Antenna
Roof antenna
The roof antenna receives transmit-
ted data. (For example : AM/FM,
DAB, GPS/GNSS)
Rotate the roof antenna in a counter-
clockwise direction to remove it. Rotate it in a clockwise direction to
reinstall it.
• Before entering a place with low
height clearance or a car wash,
remove the antenna by rotating it
counterclockwise. If not, the
antenna may be damaged.
• When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully
tightened and adjusted to the
upright position to ensure prop-
er reception.
• Do not clean the inside of the rear window glass with a cleaner
or use a scraper to remove for-
eign deposits as this may cause
damage to the antenna elements.
• Avoid adding metallic coatings such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These
can degrade the received AM
and FM broadcast signals.

ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on levelground. 2. Start the engine and allow it to reach
normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F (Full) and L (Low).
6. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level to F. • Do not overfill the engine oil.
It may damage the engine.
• Do not spill engine oil, when adding or changing engine oil. If
you drop the engine oil on the
engine room, wipe it off immedi-
ately.
• When you wipe the oil level gauge, you should wipe it with a clean
cloth. When mixed with debris, it
can cause engine damage.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. 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 fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulat-
ed mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings.If the fluid level is excessively low,
we recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in chapter 8.
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
Information
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/clutch
fluid from a sealed container.
• 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 dis-
posed of properly.
• Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of mineral-
based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake/clutch system can
damage system parts.

If the brake/clutch system
requires frequent additions of
fluid this could indicate a leak in
the brake/clutch system. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
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 imme-
diate medical attention.
