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.
G110C01E-GAT
Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 6.1 liters (1.6 DOHC)/7.8 liters (1.8/2.0 DOHC). 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", "3" (1.8/2.0 DOHC), "2", "L" -- and then return to"N" or "P". With the engine still idling:
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. G110D01E
!WARNING:
The transaxle 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.
! CAUTION:
Use of aftermarket ATF additives
may cause damage to the auto- matic transaxle. Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or otherbrands approved by Hyundai Mo- tor Co., If you are having your vehicle serviced at a facility otherthan a Hyundai dealer, verify that the correct ATF is used for your vehicle.
