BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
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. If the
level is low, add fluid to the MAX level.
The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings. If the fluid level is excessively
low, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
✽
NOTICE
Before removing the brake/clutch
filter cap, read the warning on the
cap.
WARNING - Brake/
clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it
carefully. Do not let it come in
contact with your eyes. If brake/
clutch fluid should come in con-
tact 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/clutch
system requires frequent addi-
tions of fluid, we recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid
to contact the vehicle's body
paint, as paint damage will
result. Brake/clutch fluid, which
has been exposed to open air
for an extended time should
never be used as its quality can-
not 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/
clutch system can damage
brake/clutch system parts.
