Changing Engine Coolant
Have coolant changed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer according to the
Maintenance Schedule at the beginning
of this chapter.
To prevent damage to engine parts,
put a thick towel around the radiator
cap before refilling the coolant to pre-
vent the coolant from overflowing into
engine parts, such as the generator.
Checking the Brake/Clutch
Fluid Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. 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/clutch linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake/clutch system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid reser-
voir.
Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Engine coolant may also cause
damage to paint and body trim.
WARNING
If the brake system requires fre-
quent additions of fluid this could
indicate a leak in the brake system.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
come in contact with your eyes. If
brake/clutch fluid comes in contact
with your eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water for at least 15 minutes
and get immediate medical atten-
tion.

Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended
time should NEVER be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.
Do not use the wrong kind of brake/clutch fluid. A few drops of
mineral based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake/clutch system can
damage brake/clutch system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid
(refer to "Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities" in chapter 8).
Checking the Washer Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. 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.i
NOTICE
OAD075011
To prevent serious injury or death,
take the following safety precau-
tions 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 control 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 harmful to humans and
animals.
Keep washer fluid away from chil-
dren and animals.

*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine 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.
*
3: If the ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use ILSAC GF-3 (or above) or ACEA A3 (or above).
*4: If the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.
