Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is
specially designed to operate with HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIA- MOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP III orother brands approved by Hundai Motor Co,. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered byyour new vehicle limited warranty. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is a red in
color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judge the needto replace based upon the changing color.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance withintervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section5.
!WARNING:
It is always better to check the
transaxle oil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great cautionto avoid burning yourself on hot engine or exhaust parts.

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the
power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re-placed if there is severe surface crack- ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora- tion of the hose could cause prema-ture failure.
To check the power steering fluid level,
be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from the power
steering pump may be heard im- mediately after the engine is startedin extremely cold conditions (be- low - 20°C). In this case, if the noise stops during warm up, thereis no abnormal function in the sys- tem. This is due to a power steer- ing fluid characteristic in extremelycold conditions. Recommended Fluid:
Use PSF-3 type fluidNOTE: Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is empty. If the fuel filter warning lamp illumi-
nates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as described.
