WARNING:
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un-
sealed container. The presence of
water in the braking system will
cause vapour locks and increase
the possibility of brake fade along
with promoting corrosion within
the braking system. The brake fluid
must be changed at the specified
time or mileage interval to ensure
continued safe operation of the
system. Brake fluid will cause rapid
and serious damage to paintwork.
If accidental spillage occurs, the
affected area must be rinsed with
water immediately. Do not allow
brake fluid to come into contact
with the eyes or to be ingested
and ensure that fluid is safely
stored away form the reach of chil-
dren.
Correct operation of the braking
system is essential to the safe
operation of the vehicle and there-
fore, any maintenance operations
other than those listed below
should be entrusted to Hyundai
authorised repairer.
HJM5007
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir should be checked periodically.
The level should be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" marks on the side of the
reservoir. If the level is at or below the
"MIN" mark, fluid should be added
having carefully cleaned the area sur-
rounding the reservoir cap to ensure
that dirt is not allowed to enter the
system. It should be borne in mind
that the brake fluid level will decrease
slightly as the friction linings of the
pads and shoes become worn and
that this is a normal condition.
SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations
Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specifications or higher
may be used in the braking system.
Care should be taken to observe the
instructions and precautions printed
upon the container.
