Maintenance
Checking the brake 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 fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake fluid contam-ination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage.This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
or capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
Before removing the brake/clutch
filler cap, read the warning on thecap.

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.

Maintenance
Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tire infla- tion pressures
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than1.6 km (1 mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pressure
refer to “Tire and wheels” in section8.
TTIIRR EESS AA NN DD WW HHEEEELLSS

Overinflation or underinfla-
tion can reduce tire life,
adversely affect vehicle han-
dling, and lead to sudden tire
failure. You must always main-tain recommended tire pres-sures.
Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pres-
sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6
psi). Do not release air fromwarm tires to adjust the pres-sure or the tires will be under-inflated.
Tire underinflation
If the tire pressure drops
repeatedly, the wheel, valve or
tire may be damaged. Underinflation results in reducing fitness of tire and
wheel, excessive wear, poorhandling and reduced fuel
economy. (Continued)
(Continued)
And it can lead to deformation or abnormal wear of wheel,
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separationand other tire failures 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 driving for long periodsat high speeds.
If the problem is not solved (a
tire frequently needs refilling),we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Tire overinflation
Tires with excessively high
pressure can burst because
they are damaged more easily
by road debris, potholes etc.
In addition, they also produce
a harsh ride, excessive wearat the center of the tire tread,and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.

Maintenance
Checking tire inflation pres- sure
Check your tires once a month or
more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by look-
ing at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they're
underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. - "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least three hours or driven nomore than 1.6 km (1 mile).
Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tire pressure when the
tires are cold. (After vehicle
has been parked for at least
three hours or hasn't beendriven more than 1.6 km (1
mile) since startup.)
Check the pressure of your
spare tire each time you checkthe pressure of other tires.
Never overload your vehicle.
Be careful not to overload a
vehicle luggage rack if your
vehicle is equipped with one.
Worn, old tires can cause
accidents. If your tread is
badly worn, or if your tires
have been damaged, replacethem.
CAUTION
Tire inflation Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and potential injury.
WARNING
Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pres-
sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6
psi). Do not release air fromwarm tires to adjust the pres-sure or the tires will be under-inflated.
Be sure to reinstall the tire
inflation valve caps. Without
the valve cap, 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 possible.
CAUTION
