Checking the Brake Fluid Level
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the
safe operation of the car, it is sug-
gested that they be checked and in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer. The
brakes should be checked and in-
spected for wear at those intervals
specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5.
!
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 immediately.
!
3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the "HOT"
range on the level gauge. If the fluid
level is lower, add the specified fluid
from the fill hole. If the fluid level is
higher, drain the fluid from the drain
hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition [(fluid temperature 68~86°F
(20~30°C)], add the fluid to the "COLD"
line and then recheck the fluid level
according to the above step 2.
G110D03MC
Fluid level should be within
"HOT" range
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by the
engine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the en-
gine is not running. Use extreme cau-
tion 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.
