Maintenance
The use of an unauthorized fluid
may result in transmission mal-
function and failure. Use only the
authorized automatic transmis-
sion fluid. (Refer to “Recommended
lubricants and capacities” in the
chapter 8.)
Brake hoses and lines
Confirm the proper installation, and
check for any frictions, cracks, dete-
rioration and leakage. If necessary,
immediately replace any deteriorated
or damaged parts.
Brake fluid
Check the brake fluid level. The level
should be between “MIN” and “MAX”
marks on the reservoir. Use only the
hydraulic brake fluid, which meet the
requirements of the DOT3/DOT4
specifications.
Brake discs, pads, calipers
and rotors
Check the pads and the disc for any
excessive wear-out, and inspect
calipers for any fluid leakage.
Exhaust pipe and muffler
Inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for any cracks, deterio-
rations, or damages. Start the
engine, and listen carefully for any
gas leaking noise. If necessary, tight-
en connections or replace the dam-
aged parts.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for any looseness or damage. If nec-
essary, retighten the bolt to the spec-
ified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
After stopping the vehicle and turn-
ing off the engine, confirm the steer-
ing locking (tightening).
Check the bends for any linkage or
damage. Check the dust boots and
ball joints for any deterioration,
cracks, or damage. If necessary,
replace the damaged parts.
Power steering pump, belt and
hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for any leakage or damage. If
necessary, immediately replace any
damaged or leaking parts. Inspect
the power steering belt (or drive belt)
for any cuts, cracks, excessive wear-
out, oil saturation or looseness. If
necessary, replace or adjust the
damaged part.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for any cracks, deterioration,
or damage. If necessary, replace or
grease the damaged part.
Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for any leakage or dam-
age.
NOTICE

7-31
Maintenance07
Checking the power steering
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir on a regular basis,
after parking on a level ground. The
fluid level should be between MAX
and MIN marks on the gauge at a
normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid,
clean the area around the reservoir
cap to prevent power steering fluid
contamination.
When the level is low, add the fluid
near to the MAX level.
When the power steering system
requires frequent fluid addition, have
the vehicle inspected by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer. To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate
the vehicle for a prolonged peri-
od of time, when the power
steering fluid level is low.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
Pay special attention while adding the fluid. So, any dirt
does not get into the tank.
Low level of the fluid may increase the steering effort and
noise from the power steering
system.
The use of the unauthorized fluid may reduce the effects of
the power steering system and
damage it.
Use only the authorized power steer-ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommendedlubricants or capacities" in the chap-ter 8.)
Checking the power steering
hose
Check the connections for any oil
leakage, damages and twists, before
driving.

Tire replacement
When a tire unevenly wears out, a
tread wear indicator, in a pattern of a
solid band, appears over the tread.
This indicates that there is less than
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left.
When finding it, replace the tire.
Do not delay the tire replacement,
until all the indicators appear over
the entire tire tread.
OEN076053
Tread wear indicator
- Replacing tires
To reduce the risk of a serious
or fatal injury, caused by a tire
failure or a loss of vehicle con-
trol, follow the below warnings:
Replace tires, which areseverely worn out, unevenly
wear out, or damaged. Worn-
out tires may degrade the
braking effects, steering con-
trol, and traction.
Do not drive your vehicle with overinflated or underinflated
tires. This may cause uneven
abrasion or a tire failure.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When replacing tires of yourvehicle, never mix radial-ply
tires and bias-ply tires. You
must replace all the tires
(including the spare) when
changing from radial-ply tires
to bias-ply tires.
Tires and wheels in the differ- ent sizes may cause abnormal
handling and poor vehicle
control, resulting in a serious
accident.
Wheels, which do not satisfy the HYUNDAI’s specifications,
may be unfit and result in a
vehicle damage, abnormal
handling and poor vehicle
control.
The ABS operates upon com- paring the wheel speeds. A
tire size determines a wheel
speed. When replacing tires,
all the tires must be in the
same size as the original
ones. Installing tires in a dif-
ferent size may cause irregu-
lar operation of the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
