WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYSD120A02A-AATInformation about the key of immobilizer
system can be found on page 1-3.
!
CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at
speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h)
and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to operate
the steering and brakes. For emergency towing when no commer-
cial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow
cable, chain or strap to the towing hook
under the front/rear of your car. Do not
attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner
on any unpaved surface. This could result
in serious damage to your car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing, be
sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key
is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the
"ON" position (with the engine running). A
driver must be in the towed car to steer it
and operate the brakes.
NOTE:Before towing, check the level of the
automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below
the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add
fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing
dolly must be used.

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. Confirm that the fluid level is in “HOT”
range on the level gauge. If the fluid
level is lower, add the specified 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 con-
dition (fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F)) add the fluid to “COLD” line
and then recheck the fluid level accord-
ing to the above step 2.
