CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
G120E02A-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open anylonger 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, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoircap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten. G130A01A-DAT (If Installed) To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when per- forming other under bonnet services. The system should be checked forleakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is between the "MAX" and"MIN" level markings on the fluid reser- voir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired im- mediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.
G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
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.

CHECKING THE BATTERY
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flushthe affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medi- cal assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven toget medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat araw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get medical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei- ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to reduce the risk of injury:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.

G210B01Y-AAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery postsor terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery ter-minals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:
Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery.Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery.Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells andmay explode if ignited. Keep batteries out of the reach of children becausebatteries contain highly cor- rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con-tact your skin, eyes, cloth- ing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least15 minutes and get immedi- ate medical attention. If pos- sible, continue to applywater with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is re- ceived.If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area.If you feel a pain or a burn- ing sensation, get medical attention immediately.Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery.Always provide ventilation when working in an en- closed space.An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and humanhealth.

G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on automatically if the engine coolanttemperature is high. G220C01TB-GAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comeson automatically, being controlled by
the engine ECU.
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 coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant temper- ature decreases the fan will automat- ically shut off. This is a normal con-dition. The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level,be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX"and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
3CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-DAT
(If Installed)
The catalytic converter is part of the
exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to remove certain engineemission products from the engine's exhaust. It looks something like a muffler and is located underneath thecar in the exhaust system. H020B02A-DAT
About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high temperatures. As a re- sult, the introduction of large amountsof unburned petrol may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. This can be avoided by observing the fol-lowing:
H020A01MCCatalytic Converter!WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good con- dition. Extremely high converter temperatures can result from im-proper operation of the electrical, ignition or fuel injection systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, takeyour car to your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. If you run out of petrol, it could cause the engine to misfire and result in excessive loading ofthe catalytic converter. o Avoid idling the engine for peri-
ods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be ei- ther pushed or pulled to get itstarted. This can cause the cata-lytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper, leaves or rags. As these materials couldcome in contact with the catalytic converter and could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic con- verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the engineis running as it is very hot and could result in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of as-sistance.
o Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle over any combustible ma- terial such as grass, paper, leavesor rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.
