VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5- 8
F070E01HP-GAT
o Automatic Transmission Fluid and
Filter
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engine and transmission are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatic transmission fluid level with the en- gine running and the transmission in neutral, with the parking brake properly applied. Use DEXRON- II or III when adding or changing
fluid. F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and LinesVisually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediate- ly. F070G02A-AAT o Brake FluidCheck brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. F070H01A-AAT
o Rear Brake Drums/ Linings,
Parking 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 and cables. For detailed service procedures, refer to the Shop Manual. F070J01A-AAT o Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-AAT o Exhaust Pipe and Muffler Visually 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 or replace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT o Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque. F070N01A-AAT
o Power Steering Pump, Belt and
Hoses
Check the power steering pump and hoses for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power steering belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, ex- cessive wear, oiliness and proper tension. Re- place or adjust it if necessary. F070P01A-AAT o Driveshafts and Boots Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the grease. F070Q01A-AAT
o Air Conditioning RefrigerantCheck the air conditioning lines and connec- tions for leakage and damage. Check air condi- tioning performance according to the relevant shop manual if necessary.
F070M01B-AAT
o Steering Gear Box, Linkage & Boots/
Lower Arm Ball Joint, Upper 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 damaged parts.

G030A01A-AAT CHECKING THE ENGINE OILEngine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions. G030B03HP-GAT Recommended Oil 1. Gasoline Engine
(1) Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric tem- perature. Recommended viscosity is given in the fol- lowing illustration.

To Check the Transmission Fluid Level
G110D03HP
Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engine idling.
G110C03HP-GAT
Transmission Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission
is; Gasoline - 10.5 liters (11.09 U.S. quarts) Diesel (2.9 CRDi) - 11.8 liters (12.47 U.S. quarts)
Diesel (2.5 TCI) - 8.2 liters (8.66 U.S. quarts)
WARNING:The transmission fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal oper- ating temperature. This means that the en- gine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure.
G110A01HP-GAT
CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (AUTOMATIC) Transmission fluid in the automatic transmis- sion should be checked at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. G110B01HP-GAT Recommended FluidYour Hyundai automatic transmission is spe- cially designed to operate with DEXRON- II or
DEXRON -III. Damage caused by a nonspecified
fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in
with your fingers and then tighten securely with the wrench.

G100B01HP-GAT To Check the Manual Transmission Fluid LevelG100B01HP
WARNING: It is always better to check the transmissionoil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hot engine or exhaust parts. Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen
the oil filler plug by turning it counterclock- wise 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. To refill the transmission or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 6-13
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
G120A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BRAKESCAUTION: Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5.
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 the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en- gine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. G120B02A-AAT Checking the Brake Fluid Level WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. Itcan 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 FluidUse only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on the container. G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir 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 bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill.
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" or "P". With the engine still idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands,
long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go,then remove it again. Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick.
3. If the transmission fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transmission fluid through thedipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill.
