G050D01HR
G050D01HR-GAT To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenance schedule in Section 5.
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the fin-ish of your car. If you spill enginecoolant on the car, wash it off thor- oughly with clean water.
!
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and lift up the front passenger's seat. (Refer to "To in- spect the Engine Compartment Un- der the Front Passenger's Seat" onpage 1-13). 2. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it,until it stops. This relieves any pres-sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counter-clockwise.
WARNING:
Remove the radiator cap when the radiator is cool. 3. Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow all the engine coolant to drain from the cooling system, then securely close the drain cock.
4. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then,following the manufacturer's direc-tions on the engine coolant contain- er, add the appropriate quantity of coolant to the radiator.
5. Fill the radiator with clean demineral- ized or distilled water. Continue toadd clean demineralized or distilledwater in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.

Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler plug by turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use a suitable tool to feel inside the
hole. The oil level should be within 14mm from its bottom edge. If it is not, check for leaks before adding oil. Torefill the rear axle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tightensecurely with the wrench.
NOTE: It is recommended that the rear axle oil should be checked by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT
G120B01A-AAT Checking the Brake Fluid Level
! 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 inter-vals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance 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 dam- age your vehicle's paint if spilledon it and not removed immediately.
G120C02A-AAT Recommended Brake Fluid Use only hydraulic brake fluid con- forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica-tions in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on the con- tainer. G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level

G120E01HR-GAT 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 sealedcontainer. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will pre-vent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake system and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, pull up the cover, wipe away any dirt, and open the fluidreservoir cap. Slowly pour the recom- mended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on thereservoir and tighten.
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". Do not overfill.

AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checkedperiodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These can interfere with maximum cooling effi-ciency. When removing such accumu- lations, brush or hose them away care- fully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
