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).
CAUTION

Maintenance
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.
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks, dete-
rioration, or damage. Start the
engine and listen carefully for any
exhaust gas leakage. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as neces-
sary.
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 the
engine off, check for excessive free-
play in the steering wheel. Check the
linkage for bends or damage. 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
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.
