Checking the brake 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 fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake fluid contam-
ination.
7-18
If the level is low, add the specified
brake 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 brake system
be checked
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires fre-

quent additions of fluid this
could indicate a leak in the
brake system. We recommend
that the vehicle be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. If
brake fluid comes in contact
with your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE
• Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
• Brake fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an
by an authorized
extended time should NEVER be
used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be dis-
posed of properly.
• Do not use the wrong kind of
brake fluid. A few drops of miner-
al based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damage
brake system parts.
i
Use only the specified brake fluid
(Refer to "Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities" in chapter 8).
