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 reser-
voir 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 accumulated kilometres/
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings and/or clutch disc (if
equipped).If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants or capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
✽NOTICE
Before removing the brake/clutch
filler cap, read the warning on the cap.
WARNING - Loss of
brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - 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 should 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.
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
extended time should never be
used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be proper-
ly disposed. Don't put in the
wrong kind of fluid. A few drops
of mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in your brake/clutch
system can damage brake/clutch
system parts.
OMD071006R
WARNING
Clean filler cap before remov-
ing. Use only DOT3 or DOT4
brake/clutch fluid from a sealed
container.

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.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard whilst 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
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 6~8 “clicks’’ at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
PARKING BRAKE
WARNING -Coolant
• Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can severely
obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen
and may cause loss of vehicle
control or damage to the paint
and body trim.
• Windscreen washer fluid
agents contain some amounts
of alcohol and can be flamma-
ble under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks
or flame to come in contact
with the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir.
Damage to the vehicle or
occupants could occur.
• Windscreen washer fluid is
poisonous to humans and ani-
mals. Do not drink and avoid
coming in contact with the
windscreen washer fluid.
Serious injury or death could
occur.

WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
✽NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
1JBA5122/H
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified
wiper blade could result in
wiper malfunction and failure.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.

BATTERY
For best battery service
• Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
• Keep the battery top clean and dry.
• Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
• Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle is not going to be

sparks away from the bat-
tery.
Hydrogen, a highly com-
bustible petrol, is always
present in battery cells
and may explode if ignit-
ed.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC
ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothing or
paint finish.

If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical
attention.
If electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash
the contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near
a battery. Always provide
ventilation when working
in an enclosed space.
