3. If the transmission fluid level is low, use a
funnel to add transmission fluid through the
dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT"
range. Do not overfill.
WARNING:
The electric engine cooling fan automatical-
ly switches on and off according to engine
temperature. Be careful to keep away from
the fan during this check as it may switch on
at any time.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine
running or within 30 seconds after shutting
off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-
tors and high pressure pipes are subject to
high pressure even after the engine stopped.
The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may
cause serious injury, if it touch the body.
People using pacemakers should not move
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har-
ness within the engine room whilst engine
is running, since the high currents in the
Common Rail system produce considerable
magnetic fields.
NOTE:
Only lint free cloth should be used for wip-
ing the dipstick. The presence of lint within
the transmission may cause problems with
the normal function of the transmission.

BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking system is
essential to the safe operation of the vehicle
and therefore, any maintenance operations
other than those listed below should be
entrusted to a Hyundai dealer.

Brake Fluid Recommendations
Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT
4 specifications or higher may be used in the
braking system. Care should be taken to ob-
serve the instructions and precautions printed
upon the container.
SG120D1-E
Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should
be checked periodically. The level should be
between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the
side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below
the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having
carefully cleaned the area surrounding the res-
ervoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to
enter the system. It should be borne in mind
that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly
as the friction linings of the pads and shoes
become worn and that this is a normal condi-
tion.
WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never
be stored in an unsealed container. The
presence of water in the braking system will
cause vapour locks and increase the possi-
bility of brake fade along with promoting
