POWER STEERING Checking the power steering fluid
level With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering reser-
voir periodically. The fluid should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir at the normal tem-
perature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thor-
oughly clean the area around the reser-
voir cap to prevent power steering fluid
contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.In the event the power steering system
requires frequent addition of fluid, the
vehicle should be inspected by an
Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
Use only the specified power steering
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended
Lubricants" later in this section.)
Power steering hosesCheck the connections for oil leaks,
severe damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
CAUTION
 To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle for prolonged periods
with a low power steering fluid
level.
 Never start the engine when the
reservoir tank is empty.
 When adding fluid, be careful that
dirt does not get into the tank.
 Too little fluid can result in
increased steering effort and/or
noise from the power steering sys-
tem.
 The use of the non-specified fluid
could reduce the effectiveness of
the power steering system and
cause damage to it.
