G110D03A-DAT To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level
The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked regularly. Keep the vehicle on level ground with the hand 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 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, move the shift lever through all positionsthen place the shift lever in N(neutral) or P(park) position.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, ex- haust system etc., are very hot. Exer-cise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120B01A-AAT Checking 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 dam-age your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G120A01A-AAT
!
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is sug- gested that they be checked andinspected 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.
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.
G110D03MC
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine 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 tem-perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
G120E02A-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open anylonger than required. This will pre- vent 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 reservoircap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten. G130A01A-DAT (If Installed) To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when per- forming other under bonnet services. The system should be checked forleakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is between the "MAX" and"MIN" level markings on the fluid reser- voir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired im- mediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.
G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
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 the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bringit up to "MAX". Do not overfill.
