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.
