Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.
Brake/clutch fluid (if equipped)
Check brake/clutch fluid level in the
brake fluid reservoir. The level should
be between “MIN” (Minimum) and
“MAX” (Maximum) marks on the side of
the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake/
clutch fluid conforming to DOT 3 or 4
specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake lever and
cables.
Rear brake drums and linings
(if equipped)
Check the rear brake drums and linings
for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,
broken parts, and excessive wear.
Brake pads, calipers and discs
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for
fluid leakage.
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 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
(if equipped)
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and damage.

Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
OBC3090016ROBC3090016R
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (Maximum) and MIN
(Minimum) 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 (Maximum) level. The
level will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings and/or
clutch disc (if equipped).
If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants or
capacities” in chapter 2.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING
Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
i Information
Before removing the brake/clutch filter
cap, read the warning on the cap.
WARNING
Clean filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake/clutch fluid from a
sealed container.

Maintenance
WARNING
Brake/clutch fluid
When changing and adding brake/
clutch fluid, handle it carefully. Do not
let it come in contact with your eyes.
If brake/clutch fluid come in contact
with your eyes, immediately flush them
with a large quantity of fresh tap water.
Have your eyes examined by a doctor
as soon as possible.
NOTICE
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
properly disposed. 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
brake/clutch system parts.
