mission is;
WARNING:
It is always better to check the trans-
mission oil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hotengine or exhaust parts.

NOTE: It is recommended that the manual transaxle fluid should be checkedby an authorized Hyundai dealer.
CHECKING THE TRANSMIS- SION FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
!
G110B02HP-GAT
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. G110C03HP-GAT
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.
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 ba- sically a red color. As drivingdistance 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 accordance with intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in sec-tion 5.

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
3. If the transmission fluid level is low,
use a funnel to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill. G110D04HP
!!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 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subjectedto high pressure even after the en- gine has been switched off. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may causeserious injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pacemakers should not move closer than 30cmto the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room with the engine running, since the high currents inthe Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
