CHECKING THE BRAKES
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to
the safe operation of the car, it is
suggested that they be checked
and inspected by your Hyundai
dealer. The brakes should be
checked and inspected for wear at
those intervals specified in the
vehicle maintenance schedule in
Section 5.
G120B01A-A AT
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake
fluid. It can damage your vision if
it gets into your eyes. It will also
damage your vehicle's paint if
spilled on it and not removed im-
mediately.
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within
"HOT" range
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low,
use a funnel to add transaxle fluid
through the dipstick tube until the
level reaches the "HOT" range. Do
not overfill.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and
may sometimes operate even when
the engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan,
so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine
coolant temperature decreases, the
fan will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
While the engine is idling, apply the
brakes and move the gear selector
lever from "P" to each of its other
positions -- "R", "N", "D" -- and then
return to "N". With the engine still
idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing
clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe
it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far
as it will go, then remove it again.
Now check the fluid level on the
dipstick. It should be in the "HOT"
range on the dipstick.
