BRAKE AND CLUTCH (IF EQUIPPED) FLUID
Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN 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
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-
ciated with the wear of the brake linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake system checked by an autho-
rised Hyundai dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to the section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Brake fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
should come in contact with your
eyes, immediately flush them with a
large quantity of fresh tap water.
Have your eyes examined by a doc-
tor as soon as possible.
WARNING - Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
the vehicle should be inspected by
an authorised Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION
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 extendedtime should never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. Itshould be thrown out. Don't put in
the wrong kind of fluid. A few dropsof mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your brake clutch sys-tem can damage brake clutch sys-
tem parts.

✽✽NOTICE
“COLD” scale is for reference only and
should NOT be used to determinetransaxle fluid level. ✽
✽
NOTICE
New automatic transaxle fluid should be
red. The red dye is added so the assem-bly plant can identify it as automatic
transaxle fluid and distinguish it from
engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye,
which is not an indicator of fluid quali-
ty, is not permanent. As the vehicle isdriven, the automatic transaxle fluid
will begin to look darker. The color may
eventually appear light brown.
Therefore, have an authorised Hyundai
dealer change the automatic transaxlefluid according to the ScheduledMaintenance at the beginning of thissection.
Use only the specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to the section 8.)
Changing the automatic transaxle fluid
Have automatic transaxle fluid changed
by an authorised Hyundai dealer accord-ing to the Maintenance Schedule at thebeginning of this section.
WARNING - Transaxle fluid
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at nor-
mal operating temperature. This
means that the engine, radiator,
radiator hose and exhaust system
etc., are very hot. Exercise great
care not to burn yourself during
this procedure.
WARNING - Hand brake
To avoid sudden movement of the
vehicle, apply hand brake and
depress the brake pedal before
moving the shift lever.
CAUTION
Low fluid level causes transaxle slippage. Overfilling can causefoaming, loss of fluid and transaxle malfunction.
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transaxle malfunc-tion and failure.

WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visualinspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. 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. Checking the hand brake
Check the stroke of the hand brake by
counting the number of “clicks’’ heardwhile fully applying it from the released
position. Also, the hand brake alone
should securely hold the vehicle on a fair-
ly steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, have the hand brake
adjusted by an authorised Hyundai deal-
er.
Stroke : 7
“clicks’’ at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
WARNING - Coolant
Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may cause
loss of vehicle control or damage
to paint and body trim.
Windshield Washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under cer-
tain circumstances. Do not allowsparks or flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluid
reservoir. Damage to the vehicle
or occupants could occur.
Windshield washer fluid is poi- sonous to humans and animals.
Do not drink and avoid contact-ing windshield washer fluid.
Serious injury or death could
occur.

TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre infla-
tion pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution recom-
mended for your vehicle. Recommended cold tyre inflation pressures All tyre pressures (including the spare)
should be checked every day when the
tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at least
three hours or driven less than 1.6 km(one mile).
Recommended pressures must be main-
tained for the best ride, top vehicle han-
dling, and minimum tyre wear. All specifications (sizes and pressures)
can be found on a label attached to the
vehicle.
WARNING - Tyre underin-
flation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10
psi) or more) can lead to severe
heat build-up, causing blowouts,tread separation and other tyre fail-ures that can result in the loss of
vehicle control leading to severe
injury or death. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when driv-
ing for protracted periods at highspeeds.

Maintenance
WARNING - Tyre inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sud-
den tyre failure. This could result in
loss of vehicle control and potential
injury.
CAUTION - Tyre pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. (After vehicle hasbeen parked for at least threehours or hasn't been driven more
than 1.6 km (one mile) since start- up.)
Check the pressure of your spare tyre each time you check thepressure of other tyres.
Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload a vehicleluggage rack if your vehicle is equipped with one.
Worn, old tyres can cause acci- dents. If your tread is badly worn,or if your tyres have been dam- aged, replace them.
CAUTION
Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handlingand reduced fuel economy. Wheeldeformation also is possible.
Keep your tyre pressures at theproper levels. If a tyre frequentlyneeds refilling, have it checked byan authorised Hyundai dealer.
Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the centreof the tyre tread, and a greaterpossibility of damage from road
hazards.
CAUTION
Warm tyres normally exceed rec- ommended cold tyre pressuresby 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do notrelease air from warm tyres to
adjust the pressure or the tyres will be underinflated.
Be sure to reinstall the tyre infla- tion valve caps. Without the valvecap, dirt or moisture could get
into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing,install a new one as soon as pos-
sible.

735
Maintenance
Disc brake pads should be inspected forwear whenever tyres are rotated.
✽✽NOTICE
Rotate radial tyres that have an asym-
metric tread pattern only from front to
rear and not from right to left.
Wheel alignment and tyre balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned
and balanced carefully at the factory to
give you the longest tyre life and best
overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However, if
you notice unusual tyre wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.S2BLA790

Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is lessthan 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread left on
the tyre. Replace the tyre when this hap-
pens.
Do not wait for the band to appear across
the entire tread before replacing the tyre.
WARNING - Replacing
tyres
Driving on worn-out tyres is very hazardous and will reduce brak-
ing effectiveness, steering accu-
racy, and traction.
Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for safe
ride and handling capability. Do
not use a size and type of tyre
and wheel that is different from
the one that is originally installed
on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and seri-
ous injury. When replacing the
tyres, be sure to equip all fourtyres with the tyre and wheel of
the same size, type, tread, brand
and load-carrying capacity.

Tread wear indicator(Continued)
The use of any other tyre size ortype may seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, stop-
ping distance, body to tyre clear-
ance, snow tyre clearance, and
speedometer reliability.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that is not
possible, or necessary, then
replace the two front or two rear
tyres as a pair. Replacing just one
tyre can seriously affect your
vehicle’s handling.
The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. Tyre size
can affect wheel speed. When
replacing tyres, all 4 tyres must
use the same size originally sup-
plied with the vehicle. Using tyres
of a different size can cause the
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
and ESP (Electronic Stability
Program) (if equipped) to work
irregularly.

737
Maintenance
Compact spare tire replacement (if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter tread
life than a regular size tire. Replace it
when you can see the tread wear indica-
tor bars on the tire. The replacementcompact spare tire should be the same
size and design tire as the one provided
with your new vehicle and should bemounted on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare tire
wheel is not designed for mounting a reg-
ular size tire. Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any
reason, make sure the new wheels are
equivalent to the original factory units in
diameter, rim width and offset. Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tyres should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. To reduce the
possibility of losing control, slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice onthe road.
Tyre maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre
wear. If you find a tyre is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-ment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tyre
life. Additionally, a tyre should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from thewheel.
Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tyre and also provides the tyre identifica-
tion number (TIN) for safety standard
certification. The TIN can be used toidentify the tyre in case of a recall.
