CHECKING THE BRAKES!
G120B01A-AATChecking 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 damage 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 suggested
that they be checked and inspected by
your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should
be checked and inspected for wear at
those intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in Section 5.
!
G120C02A-AATRecommended Brake FluidUse only hydraulic brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your
braking system. Follow the instructions
printed on the container.
G120D01CM-AATTo Check the Fluid Level
OCM055014
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear.
The 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".
