Brake Fluid

Checking the Brake 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 the specified brake 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 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 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 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. It should be disposed of properly.
• Do not use the wrong type 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 the “Recommended Lubricants and Capacities” section in Chapter 2).

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 a 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 flame 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 the skin. Washer fluid is harmful to humans and animals.
• Keep washer fluid away from children and animals.

Parking Brake,

Check the stroke of the parking brake by counting the number of “clicks” heard while fully applying it from the released position. Also, the parking brake alone should securely hold the vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the stroke is more or less than specified, have the parking brake adjusted by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Stroke: 4~6 clicks at a force of 44 lbs (20 kg, 196 N)

AIR CLEANER

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

2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Replace the air cleaner filter.
4. Lock the cover with the cover attaching clips.

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 airflow sensor.

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER

Filter Inspection
Replace the filter 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, the owner, replace the climate control air filter, replace it performing the following procedure, and be careful to avoid damaging other components.
