keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.

The fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 6.1 liters (1.6 DOHC)/6.7 liters (1.8 DOHC).

24CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check tomake certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid res-ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and re-paired immediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.

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 DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain openany longer than required. This will prevent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys-tem and cause improper opera- tion. 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. HFC5005
