!Open the bonnet and remove the transaxle dipstick, remembering that care must be exercised to prevent in-jury occurring through contact with hot or rotating parts of the engine. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.
Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully andpromptly remove it again. The fluidlevel should be between the upper and lower marks. Fluid need only be added if the level is at or below the lower markand must never be increased above the higher mark. If additional fluid is re- quired, this should be poured into thetransmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel.
G110D03A
G110D04A
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres-sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than 12 in.(30 cm) closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable magnetic fields.

18BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING
SG120D1-E Brake 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, fluid should be added hav- ing carefully cleaned the area surround- ing the reservoir cap to ensure that dirtis not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as thefriction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
! CAUTION:
The automatic transaxle unit is a precision engineered assembly and correct operation is dependant upon the exclusion of dirt and lint from theunit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping the dipstick and that thearea around the dipstick is thor- oughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid.
Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transaxle unit is 6.1 litres. SG120A1-E
SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may beused in the braking system. Care should be taken to observe the instructions and precautions printed upon the con-tainer.! CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking sys- tem is essential to the safe operationof the vehicle and therefore, any main- tenance operations other than those listed below should be entrusted to aHyundai dealer.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
SG140C2-E Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air condi-tioning system inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
! CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may damage thecompressor.
SG140A1-E Condenser Ensure that the condenser is periodi- cally inspected and that accumulationsof dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure that the efficiency of the system is not impaired. Care mustbe exercised to ensure that the con- denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.
SG140B1-E Compressor Drive Belt
0.315 in. (8mm)
The air conditioning compressor drive belt should be checked to ensure free-dom from damage or excessive wear and correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt deflects by about0.3 inches (8 mm) when a force of 98 N is applied to the belt halfway between the compressor and crankshaft pul-leys. Adjustment of the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai dealer.

You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down onthe brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490 N (50 Kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedalclearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat.If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustra- tion, have it inspected by your Hyundaidealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary. 1.78 in. (45.1 mm)
SG170A1-E BRAKE PEDAL The brake pedal freeplay should be checked with the engine turned off. Thepedal to floor clearance should be checked with the engine running and a load of 490 N applied to the pedal. Ifeither value is incorrect, the necessary adjustment should be performed by a Hyundai dealer. 0.12 ~ 0.31 in. (3 ~ 8 mm)
The various engine drive belts must be checked for condition, tension and free-dom from damage and excessive wear. The tension of a new belt must be checked after thirty minutes runningfollowing fitment of the new belt to allow for the initial belt stretch.

FUSIBLE LINKS
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should a fusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of thesame rating. The use of higher rated links or other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.
G190B01TB-GAT (Diesel Engine)
At the scheduled maintenance inspec- tion, belts should be examined forcracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces- sary.Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of theengine. SG200A1-E The fusible link prevents damage to the wiring harness in the event of an elec-trical system malfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicative of a serious overload condition having occurred andtherefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai dealer before a replacement link is fitted.

27REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTERPOWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G300A02B-GAT (DIESEL ENGINE)
If the fuel filter warning light illuminates during driving, it indicates that waterhas accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as described below.
SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration andleakage at each service.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremelycold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system.This is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold con- ditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluid meet- ing the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.
SG230A1-E The power steering fluid level should be checked daily.To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the powersteering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
