Maintenance
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between "MIN" (Minimum) and
"MAX" (Maximum) marks on the side
of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake pedal
and cables.
Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant
(if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam
age.

Maintenance
WAShER FluId
Checking the washer fluid level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli
mates to prevent freezing. Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid reser
voir.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position.
Also, the parking brake alone should
securely hold the vehicle on a fairly
steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 6~8 “clicks’’ at a force of 20
kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

Maintenance
lIGhT BulBS
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to replace most vehicle light
bulbs. It is difficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs because other parts of the
vehicle must be removed before you
can get to the bulb. This is especially
true for removing the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.Information
After heavy driving, rain or washing
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused
by the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle dur
ing the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb circuit
ry, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Be sure to replace the burnedout
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause dam
age to the fuse or electric wiring sys
tem.
NOTICE
i
Prior to replacing a light, depress
the foot brake, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transaxle vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicle), apply
the parking brake, place the igni
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF posi
tion, and take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle to avoid
sudden movement of the vehicle
and to prevent possible electric
shock.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot
and may burn your fingers.
