Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con- forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica- tions in your braking system. Followthe instructions printed on the con- tainer. G120D01A-AAT
To Check the 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, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill. HHP5015

Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain openany longer than required. This will prevent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys-tem and cause improper opera- tion.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any
dirt, then unscrew the fluid reservoircap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill.Carefully replace the cap on the reser- voir and tighten.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
!
G130A01A-AAT
To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master
cylinder should be checked when performing other under hood services. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check tomake certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid res-ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and re-paired immediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer. G130B02A-AAT
To Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification shouldbe used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contaminationfrom foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to
contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake
fluid. It can damage your vision ifyou get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint if spilled on it and not removed im-mediately.
