BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
Checking the brake/clutchfluid
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 the specified
brake/clutch 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, have
the brake/clutch system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

fluid (refer to “Recommended
Lubricants and Capacities” in chap-
ter 8).

requires frequent additions of
fluid this could indicate a leak in
the brake/clutch system. Have

2Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ-
omy 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.
