CHECKING THE BRAKES!
G120A01A-AAT
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 in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer. The
brakes should be checked and in-
spected for wear at those intervals
specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5.
!
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 the
engine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the en-
gine is not running. Use extreme cau-
tion 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 automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
G120D01A-AATTo Check the Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir
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, care-
fully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do
not overfill.
