Checking the Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
OQX089007L
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 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 linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake/clutch system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
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 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 attention.
NOTICE
• Do not allow brake 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
fluid. A few drops of mineral based
oil, such as engine oil, in your brake
system can damage brake system
parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).
