G110A02E-AAT CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC) Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is basi- cally a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns dark- ish red gradually. It is normal condi-tion and you should not judge the need to replace based upon the changing color.You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenance schedule in section 5. G110B04A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate withHyundai Genuine ATF SP-III, DIA- MOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved by Hyundai MotorCo., Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.G110C01TB-GAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 6.1 liters.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should bechecked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot.Exercise great care not to burn your- self during this procedure.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temper-ature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.!

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
HTB164 3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the
“HOT” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the speci- fied fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from thedrain 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 above step 2.
The automatic transaxle fluid levelshould be checked regularly. Keep the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake applied and check thefluid level according to the following procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N(neutral)
position and confirm the engine is running at idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently [fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)], for exampleby 10 minutes usual driving, move the shift lever through all positions then place the shift lever in N(neutral)or P(park) position.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 6- 17
WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subjected to highpressure even after the engine has been switched off. The fuel jet pro- duced by fuel leaks may cause seri-ous injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pacemakers should not move closer than 30cm tothe ECU or wiring harness within the engine room with the engine run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con- siderable magnetic fields.

G120A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BRAKES G120B01A-AATChecking the Brake Fluid Level
!
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is sug- gested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer.The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those inter- vals specified in the vehicle mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. WARNING:
Use caution when handling brakefluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also dam- age your vehicle's paint if spilledon it and not removed immediately.!
G120C02A-AAT Recommended Brake Fluid Use only hydraulic brake fluid con- forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica- tions in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on the con-tainer.

G140A01A-AAT AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt,dead insects, leaves, etc. These can interfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accumu-lations, brush or hose them away care- fully to avoid bending the cooling fans. G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at a
fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air condi-tioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
! CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
G120E02TB-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets intoyour eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluidcan or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will pre- vent entry of dirt and moisture whichcan damage the brake system and cause improper operation.
!
To add brake fluid;
1) If it is necessary, remove the air cleaner cover.
2) Wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap.
3) Slowly pour the recommended fluid
into the reservoir using by a funnel. Do not overfill. Before using, check the condition of the funnel to prevent a mixture of a foreign substance.
4) Carefully replace the cap on the res- ervoir and tighten.
G120D02A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
HTB166
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of thereservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill. NOTE: If the level is below the "MIN" mark, it should be changed by an autho-rized Hyundai dealer.

G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air condition-ing should be run for at least 10 min- utes each week. This is particularly important during cool weather whenthe air conditioning system is not oth- erwise in use. G140D01TB-GAT Checking the Compressor Drive Belt

When the air conditioning is being used regularly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month.To check the drive belt tension, press down on the belt halfway between the engine crankshaft and compressorpulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt anymore than 8.0 mm (1.1L: 5~ 5.5mm). If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm(0.315 in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. HTB219

CAUTION:
Be sure to install the climate control air filter in the direction of the arrow sign. Unless, it may cause noise ordeterioration. G150A01A-GAT CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREE-PLAY To check the steering wheel free-play, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move thesteering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance thatmark the limits of the free-play. If the freeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealerand adjusted or repaired if necessary.
