CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
SG130A1-C
(Not all models)To Check the Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked forleakage at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level isalways between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates aleak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immedi- ately.
HGK5012
SG120D1-E Brake Fluid Level 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 thereservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having carefully cleaned the area sur-rounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mindthat the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn andthat this is a normal condition.
WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an un- sealed container. The presence ofwater in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specifiedtime or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapidand serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingestedand ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil- dren.

26CHECKING THE FREE-PLAY
SG150A1-E STEERING WHEEL Steering wheel freeplay should be checked to ensure that the specifiedvalue is not exceeded. 1.18in. (30 mm)SG160A1-E
CLUTCH PEDAL
The clutch pedal freeplay should be
checked against the specified value. If the freeplay is not correct, the clutch should be adjusted by a Hyundai dealer. 0.24 ~ 0.51 in. (6 ~ 13 mm)
SG170A1-E
BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal freeplay should be
checked with the engine turned off. The pedal to floor clearance should be checked with the engine running and a load of 490 N applied to thepedal. If either value is incorrect, the necessary adjustment should be per- formed by a Hyundai dealer. Pedal tofloor clearance: 1.97 in. (50 mm) 0.12 ~ 0.31 in. (3 ~ 8 mm)
