6-10 1. To check the transmission lubricant level,
the vehicle should be placed on level ground and the level plug removed with a suitablespanner.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin to drip from the plug orifice. In this case theplug should be replaced. If the level is incorrect, lubricant should be added until it begins to drip from the plugorifice at which time the plug should bereplaced.
To Check the Transmission Oil Level
SSA6100B
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise 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. Torefill the transmission or bring the oil level

MANUAL TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT
The transmission lubricant should be checkedand/or changed at intervals specified in themaintenance schedule. Recommended Lubricant Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/90 (API GL-4). CAUTION: The transmission lubricant level should onlybe checked when the engine is cold to pre-lude the possibility of personal injury bycontact with hot components.

WINDSCREEN WASHER RESERVOIR
REPLENISHMENT The level of windscreen washer fluid available
should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of thereservoir. When the fluid is to be replenished,only a proprietary screen wash additive shouldbe used and in the concentration recommendedby the manufacturer. The windscreen washerreservoir has a total capacity of 4.5 litres.
CAUTION: Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used
in the windscreen washer system since dam- age to the paintwork may result.
Undiluted windscreen washer additive must
not be allowed to come into contact with thepaintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af-fected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for more than 15 seconds continuously or when thereservoir is empty since damage to thewasher pump will result.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LUBRI- CANT Transmission lubricant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Basically automatic transmission fluid is red
color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It isnormal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replacing thetransmission fluid.
You must replace the automatic transmis-
sion fluid in accordance with intervals speci-fied in the vehicle maintenances schedule insection 5. Recommended Lubricant
Use only MOBIL DEXRON- II. Damage caused
by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty. Transmission Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission
is 10.5 litres (Petrol)/ 11.8 litres (Diesel). CAUTION: 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 veryhot so you should exercise great care not toburn yourself during this procedure. To Check the Transmission Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid shouldbe at normal operating temperature and theengine idling.
Whilst the engine is idling, apply the brakes and
move the gear selector level from "P" to each ofits other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" —and then return to "N" or "P". With the enginestill idling:
1. Open the bonnet, being careful to keep hands and clothing clear of any moving parts.
up, add oil slowly until it reaches the properlevel. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the bolt and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securely withthe wrench.

2. Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then remove it again. Now check the fluidlevel on the dipstick. It should be in the"HOT" range on the dipstick. G110D04HP-E

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

The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly.
To check the power steering fluid level, be sure
the ignition is "OFF", then check to make cer- tain that the power steering fluid level is be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5. The power steering hosesshould be replaced if there are severe surfacecracking, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Dete-rioration of the hoses could cause prematurefailure.
NOTE: The power steering pump may be noisy
when the engine is first started in the ex- treme cold (-4°F). This noise is not abnormaland will stop as the engine warms up. If thepower steering pump continues to be noisyafter the engine has warmed up, have itinspected by your Authorized HyundaiDealer. G230A03A-EAT POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM (FOR DIESEL ENGINE)
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as
described in the illustration if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter isreplaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a longtime.
G350A01HP
NOTE: Do not check whilst the engine is running.
Do not start when power steering fluid res- ervoir is empty. Fluid Recommendation
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the
specification of PSF-3 or ATF DEXRON 2 should be used in the power steering system.
