G110D02CM-DAT
To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level Keep the vehicle on level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the follow- ing 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.
The automatic transaxle fluid levelshould be checked regularly.
OCM055006 3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the
“75°C” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the specified fluid from the fill hole. Ifthe fluid level is higher, drain the fluid 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 the “25°C”line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2.
Fluid level should be within 75°C range

!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor-mal condition.
CHECKING THE BRAKES
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 intervalsspecified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.

Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can
damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluidbottle or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will avoid entry of dirt and moisturewhich can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the recommendedfluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser- voir and tighten.
G120D01CM-AAT
To Check the Fluid Level It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads wear.
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".
OCM055014R
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications inyour braking system. Follow the in- structions printed on the container.

WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will alsodamage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed im- mediately.
