6ZF070F1-A o Brake hoses and lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. A6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluid & Clutch 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 to DOT 3 or DOT 4.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/
parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,broken parts, and excessive wear. In- spect the parking brake system in-cluding the parking brake lever and cables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual. 6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and ro-
tors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage.
6ZF070K1-E
o Exhaust pipe and silencer
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
silencer and hangers for cracks, dete-rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaustgas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.
6ZF070L1-A
o Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.
F070E05A-EAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"range of the dipstick, after the engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP- III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved byHyundai Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid. Refer to the chapter 6.

SG050C1-E Engine Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be
observed through the side of the plas- tic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on aregular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai authorised re- pairer. SG050D1-E To Change the Engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
3. With the heater temperature controlset to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radia- tor drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en- suring that this is not over tight-ened. G050D03E
CAUTION:
Care should be taken to ensure that
coolant is not allowed to spill ontothe paintwork since the finish maybecome damaged. If coolant spill- age occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
!
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine al- lowed to cool. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERA- TION WHILST THE ENGINE IS HOT SINCE BURNING OR SCALD-ING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced coolant andposition this under the radiator drain tap.

!
NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is red in colour. As driving distance in-creases, the fluid colour turns dark- ish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judgethe need to replace based upon the changing colour. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehicle maintenances schedule in section 5.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level must bechecked with the engine running and at normal operating tempera- ture and therefore care must be ex-ercised to prevent injury occurring through contact with rotating or hot parts of the engine. G110D03L-GAT
Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground
with the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the following procedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neu- tral) 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, shiftthe selector lever through all posi- tions then place the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position.

HGK5008
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
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 thefluid 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 “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2.
