POWER STEERING FLUID
G090100ABH
Checking the power steering fluid
level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level in the power steering reservoir
periodically. The fluid should be between
MAX and MIN marks on the side of the
gauge at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thor-
oughly clean the area around the reservoir
cap to prevent power steering fluid contam-
ination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX level.
In the event the power steering system
requires frequent addition of fluid, the vehi-
cle should be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only the specified power steeringfluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricantsor capacities" in section 8.)
G090200AEN
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 pump, do not operate thevehicle for prolonged periods witha low power steering fluid 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 steeringsystem.
The use of the non-specified fluid could reduce the effectiveness ofthe power steering system andcause damage to it.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
I040000BBH-EU
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.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy 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.

3If the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.
