Maintenance
Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake/Clutch Fluid
Check the brake/clutch fluid level in
the brake/clutch fluid reservoir. The
level should be between the MIN and
the MAX marks on the side of the
reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake/clutch fluid conforming to DOT
4 specification.
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 connections or
replace parts as necessary.
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.

Maintenance
Changing Engine Coolant
Have coolant changed by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products according to the
Maintenance Schedule at the begin-
ning of this chapter.
To prevent damage to engine
parts, put a thick towel around the
radiator cap before refilling the
coolant to prevent the coolant
from overflowing into engine
parts, such as the alternator.
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 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 author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
NOTICE
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.
Engine coolant may also cause
damage to paint and body trim.
WARNING
BRAKE/CLUTCH (IF EQUIIPPED) FLUID
If the brake/clutch system
requires frequent additions of
fluid this could indicate a leak in
the brake/clutch system. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
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.

Maintenance
• 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.
• 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 chap-
ter 8).
Checking the Washer Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary. 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
WASHER FLUID
OIK077010
To prevent serious injury or
death, take the following safety
precautions 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 dam-
age to paint and body trim.
•Do not allow sparks or flames
to contact the washer fluid or
the washer fluid reservoir.
Washer fluid may contain alco-
hol 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
children and animals.
