WARNING:
The transaxle lubricant level should
only be checked when the engine
is cold to prelude the possibility of
personal injury by contact with hot
components.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the manual
transaxle lubricant should be
checked by Hyundai authorised re-
pairer.
1. To check the transaxle lubricant
level, the vehicle should be placed
on level ground and the level plug
removed with a suitable spanner.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant
should begin to drip from the plug
orifice. In this case the plug should
be replaced.
If the level is incorrect, lubricant
should be added until it begins to
drip from the plug orifice at which
time the plug should be replaced.
To Check the Transaxle Oil Level
Park the car on level ground with the
engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size,
loosen the oil filler bolt turning it
counterclockwise and remove it with
your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the
hole. The oil level should be at its
bottom edge. If it is not, check for
leaks before adding oil. To refill the
transaxle or bring the oil level up,
add oil slowly until it reaches the
proper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the bolt and washer, screw
it in with your fingers and then tighten
securely with the wrench.
