WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid level
1. Open the cover.
2. Pull the gauge out and check the level. The level should be between H and L.
3. If it is near of at L, add enough washer fluid to bring the level to H. Do not
overfill.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is
not available. However, use washer sol-
vent with antifreeze characteristics in
cold climates to prevent freezing. Check the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking brake by
counting the number of “clicks’’ heardwhilst fully applying it from the released
position. Also, the parking brake alone
should securely hold the vehicle on a fair-
ly steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, have the parking
brake adjusted by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
Stroke : 6 “clicks’’ at a force of
44 lbs (20 kg, 196 N).

WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
✽✽ NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windscreen difficult to clean.
Contamination of either the windscreen
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
screen wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents onor near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual- ly.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc- tion and failure.
