1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as faras 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. HTG5012
G110C01TG-GAT
Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 10.9 liters.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is atnormal operating temperature. Thismeans that the engine, radiator, radiator hose, exhaust system, etc., are very hot. Exercise great carenot to burn yourself during this procedure. G110D02L-AAT
To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the
parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normaloperating temperature and the en- gine idling.
While the engine is idling, apply the
brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its otherpositions — "R", "N", "D" — and then return to "N" or "P". With the engine still idling:

G110D02NF
Fluid level should be within "HOT"
range WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fanso that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, thefan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
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.
CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT G120B01A-AAT
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
! CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundaidealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in thevehicle 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 ifspilled on it and not removed im- mediately.

To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reser-voir cap. Slowly pour the recom- mended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the capon the reservoir and tighten.G120E02A-AAT
Adding Brake Fluid
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 fluidcan or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will prevent entry of dirt and moisturewhich can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper opera- tion. HTG5015
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con-forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica- tions in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on the con-tainer. G120D01A-AAT
To Check the Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir 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 belowthe "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill.
