Maintenance
Manual transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
Dual clutch transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
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” and “MAX” 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 lever (or
pedal) and cables.
Brake pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
For more information on checking
the pads or lining wear limit, refer to
the HYUNDAI web site.

Maintenance
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 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 nor-
mal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings.If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in chapter 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch
filler 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.

In the event the brake/clutch
system requires frequent addi-
tions of fluid, we recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

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 extend-
ed time should never be used as
its quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.
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.
NOTICE
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it
carefully. Do not let it come in
contact with your eyes. If brake/
clutch fluid should come in con-
tact 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.

PARKING BRAKE
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 serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 5~6 “clicks’’ at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter in the diesel engine
operates the critical function of sepa-
rating water from the fuels and accu-
mulating the water in its bottom.
When enough water is accumulated
inside the fuel filter, the warning light
illuminates with the ignition switch in
the ON position.
In this case, we recommend you to
have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the accumulated water is
not drained at a proper timing,
water may permeate in the fuel fil-
ter, damaging the major vehicle
components, such as the fuel sys-
tem.
Information
When replacing the fuel filter car-
tridge, we recommend that you use
parts for replacement from an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
