving distance in-creases, the fluid colour turns dark- ish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judgethe need to replace based upon the changing colour. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehicle maintenances schedule in section 5.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level must bechecked with the engine running and at normal operating tempera- ture and therefore care must be ex-ercised to prevent injury occurring through contact with rotating or hot parts of the engine. G110D03L-GAT
Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground
with the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the following procedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neu- tral) position and confirm the engine is running at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently (fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)), for example by 10 minutes usual driving, shiftthe selector lever through all posi- tions then place the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position.
HGK5007
1.6L/2.0L

HGK5008
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
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 thefluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C(68~86°F)) add the fluid to “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2.

SG120A1-E BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK- ING
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking
system is essential to the safe operation of the vehicle and there- fore, any maintenance operationsother than those listed below should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.
!WARNING:
The electric engine cooling fan au-
tomatically switches on and off ac- cording to engine temperature. Be careful to keep away from the fan during this check as it may switchon at any time.
NOTE: Only lint free cloth should be used for wiping the dipstick. The pres- ence of lint within the transaxle may cause problems with the nor- mal function of the transaxle. The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir 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 belowthe "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having carefully cleaned the area sur- rounding the reservoir cap to ensurethat dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be noted will de- crease slightly as the friction linings ofthe pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.

CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
SG130A1-C
(Manual Transaxle)To Check the Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked forleakage at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level isalways between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates aleak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immedi- ately.
WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an un- sealed container. The presence ofwater in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specifiedtime or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapidand serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingestedand ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil- dren.

Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for
ten minutes or so weekly during peri- ods when the system would not nor- mally be used to ensure that thecompressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and dam- aged when the system is next used resulting in a loss of refrigerant anddamage to the compressor.

SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.

!
YG210A1-E
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.
As the coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condi- tion. Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should auto-
matically come on if the engine cool- ant temperature is high. Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser cooling fan (in front of
the condenser) should come on auto- matically whenever the air conditioneris in operation. YG220A1-E Power Steering Hoses It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5. The power steering hoses should be replaced if there are severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hoses could cause premature failure.
HGK5011
G230A01GK-EAT The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly.
To check the power steering fluid level,
be sure the ignition 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 The power steering pump may be
noisy when the engine is first started in the extreme cold (-20°C/ -4°F). This noise is not abnormal and will stop as the engine warmsup. If the power steering pump continues to be noisy after the engine has warmed up, have itinspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Do not check whilst the engine is running. Do not start when powersteering fluid reservoir is empty.
