BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumu-
lated mileage.This is a normal condi-
tion associated with the wear of the
brake linings. If the fluid level is
excessively low, have the brake sys-
tem or clutch (if equipped) checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Brake/clutch
fluid
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.
Use only the specified brake fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
or capacities” in section 8.)
OGD074071N
Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
Never mix different types of fluid.
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/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch
fluid contamination.
CAUTION
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.
Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact 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 mineral-
based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damage
brake system parts.
