Brake/Clutch Fluid,

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 fluid, clean the area around the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent brake fluid contamination. If the level is low, add 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, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Information
Clean the filler cap before removing it. Use only DOT4 brake/clutch fluid from a sealed container.

WARNING
Do not let brake fluid enter into your eyes. If brake fluid gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

NOTICE
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to contact the vehicle’s body paint, as it will result in paint damage. NEVER use brake fluid that has been exposed to open air for an extended time, as its quality cannot be guaranteed. Don’t put in the wrong type of fluid. A few drops of miner all-based oil such as engine oil in your brake system can damage system parts. To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend that you use genuine brake/clutch fluid that conforms to specifications. (Standard : SAE J1704 DOT-4 LV, ISO4925 CLASS-6 and FMVSS 116 DOT-4)

WASHER FLUID

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 climates to prevent freezing.

WARNING
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 damage 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 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 children and animals.

AIR CLEANER

Filter Replacement

The air cleaner filter can be cleaned for inspection using compressed air. Do not attempt to wash or to rinse it, as water will damage the filter. If soiled, the air cleaner filter must be replaced.

Loosen the air cleaner cover by attaching clip (1) and open the cover.
Replace the air cleaner filter. Insert (2) completely into (3).
Insert the air cleaner cover in the hinge (4) and engage the clip (5) after closing the cover.
Check that the cover is firmly installed.

Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the usual recommended intervals (refer to “Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions” in this chapter).

NOTICE
Do not drive with the air cleaner filter removed. This will result in excessive engine wear. When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter the air intake, or damage may result. Use HYUNDAI genuine parts. The use of non-genuine parts could damage the engine.

CABIN AIR FILTER

Filter Inspection

The cabin air filter should be replaced according to the Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is operated in severely air-polluted cities or on dusty rough roads for a long period, it should be inspected more frequently and replaced earlier. When you replace the cabin air filter, replace it by performing the following procedure, and be careful to avoid damaging other components.

Filter Replacement

1. Push in both sides of the glove box as shown. This will ensure that the glove box stopper pins will get released from its holding location allowing the glove box to hang.
2. Remove the cabin air filter case while pressing the lock on the right side of the cover.

Replace the cabin air filter.
Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.

NOTICE
Install a new cabin air filter in the correct facing downwards, otherwise, it may be noisy and the effectiveness of the filter may be reduced.

WIPER BLADES

Blade Inspection

Contamination of either the windshield or the wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce the effectiveness of the windshield wiper functionality. Common sources of contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes. If the blades are not wiping properly, clean both the window and the blades with a clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, arms or other components, do not:

Use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
Attempt to move the wipers manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.

Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes have been known to make the windshield difficult to clean.

Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.

NOTICE
In order to prevent damage to the hood and the wiper arms, the wiper arms should only be lifted when in the top wiping position. Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.

NOTICE
The use of a non-specified wiper blade could result in wiper malfunction and failure.

Front windshield wiper service positions

This vehicle has a “hidden” wiper design which means that the wipers cannot be lifted when they are in their bottom resting position.

Within 20 seconds of turning off the engine, lift and hold the wiper lever up to the MIST position for about 2 seconds until the wipers move to the top wipe position.
At this time you can lift the wipers off the windshield.
Gently put the wipers back down onto the windshield.
Turn the wipers to any ON position to return the wipers to the bottom resting position.

Raise the wiper arm.
Lift up the wiper blade clip. Then pull down the blade assembly and remove it.
Install the new blade assembly.
Return the wiper arm on the windshield.
