POWER STEERING FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the power steering
fluid level
NOTICE
(Continued)
Check  that the  fluid  level is  in  the
"HOT"  range  on  the  reservoir.  If
the fluid  is  cold, check  that it  is  in
the "COLD" range.
The  use  of  the  non-specified
fluid could reduce the effective-
ness of the power steering sys-
tem and cause damage to it.
In the event  the power steering  sys-
tem  requires  frequent   additions  of
fluid, we recommend that the system
be   inspected    by   an    authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only  the specified  power steer-
ing  fluid.  (Refer to  "Recommended
lubricants  or  capacities"  in  section
8.)

steering pump, do not operate
the vehicle for prolonged peri-
ods with a low power  steering
fluid level.
Check the  connections for  oil leaks,
damage   and  twists   in  the   power
steering hose before driving.
With  the   vehicle  on  level   ground,
check  the  fluid  level  in   the  power
steering  reservoir   periodically.  The
fluid  should  be  between  MAX  and
MIN marks  on the side of  the reser-
voir at the normal temperature.
Before  adding power  steering  fluid,
thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-
ing fluid contamination.
Never  start  the  engine  when
the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding  fluid, be  careful
that dirt  does not get  into the
tank.
•  Too  little  fluid  can   result  in
