Automatic transmission fluid It is recommended that the automatic
transmission fluid should be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
In severe conditions, the fluid should be
changed at an authorized HYUNDAIdealer in accordance to the scheduledmaintenance at the beginning of this
chapter. Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off,
check for excessive free-play in the
steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or damage.
Check the dust boots and ball joints for
deterioration, cracks, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for leakage and damage. Replace
any damaged or leaking parts immedi-
ately. Inspect the power steering belt (or
drive belt) for evidence of cuts, cracks,
excessive wear, oiliness and proper ten-
sion. Replace or adjust it if necessary.Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts and, if nec-
essary, repack the grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant (if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and con-
nections for leakage and damage.
Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid
leakage. Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-function and failure.
Use only specified automatic trans-mission fluid. (Refer to
“Recommended lubricants andcapacities” in section 8.)

POWER STEERING FLUID
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 gauge at the normal tempera-
ture. 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.
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 8.)
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 water pump unit, do not
operate the vehicle for prolonged periods with a low power steeringfluid level.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful that dirt does not get into the tank.
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 andcause damage to it.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
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 the next page.
* 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.

If the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.
