6-12 SG120A1-E BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION: Correct operation of the braking system is essential to the safe operation of the vehicleand therefore, any maintenance operationsother than those listed below should be en-trusted to a Hyundai dealer. SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in thebraking system. Care should be taken to ob-serve the instructions and precautions printedupon the container. SG120D1-E Brake Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The level should bebetween the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the sideof the reservoir. If the level is at or below the"MIN" mark, fluid should be added having care-fully cleaned the area surrounding the reservoircap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter thesystem. It should be borne in mind that the brakefluid level will decrease slightly as the frictionlinings of the pads and shoes become worn andthat this is a normal condition.
higher mark. If additional fluid is required, thisshould be poured into the transaxle through thedipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-ant temperature and may sometimes operateeven when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the bladesof the cooling fan so that you are not injuredby a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolanttemperature decreases, the fan will automati-cally shut off. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION:The automatic transaxle unit is a precisionengineered assembly and correct operationis dependant upon the exclusion of dirt andlint from the unit. Therefore, it is imperativethat only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used forwiping the dipstick and that the area aroundthe dipstick is thoroughly clean prior to levelchecking or adding fluid. Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transaxle unit is 7.8 litres.

WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should neverbe stored in an unsealed container. The pres-ence of water in the braking system will causevapour locks and increase the possibility ofbrake fade along with promoting corrosionwithin the braking system. The brake fluidmust be changed at the specified time ormileage interval to ensure continued safeoperation of the system. Brake fluid will causerapid and serious damage to paintwork. Ifaccidental spillage occurs, the affected areamust be rinsed with water immediately. Donot allow brake fluid to come into contactwith the eyes or to be ingested and ensurethat fluid is safely stored away form the reachof children. SG130A1-C CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID (Not all models)To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other under bonnetchecks. The system should be checked for leak-age at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid lossindicates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired immediately.
SG130B2-E Adding FluidRecommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap mustbe fully tightened to avoid contamination fromforeign matter or moisture. CAUTION: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should neverbe stored in an unsealed container. Do notallow petroleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubberseals of the system may result. WARNING: Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious dam-age to paintwork. If accidental spillage oc-curs, the affected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluidto come into contact with the eyes or to beingested and ensure that fluid is safely storedaway form the reach of children. SG140A1-E AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMMAINTENANCE Condenser Ensure that the condenser is periodically in- spected and that accumulations of dirt, deadinsects and leaves etc, are removed to ensurethat the efficiency of the system is not impaired.Care must be exercised to ensure that the con-denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.
