Maintenance
BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer
to “Recommended  lubricants  or capaci-
ties” in section 8.)
CAUTION
Do not  allow brake fluid  to contact
the  vehicle's  body  paint,  as  paint
damage   will   result.   Brake   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 disposed
of properly.  Don't put  in the wrong
kind of fluid.  A few drops of  miner-
al-based oil,  such as  engine oil,  in
your   brake  system   can   damage
brake system parts.
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Loss of brake/
clutch fluid
In   the   event   the   brake   system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
the vehicle should  be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
WARNING - Brake/clutch
fluid
odically.   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  fluid  to the  MAX
level. The level will  fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-
ciated with the wear  of the brake linings.
If the  fluid level is  excessively low,  have
the brake  system or clutch  (if equipped)
checked   by  an   authorized   HYUNDAI
dealer.
When  changing and  adding  brake
fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it
come in  contact  with your  eyes. If
brake fluid should  come in contact
with  your  eyes, immediately  flush
them with  a large quantity  of fresh
tap water. Have your eyes examined
by a doctor as soon as possible.
