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.
G110D03L-AATChecking the automatic transaxle
fluid levelThe automatic transaxle fluid level should
be checked regularly.
!
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.
HTG5012
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following pro-
cedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neutral)
position and confirm the engine is run-
ning at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up suffi-
ciently (fluid temperature 70~80°C
(158~176°F)), for example by 10 min-
utes usual driving, shift the selector
lever through all positions then place
the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P
(Park) position.

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.

CHANGING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL AIR FILTERB145A01TG-AAT(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)The climate control air filter is located in the
upper portion of the blower fan.
It helps to decrease the amount of pollut-
ants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box.
2. Pull the glove box cylinder to unlock the
glove box retainer.
HTG2167 G140C01A-AAT
LubricationTo 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.
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 fans.G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioning Op-
eration1. 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.

CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the
same or lower amperage rating. Never
use a piece of wire or a higher-rated
fusible link. This could result in serious
damage and create a fire hazard. The parking brake pedal should be
checked periodically for proper stroke. If
you feel loose in the parking brake pedal
when the parking brake is engaged, have
your parking brake adjusted by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer.
CHECKING PARKING
BRAKE PEDALG185A01TG-GAT
CAUTION:
If the parking brake pedal is not adjusted
properly, the vehicle may roll backwards
when parking on a steep hill.
!
G200A01A-AATReplacing a Fusible LinkA fusible link will melt if the electrical cir-
cuits from the battery are ever overloaded,
thus preventing damage to the entire wir-
ing harness. (This could be caused by a
short in the system drawing too much cur-
rent.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai
dealer determine the cause, repair the
system and replace the fusible link. The
fusible links are located in a relay box in the
engine compartment for easy inspection.

G200B01NF-AATReplacing Accessory Fuse
G200B01TG-A
The fuse box for the lights and other elec-
trical accessories will be found on the left
side of the instrument panel. Inside the box
you will find a list showing the circuits
protected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown (open)
fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has
opened, you will see that the metal strip
inside the fuse has melted through. If you
suspect a blown fuse, follow this proce-
dure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
G200B02L
Good Open-Replace
3. Be sure to check all other fuses, even if
you find one that appears to have
opened.
G200B02NF
2. Open the fuse box and examine each
fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it
toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is
contained in the relay and fuse box of
the engine room to simplify this opera-
tion).4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a
new fuse of the same rating into place.
The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not,
have the fuse clip repaired or replaced
by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have
a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow
a fuse of the same or lower rating from
an accessory you can temporarily get
along without (the radio or cigarette
lighter, for example). Always remember
to replace the borrowed fuse.

POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01TG-AAT
G230A01TG
The power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine is
"OFF", then check to make certain that the
power steering fluid level is between the
"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the
fluid reservoir.
!
G220A01A-AAT
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.G220B01NF-GATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on
automatically if the engine coolant tem-
perature is high or whenever the air con-
ditioning is in operation.
G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure.NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after
the engine is started in extremely cold
conditions (below - 4°F). If the noise stops
during warm up, there is no abnormal
function in the system. It is due to a
power steering fluid characteristic in
extremely cold conditions.
Recommended FluidUse PSF-4 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
