ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to
reach normal operating tempera-
ture.3. Turn the engine off and wait for a
few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
WARNING - Radiator
hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.
CAUTION - Diesel
engine
Overfilling the engine oil may
cause severe dieseling due to
churning effect. It may lead to
engine damage accompanied
with abrupt engine speed incre-
ment, combustion noise and
white smoke emission.
CAUTION
• Do not overfill the engine oil. It
may damage the engine.
• Do not spill engine oil, when
adding or changing engine oil.
If you drop the engine oil on
the engine room, wipe it off
immediately.
• When you wipe the oil level
gauge, you should wipe it with
a clean cloth. When mixed
with debris, it can cause
engine damage.

Maintenance
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F.Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine com-
ponents.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
and capacities” in section 8.)
Changing the engine oil and
filter
We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irri-
tation or cancer of the skin if
left in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods of time. Used
engine oil contains chemicals
that have caused cancer in lab-
oratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap
and warm water as soon as pos-
sible after handling used oil.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir. Before removing
the reservoir cap and adding brake/
clutch fluid, clean the area around the
reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake/clutch fluid contamination. If the
level is low, add fluid to the MAX level.
The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings. If the fluid level is excessively
low, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
✽NOTICE
Before removing the brake/clutch
filter cap, read the warning on the
cap.
WARNING -Brake/
clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it
carefully. Do not let it come in
contact with your eyes. If brake/
clutch fluid should come in con-
tact with your eyes, immediately
flush them with a large quantity
of fresh tap water. Have your
eyes examined by a doctor as
soon as possible.
WARNING - Loss of
brake/clutch fluid
In the event the brake/clutch
system requires frequent addi-
tions of fluid, we recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid
to contact the vehicle's body
paint, as paint damage will
result. Brake/clutch fluid, which
has been exposed to open air
for an extended time should
never be used as its quality can-
not be guaranteed. It should be
disposed of properly. Don't put
in the wrong kind of fluid. A few
drops of mineral-based oil, such
as engine oil, in your brake/
clutch system can damage
brake/clutch system parts.
ODM072009
WARNING
Clean filler cap before remov-
ing. Use only DOT3 or DOT4
brake/clutch fluid from a sealed
container.

POWER STEERING FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
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 reser-
voir at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid,
thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-
ing fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level.
✽NOTICE
Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the reservoir. If
the fluid is cold, check that it is in
the "COLD" range.
In the event the power steering sys-
tem requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only the specified power steer-
ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommended
lubricants or capacities" in section
8.)
Checking the power steering
hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate
the vehicle for prolonged peri-
ods with a 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/or noise from the power
steering system.
(Continued)ODMNMC2035
(Continued)
• The use of the non-specified
fluid could reduce the effective-
ness of the power steering sys-
tem and cause damage to it.
