POWER STEERING FLUID
G090100AEN
Checking the power steering fluid
level
With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering reser-
voir periodically. The fluid should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir at the normal tem-
perature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thor- oughly clean the area around the reser-
voir cap to prevent power steering fluidcontamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.
✽✽ NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the reservoir. If thefluid is cold, check that it is in the"COLD" range.
In the event the power steering system requires frequent addition of fluid, the
vehicle should be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only the specified power steering fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricants or capacities" in section 9.)
G090200AEN
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks, dam-
age and twists in the power steering
hose before driving.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power steering pump, do not operate thevehicle for prolonged periods
with a low power steering fluidlevel.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into the reser-voir.
Too little fluid can result in increased steering effort and/ornoise from the power steering
system.
The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effectiveness ofthe power steering system and cause damage to it.OTQ077007

✽✽NOTICE
“C” (COLD) range is for reference only
and should NOT be used to determinetransmission fluid level. ✽
✽
NOTICE
New automatic transmission fluid
should be red. The red dye is added sothe assembly plant can identify it asautomatic transmission fluid and distin-
guish it from engine oil or antifreeze.
The red dye, which is not an indicator of
fluid quality, is not permanent. As thevehicle is driven, the automatic trans-
mission fluid will begin to look darker.
The color may eventually appear light
brown. Therefore, have an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer change the automatictransmission fluid according to theScheduled Maintenance at the begin-ning of this section.
Use only the specified automatic trans-
mission fluid. (Refer to “Recommended
lubricants and capacities” in section 9.) G100200AFD Changing the automatic transmis- sion fluid
Have automatic transmission fluid
changed by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer according to the MaintenanceSchedule at the beginning of this section.
WARNING - Transmission fluid
The transmission fluid level should
be checked when the engine is at
normal operating temperature. This
means that the engine, radiator,
radiator hose and exhaust system
etc., are very hot. Exercise great
care not to burn yourself during
this procedure.
WARNING - Parking brake
To avoid sudden movement of the
vehicle, apply parking brake and
depress the brake pedal before
moving the shift lever.
CAUTION
Low fluid level causes transmis- sion slippage. Overfilling cancause foaming, loss of fluid and transmission malfunction.
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission mal-function and failure.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
I040000CTQ
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct
lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
* 1
Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on page 9-6.
* 2
Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econo my by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
