brake
Check the rear brake drums and linings for
scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake
system including the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service procedures, referto the Shop Manual. F070J01A-AAT

o Exhaust pipe and mufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.Start the engine and listen carefully for any
exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections orreplace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT
o Suspension mounting bolts Check the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specifiedtorque. F070M01A-AAT
o Steering gear box, linkage & boots/
lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check for excessive free-play in the steering wheel.Check the linkage for bends or damage. Check
the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration,cracks, or damage. Replace any damagedparts. F070N01A-AAT
o Power steering pump, belt and hos-
es

Recommended Coolant
G050B01A
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi-tional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be main-tained with the correct concentration and typeof coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.
NEVER allow the concentration of antifreeze to
exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% levelor damage to the coolant system may result.For proper concentration when adding or re-placing the coolant, refer to the following table.
Coolant concentration
ZG050C1-A
To Check the Coolant Level
G050C01A
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the
plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool- ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"lines on the reservoir. If the level is below the"LOW" mark, add coolant to bring it up between"LOW" and "FULL". If the level is low, inspectfor coolant leaks and recheck the fluid levelfrequently. If the level drops again, visit yourHyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosisof the reason. ZG050D2-A
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5. NOTE: Coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill coolant on the car, wash it offthoroughly with clear water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap whencool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allowall the coolant to drain from the coolingsystem, then securely close the drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer’s directions on the coolantcontainer, add the appropriate quantity ofcoolant to the radiator.

CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be changed at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
3. Replace the bolt, screw it in with your fin-
gers and then tighten securely with thewrench.
G110C01X-EAT
Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is4.56 lmp.qts (5.2 Litres). WARNING: The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating tem-perature. This means that the engine, radia-tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot so youshould exercise great care not to burn your-self during this procedure.
G110B01X-AAT
Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is speciallydesigned to operate with ESSO JWS3314. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
ZG100B1-A
To Check the Manual Transaxle Oil Level
SSA6100B
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. Torefill the transaxle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the properlevel. Do not overfill.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin
to drip from the plug orifice. In this case theplug should be replaced. If the level is incor-rect, lubricant should be added until it beginsto drip from the plug orifice at which time theplug should be replaced.

While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each
of its other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" —and then return to "N". With the engine stillidling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any movingparts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, thenremove it again. Now check the fluid level on
the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" rangeon the dipstick.
Fluid level must be within this range
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipsticktube until the level reaches the "HOT" range.
Do not overfill.

G120A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BRAKES CAUTION: Because brakes are essential to the safe oper- ation of the car, it is suggested that they bechecked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer.The brakes should be checked and inspectedfor wear at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. G120B01A-AAT
Checking the Brake Fluid Level WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint
if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your brakingsystem. Follow the instructions printed on thecontainer.
G120D01A-AAT
To Check the Fluid Level The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should
be checked periodically. The level should bebetween the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on theside of the reservoir. If the level is at or below
the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it upto "MAX". Do not overfill.
WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. NOTE:
Only lint free cloth should be used for wip-
ing the dipstick. The presence of lint within the transaxle may cause problems with thenormal function of the transaxle.

Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioner set at one of its colder settings.
2. Open the hood and check two hoses by touching with your fingers. One line is theevaporator inlet, the other is the outlet. Ifthere is a temperature difference betweenthe two hoses, the refrigerant is low and thesystem should be recharged by your Hyundaidealer.
CAUTION:Running the air conditioning system for ex-tended periods of time with a low refrigerantlevel may damage the compressor. ZG140D1-A
Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air conditioner should be run forat least 10 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the airconditioning system is not otherwise in use.
G140A01A-AAT
AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and engine
radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc.
These can interfere with maximum cooling effi-
ciency. When removing such accumulations,brush or hose them away carefully to avoidbending the cooling fans.

To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaftand compressor pulleys. Pressing with yourfinger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 0.197 ~ 0.217 inches. If you have

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 fluid canor reservoir to remain open any longer than
required. This will avoid entry of dirt andmoisture which 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 therecommended fluid into the reservoir. Do notoverfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten.
