FILLING THE WASHER
RESERVOIRG090A01CM-AATThe washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to
the front and rear washer systems.
A good quality washer fluid should be
used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid
level should be checked more frequently
during inclement weather or whenever the
washer system is in more frequent use.
CAUTION:
o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant)
should not be used in the washer sys-
tem because it will damage the car's
finish.
o The washer should not be operated if
the washer reservoir is empty. This
can damage the washer fluid pump.
!!
WARNING:
o Windshield washer fluid agents con-
tain some amounts of alcohol and can
be flammable under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks or flame
to contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Damage to
the vehicle or its occupants could
occur.
o Windshield washer fluid is poisonous
to humans and animals. Do not drink
windshield washer fluid. Serious in-
jury or death could occur.

be checked regularly.
CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE
FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
!
WARNING:
The transaxle 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 proce-
dure.
!
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.
G110A01MC-AATTransaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle
should be checked at those intervals speci-
fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule
in Section 5.NOTE:Automatic transaxle fluid is basically a
red color. As driving distance increases,
the fluid color turns darkish red gradu-
ally. It is a normal condition and you
should not judge the need to replace
based upon the changing color.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance with inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in section 5.

AIR CONDITIONING CARE
!
G140A01A-AATKeeping the Condenser CleanThe air conditioning condenser (and en-
gine radiator) should be checked periodi-
cally for accumulation of dirt, dead insects,
leaves, etc. These can interfere with maxi-
mum cooling efficiency. When removing
such accumulations, brush or hose them
away carefully to avoid bending the cool-
ing fins.
G140C01A-AATLubricationTo lubricate the compressor and the seals
in the system, the air conditioning should
be run for at least 10 minutes each week.
This is particularly important during cool
weather when the air conditioning system
is not otherwise in use.G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioning
Operation1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle
for several minutes with the air condi-
tioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents
is not cold, have the air conditioning
system inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system for
extended periods of time with a low re-
frigerant level may damage the com-
pressor.
!
G120E02A-AATAdding Brake Fluid
WARNING:Handle brake fluid carefully. It can dam-
age your vision if it gets into your eyes.
Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification
fluid from a sealed container. Do not
allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain
open any longer than required. This will
prevent entry of dirt and moisture which
can damage the brake system and cause
improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt
then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly
pour the recommended fluid into the res-
ervoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the
cap on the reservoir and tighten.
