BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-
ciated with the wear of the brake linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorised HYUNDAI repairer.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer
to “Recommended lubricants and capac-
ities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
✽
NOTICE
Before removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
WARNING -
Brake/clutch
fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. 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.
WARNING - Loss of
brake/clutch fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI repairer.
WARNING
Clean filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/
clutch fluid from a sealed container.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact 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.
