Maintenance
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between "MIN" (Minimum) and
"MAX" (Maximum) marks on the side
of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake pedal
and cables.
Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant
(if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam
age.

BRAKE/CluTCh FluId (IF EquIPPEd)
Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (Maximum) and MIN
(Minimum) marks on the side of the
reservoir. Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch
fluid contamination. If the level is low,
add fluid to the MAX (Maximum)
level. The level will fall with accumu
lated mileage. This is a normal con
dition associated with the wear of the
brake linings and/or clutch disc (ifequipped).
If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants or capacities” in chapter 8.)
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch fil
ter cap, read the warning on the cap.
Information
Clean filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/clutch
fluid from a sealed container.i
i
Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the sys
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should never be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be properly disposed. Don't
put in the wrong kind of fluid. A few
drops of mineralbased oil, such as
engine oil, in your brake/clutch sys
tem can damage brake/clutch system
parts.
NOTICE
Brake/clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it care
fully. Do not let it come in contact
with your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a
large quantity of fresh tap water.
Have your eyes examined by a
doctor as soon as possible.

WAShER FluId
Checking the washer fluid level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli
mates to prevent freezing. Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid reser
voir.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position.
Also, the parking brake alone should
securely hold the vehicle on a fairly
steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 6~8 “clicks’’ at a force of 20
kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
