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.
Checking the parking brake
Foot type
Check whether the stroke is within
specification when the parking brake
pedal is depressed with 44 lb (20 kg,
196 N) of force. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,
have the parking brake adjusted by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 3 notch

To prevent serious injury or
death, take the following safety
precautions when using washer
fluid:
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident or
damage to paint and body trim.
Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer
fluid may contain alcohol and
can be flammable.
Do not drink washer fluid and
avoid contact with skin.
Washer fluid is poisonous to
humans and animals.
Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.

UTQGS
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Standards is a tire information sys-
tem that provides consumers with

*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.
