6-8 4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with-
out pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pressure remaining in the cool-ing system. And remove the radiator cap bypushing down and turning counterclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineral- ized or distilled water. Continue to add cleandemineralized or distilled water in small quan-tities until the fluid level stays up in theradiator neck.

To Change the Engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Engine coolant can damage the finish of
your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the park- ing brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allowall the engine coolant to drain from thecooling system, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer's directions on the enginecoolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of engine coolant to the radiator.
G050D01A
5. Start the engine, top off the radiator withwater and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "L" and"F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the drain cocks are fullyclosed and not leaking.
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 coolant 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.

To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level
HGK174
Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid levelis checked, the transaxle fluid should be atnormal operating temperature and the engineidling.
G110C02Y-GAT
Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 7.8 liters (8.2 U.S. quarts). 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. Exer-cise great care not to burn yourself duringthis procedure.

To Check the Manual Transaxle Fluid Level
SSA6100B
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 or suitable tool to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottomedge. If it is not, check for leaks beforeadding oil. To refill the transaxle or bring theoil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches theproper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securelywith the wrench. G110A02A-AAT CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC) Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Basically automatic transaxle fluid is red color. As driving distance increases, thefluid color turns darkish red gradually. It isnormal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replacing thetransaxle fluid. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specifiedin the vehicle maintenances schedule insection 5. G110B03A-AAT
Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially
designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III. Damage caused by anonspecified fluid is not covered by your newvehicle limited warranty.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 6-13
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" — andthen return to "N" or "P". With the engine stillidling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
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 onthe dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" rangeon the dipstick.
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. 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. Fluid level should be within this range

Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on thecontainer. G120A01A-AAT
CHECKING THE BRAKES
CAUTION: Because brakes are essential to the safe
operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by yourHyundai dealer. The brakes should bechecked and inspected for wear at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle mainte-nance schedule in Section 5.

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 paintif spilled on it and not removed immediately.

To Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. Thereservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoidcontamination from foreign matter or moisture. NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to contami- nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result. WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if you get it in youreyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paintif spilled on it and not removed immediately. G140A01A-AAT
AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically foraccumulation 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.
G120D01A-AAT
To Check the Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should
be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on theside of the reservoir. If the level is at or belowthe "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it upto "MAX". Do not overfill.
G120E02A-AAT
Adding Brake Fluid WARNING: Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use onlyDOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from asealed container. Do not allow the fluid canor reservoir to remain open any longer thanrequired. 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 thenunscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour therecommended fluid into the reservoir. Do notoverfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten. G130A01S-AAT
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID (Manual Transaxle)To Check the Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other un-der hood services. The system should bechecked for leakage at the same time. Check tomake certain that the clutch fluid level is alwaysbetween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid lossindicates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired immediately.Consult your Hyundai dealer.
