o Automatic Transmission Fluid and
Filter
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engine and transmissionare at normal operating temperature. Check theautomatic transmission fluid level with the en-gine running and the transmission in neutral,with the parking brake properly applied. UseMOBIL DEXRON- II when adding or changing
fluid. F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replaceany deteriorated or damaged parts immediate-ly. F070G02A-AAT
o Brake Fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir. The level should be between "MIN" and"MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Useonly hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3or DOT 4. F070H01HP-GAT
o Rear Brake Drums/ Linings/Pads,
Parking Brake
Check the rear brake drums, linings and pads for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brakesystem including the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service procedures, referto 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 MufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.Start the engine and listen carefully for anyexhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections orreplace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT o Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specifiedtorque.
F060H01A-AAT

G090A01HP-AAT FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
G090A01HP
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer system.A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weather or whenever the washer system is in more frequent use.The capacity of the washer reservoir is 4.5 liters (4.75 U.S. quarts). CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be operated if the washer reservoir is empty. This can dam-age the washer fluid pump.

Transmission lubricant in the manual transmis- sion should be checked at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/90 (API GL-4) in the manual transmission. Manual Transmission Oil Capacity The oil capacity of the manual transmission is ; Gasoline or Diesel (2.9 CRDi) : 3.2 liters (3.38 U.S. quarts) Diesel (2.5 TCI) : 2.5 liters (2.64 U.S. quarts)
G080A02A-AAT WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu- mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re- placement parts or their equivalent. CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of thewiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact
with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.

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.
G110A02HP-AAT
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. NOTE: Automatic transmission fluid is basically a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It is normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace based up on the chang- ing color. You must replace the automatic transmis-sion fluid in accordance with intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section 5.
G110B02HP-GAT Recommended FluidYour Hyundai automatic transmission is spe- cially designed to operate with MOBIL DEXRON- II. Damage caused by a nonspecified
fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limitedwarranty.
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 Level
G100B01HP
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.
