To Check the Manual transmis- sion Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler plug by turningit counterclockwise and remove itwith your fingers. G100B01L2. Use your finger to feel inside the
hole. The oil level should be at itsbottom edge. If it is not, check for leaks before adding oil. To refill the transmission or bring the oil levelup,add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with your fingers andthen tighten securely with the wrench.

Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transmission
is specially designed to operate with MOBIL DEXRON-II. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not coveredby your new vehicle limited warranty.

Transmission Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic
transmission is;
WARNING:
The transmission fluid level should
be checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator,exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure. G110D02HP-GAT
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 should be atnormal operating temperature and the engine idling.
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 theengine still idling:
G110A02HP-AAT Transmission fluid in the automatic
transmission should be checked at those intervals specified in the ve-hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
NOTE: Automatic transmission fluid is
basically a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It is normal condition and you shouldnot judge the need to replace based up on the changing color.
You must replace the automatic
transmission fluid in accordancewith intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in sec-tion 5.

1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transmission dipstick,wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstickas 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. HHP5009
G110D01HP
G110D02HP Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
3. If the transmission fluid level is
low, use a funnel to add transmis- sion fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill. G110D04HP

22CHECKING THE BRAKES
!
G120A01A-AAT
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it issuggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should bechecked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule inSection 5.!!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 fan, sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. 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 aresubjected to high pressure even after the engine has been switched off. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pacemakers should notmove closer than 30cm to the ECU or wiring harness within the en- gine room with the engine run-ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level
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 im-mediately.
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con-
forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica-tions in your braking system. Followthe 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 below the"MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill. HHP5015
!
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. Donot overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reservoir and tighten.

24AIR CONDITIONING CARECHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
!
G130A01A-AAT
To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked whenperforming other under hood services. 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. G130B02A-AAT
To Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conform-
ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specificationshould be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid con-tamination from foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to
contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake
fluid. It can damage your vision ifyou get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint if spilled on it and not removed im-mediately.

Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at
fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maxi- mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
!
G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the
seals in the system, the air condition- ing should be run for at least 10 minutes each week. This is particu- larly important during cool weatherwhen the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use. G140D01HP-GAT
Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
When the air conditioning is being used regularly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month.To check the drive belt tension, pressdown on the belt halfway between theengine crankshaft and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 8.0 mm. If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflectionshould be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315 inches). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.

26CHANGING THE AIR CONDI- TIONER FILTER
B145A03HP-GAT
(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)(If Installed)
The air conditioner filter is located in
front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box. It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and take out the damper strap from the hole. 2. Lower the glove box completely by
pushing the both sides of the glove box inward.
