Maintenance
Automatic Transmission Fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions. But in severe conditions,the fluid should be changed at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer inaccordance to the scheduled mainte-nance at the beginning of this chap-
ter.
Automatic transmission fluid
color is basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the auto- matic transmission fluid will begin
to look darker. This is a normal
condition and you should not
judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
Ecoshift dual clutch transmis- sion Fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the Ecoshift dual clutch
transmission fluid according to the
maintenance schedule.
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 the MIN and the MAX
marks on the side of the reservoir.
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con-
forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifi-cation.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission
malfunction and failure. Use
only the specified automatic
transmission fluid (refer to"Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities" in chapter 8).
