A translucent coolant reservoir tank is
in the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should
be kept between the "L" and "F" marks when measured while the engine iswarm and idling.
The cooling system is a closed sys-
tem and normally the loss of coolant should be very slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level could indi-cate leakage. If this occurs, have the system
checked at an authorized HYUNDAIdealer as soon as possible. If the level should drop below the "L"
level on the reservoir tank, add cool- ant.
Also, if the reservoir tank is com-
pletely empty, remove the radiatorcap and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
!WARNING:
Do not open the reservoir tank lid
or radiator cap while the engine is hot. The coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant es-caping could cause severe burns. G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi-tional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling sys- tem must be maintained with the cor-rect concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion. Never allow the concentration ofantifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to the cooling system may result. Forproper concentration when adding or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.

Antifreezesolution G050C01A-GAT To Check the Coolant Level The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on thereservoir when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between"L" and "F". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level dropsagain, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the rea- son.

17CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
I100A02P-GAT Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The brake fluid level must be be- tween the "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads but it does not indicate any abnormality. If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short time, it indicates leaks from the brake system. In such a case,have your vehicle checked by an au- thorized HYUNDAI dealer. Use SAE J1703 (or DOT3 or DOT 4) or equivalent type brake fluid.
CAUTION:
Be sure to install the climate control air filter in the direction of the arrow sign. Otherwise, it may cause noise or deterioration.

23TAIL GATE WINDOW WASHER FLUID
I140A02P-GAT (Minibus/Van) (If installed) After opening the cover of quarter trim panel which is located on the left side of quarter trim, check the fluid level. If the fluid level is low, refill the washerfluid. HSRFL140CHECKING THE FREEPLAY
G150A01A-GAT Steering Wheel To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth. Usevery light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance that mark the limits of the freeplay. If thefreeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. 30 mm (1.18 in.)
G160A01A-GAT Clutch Pedal With the engine off, press lightly on the clutch pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedal freeplay. The freeplay should be withinthe limits specified in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or re-paired if necessary. 6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
