FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
G090A01CM-DAT The washer fluid reservoir supplies
fluid to the windshield washer system. A good quality washer fluid should beused to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weather orwhenever the washer system is in frequent use. The capacity of the washer reservoir is 4.6 litres.
2. Pull up the wiper blade until you
hear an audible "click" to engage in the end of the wiper arm.
NOTE: Do not allow the wiper arm to fall against the windshield. HHR5051
OCM055028LCAUTION:
o Radiator anti-freeze (engine cool- ant) should not be used in the washer system because it willdamage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be oper-
ated if the washer reservoir isempty. This can damage the washer fluid pump.

To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level Keep the vehicle on level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the follow- ing procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N(neutral)
position and confirm the engine is running at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up
sufficiently [fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)], for example by 10 minutes usual driving, move the shift lever through all positionsthen place the shift lever in N(neutral) or P(park) position.
The automatic transaxle fluid levelshould be checked regularly.
OCM055006 3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the
“75°C” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the specified fluid from the fill hole. Ifthe fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition[fluid temperature 20~30°C (68~86°F)], add the fluid to the “25°C”line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2.
Fluid level should be within 75°C range

!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor-mal condition.
CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT
! CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the
safe operation of the car, it is sug- gested that they be checked andinspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervalsspecified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.

Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can
damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluidbottle or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will avoid entry of dirt and moisturewhich can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the recommendedfluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser- voir and tighten.
G120D01CM-AAT
To Check the Fluid Level It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads wear.
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir should be checked periodically.The level should be between the "MIN"and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bringit up to "MAX".
OCM055014R
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications inyour braking system. Follow the in- structions printed on the container.

19CHANGING THE CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
B145A01CM-DAT
(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)
The climate control air filter is located in the passenger cabin in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box. It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and remove the adjusting pins on both sides of the glove box.
G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air condition-ing should be run for at least 10 min- utes each week. This is particularly important during cool weather whenthe air conditioning system is not oth- erwise in use.
!
G140B01A-AAT
Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast
idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may dam- age the compressor.
OCM055010R
AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-DAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accumu- lations, brush or hose them away care-fully to avoid bending the cooling fins. Replacement of the filter drier
To comply with local Australian State
codes and Laws the filter drier must be replaced if the system has been opened to the atmosphere for any reason or if during servicing no refrigerant is foundin the system.

Replacing Accessory Fuse
The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found low on the dashboard on the driver'sside. Inside the box you will find a list showing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or other electrical accessories stop working, a blown (open) fuse could be the reason.If the fuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has melted through. If you suspect a blownfuse, follow this procedure:
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never
use anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece of wire ora higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious damage and create a fire hazard.
!
CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to theentire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system draw- ing too much current.) If this everhappens, have a Hyundai dealer deter- mine the cause, repair the system and replace the fusible link. The fusiblelinks are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. G200A01A-AAT

1. Turn off the ignition and all otherswitches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fusepuller" tool is contained in the relay and fuse box of the engine room to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses
even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressinga new fuse of the same rating intoplace. The fuse should be a snugfit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a sparefuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an accessory you can tempo-rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Al- ways remember to replace the bor-rowed fuse.
