G080N01P-GAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.
G080O01P-GAT
o Brake Fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming SAE J1703.
G080P01P-GAT
o Rear Brake Drums and
Linings
Check for scoring, burning, leaking
fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. G080Q01P-GAT
o Brake Pads, Calipers and
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. G080R01P-GAT
o Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system such as parking brake lever, cables, and so on. For detailed service procedures,refer to the Shop Manual.
G080S01P-GAT
o Exhaust Pipe Connections,
Muffler and Suspension Bolts
Check the exhaust pipe, muffler, and
suspension connections for loosenessor damage.
G080L01P-GAT
o Manual Transmission Oil Check manual transmission oil ac- cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. G080M04P-GAT
o Automatic Transmission Fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after engine and transmission are at normal operatingtemperature. Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid level with the en- gine running and the transmission inneutral, with the parking brake properly applied. Use MOBIL DEXRON-II, DIA- MOND ATF SP-I or JWS 3309 whenadding or changing fluid.

!
On a vehicle with the brake fluid warn- ing lamp, the brake fluid level is moni-tored by a float. When the brake fluid level falls to below the "MIN" mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.
WARNING:
o Use only the specified brake fluid. Also, the additives in differentbrands may result in a chemical reaction when mixed together, so avoid mixing different brands ifpossible.
o Use extreme caution in filling
the brake fluid because it is toxicand corrosive, and it can harm your eyes and damage painted surface. If the fluid gets in youreyes, flush your eyes with clean water.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
I120A02P-GAT (If installed) Transmission fluid in the automatic transmission should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec-tion 6. NOTE: Automatic transmission fluid is a red color. As driving distance in- creases, the fluid color turns dark-ish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace basedupon the changing color.You must replace the automatictransmission fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in sec-tion 6.CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
I110A01P-GAT (If installed) In the case of vehicles with the hy- draulic operating clutch, the reservoir for the clutch fluid also serves as the reservoir for the brake fluid. See theparagraph on the brake fluid.

3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the
“HOT” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add thespecified fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition[fluid temperature 20~30°C(68~86°F)], add the fluid to the “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid level according to the abovestep 2. Full mark
I120D04P-GAT
To Check the transmission Fluid Level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the follow- ing procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N(neutral) position and confirm the engine is running at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently [fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)], for example by 10 minutes usual driving, movethe shift lever through all positions then place the shift lever in N(neutral) or P(park) position. D060A01P

I120B04P-GAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transmission is specially designed to operate with MOBIL DEXRON-II, DIAMOND ATF SP-I or JWS 3309 type fluid. I120C02P-GAT Automatic transmission fluid capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission will be found on page9-5.
WARNING:
The transmission fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Thismeans that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burnyourself during this procedure.
