While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and
move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of
its other positions -- "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" -- and
then return to "N" or "P". With the engine still
idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands,
hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then
remove it again. Now check the fluid level on
the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range
on the dipstick.
G110D03A G110D02A-AAT
To Check the Transaxle Fluid LevelPark the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is
checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normal
operating temperature and the engine idling.

!
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel
to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick
tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range.
Do not overfill.
G110D04A
Fluid level should be within
"HOT" rangeWARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by the engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes op-
erate even when the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working near the
blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not
injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine
coolant temperature decreases, the fan will
automatically shut off. This is a normal con-
dition.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
!
!
G120A01A-AAT
G120B01A-AATChecking the Brake Fluid LevelCAUTION:Because brakes are essential to the safe
operation of the car, it is suggested that they
be checked and inspected by your Hyundai
dealer. The brakes should be checked and
inspected for wear at those intervals speci-
fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in
Section 5.
!
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if it gets into your
eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint
if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G120D01A-AATTo Check the Fluid Level
G120E02A-AATAdding Brake Fluid
G120C02A-AATRecommended Brake FluidUse only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking
system. Follow the instructions printed on the
container.
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should
be checked periodically. The level should be
between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the
side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below
the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up
to "MAX". Do not overfill.
HLC5035
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage
your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a
sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can
or reservoir to remain open any longer than
required. This will avoid entry of dirt and
moisture which can damage the brake sys-
tem and cause improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then
unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the
recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not
overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-
voir and tighten.

CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
!
G130B02A-AATTo Replace the FluidRecommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specification should be used. The
reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or moisture.NOTE:Do not allow any other liquids to contami-
nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if you get it in your
eyes. It will also damage your vehicles paint
if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G130A01A-AATTo Check the Clutch FluidThe clutch fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other un-
der hood services. The system should be
checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level
is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings
on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss
indicates a leak in the clutch system which
should be inspected and repaired immediately.
Consult your Hyundai dealer.
HLC5036
AIR CONDITIONER CAREG140A01A-AATKeeping the Condenser CleanThe air conditioner condenser (and engine ra-
diator) should be checked periodically for accu-
mulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These
can interfere with maximum cooling efficiency.
When removing such accumulations, brush or
hose them away carefully to avoid bending the
cooling fans.
