3. If the transmission fluid level is low, use a
funnel to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT"range. Do not overfill.
WARNING: The electric engine cooling fan automatical-
ly switches on and off according to engine temperature. Be careful to keep away fromthe fan during this check as it may switch onat any time.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with engine
running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject tohigh pressure even after the engine stopped.The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks maycause serious injury, if it touch the body.People using pacemakers should not move
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har- ness within the engine room whilst engineis running, since the high currents in theCommon Rail system produce considerablemagnetic fields.
NOTE: Only lint free cloth should be used for wip-
ing the dipstick. The presence of lint within the transmission may cause problems withthe normal function of the transmission.

BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION: Correct operation of the braking system is essential to the safe operation of the vehicleand therefore, any maintenance operationsother than those listed below should beentrusted to a Hyundai dealer. SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in thebraking system. Care should be taken to ob-serve the instructions and precautions printedupon the container. SG120D1-E
Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir shouldbe checked periodically. The level should bebetween the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on theside of the reservoir. If the level is at or belowthe "MIN" mark, fluid should be added havingcarefully cleaned the area surrounding the res-ervoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed toenter the system. It should be borne in mindthat the brake fluid level will decrease slightlyas the friction linings of the pads and shoesbecome worn and that this is a normal condi-tion. WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an unsealed container. Thepresence of water in the braking system willcause vapour locks and increase the possi-bility of brake fade along with promoting

SSA6160A
0.24~0.51 in. (6~13 mm)
The clutch pedal freeplay must lie within the limits shown. Incorrect freeplay can result inpremature wear of the clutch linings and re-lease bearing. Excessive free-play can result ingear selection difficulties. If the freeplay is incorrect, the clutch cable should be adjusted by a Hyundai dealer. G170A01A-GAT
CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL FREEPLAY
With the engine off, press down on the brake
pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down slowly on
the brake pedal until you feel a change inresistance. This is the brake pedal freeplay.The freeplay should be within the limits speci-fied in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspect-ed by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted orrepaired if necessary.
SSA6170A
0.12 ~ 0.31 in. (3 ~ 8 mm)
To check the steering wheel free-play, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead andgently move the steering wheel back and forth.Use very light finger pressure and be sensitiveto changes in resistance that mark the limits ofthe free-play. If the free-play is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjustedor repaired if necessary.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS CAUTION:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes oper-ate even when the engine is not running. Donot touch the radiator fan until it is com-pletely stopped. As the coolant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is anormal condition.
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should automaticallycome on if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan (in front of the con-denser) should come on automatically whenev-er the air conditioner is in operation.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuricacid which is corrosive and poisonous. Hy-drogen gas is emitted from the battery whichis explosive when combined with oxygen.The following precautions must be strictlyobserved to avoid personal injury or dam-age to the vehicle.
o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushedwith copious amounts of water and medicalassistance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milk followed by an ant-acid (raw egg or milk of magnesia) must bedrunk. Vomiting should not be induced andmedical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well venti- lated areas from which naked lights or sourc-es of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unautho- rized persons are kept away from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery.

REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL ENGINE)
G300A01HP If the fuel filter warning lamp illuminates during
driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the wateras described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the fuel filter.
2. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
3. Check to be sure that the warning lamp illuminates when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and that it goes off when the engine isstarted.If in doubt, consult your nearest authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING: Be sure to carefully wipe away any water
drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited andresult in a fire.
1. Pump the hand prime pump with your hand
for one minute(about 20~30 times).
2. Turn the ignition key to the "START" posi- tion and release it 2~3 times shortly until theengine starts.
CAUTION: Do not hold the ignition key in the "START"
position for more than 15 seconds. Doing so may cause the engine and the injection pumpto damage.
