G110B05A-AATRecommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is spe-
cially designed to operate with HYUNDAI
GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III,
SK ATF SP III or other brands meeting the
SP III specification approved by Hyundai
Motor Co.. Damage caused by a
nonspecified fluid is not covered by your
new vehicle limited warranty.
CAUTION:
Use of aftermarket ATF additives may
cause damage to the automatic
transaxle.
Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III,
DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or
other brands meeting the SP III specifi-
cation approved by Hyundai Motor Co..
If you are having your vehicle serviced
at a facility other than a Hyundai dealer,
verify that the correct ATF is used for
your vehicle.
G110D02O-AATTo Check the Transaxle Fluid LevelPark the car on level ground with the park-
ing brake engaged. When the transaxle
fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid
should be at normal operating tempera-
ture and the engine idling.
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"
— 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.

G110C01TG-AATTransaxle Fluid CapacityThe fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 11.52 U.S. quarts (10.9 liters).
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal
operating temperature. This means that
the engine, radiator, radiator hose, ex-
haust system etc., are very hot. Exer-
cise great care not to burn yourself dur-
ing this procedure.

CHECKING THE BRAKES!
G120B01A-AATChecking the Brake Fluid Level
WARNING:Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if it gets into
your eyes. It will also damage your
vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not
removed immediately.
!
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
G120A01A-AAT
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the
safe operation of the car, it is suggested
that they be checked and inspected by
your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should
be checked and inspected for wear at
those intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in Section 5.
!
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a
funnel to add transaxle fluid through the
dipstick tube until the level reaches the
"HOT" range. Do not overfill. 2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it
clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as 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.
