BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE FLUID FLUID FLUID FLUID FLUID
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the
"MAX" and "MIN" marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads but it does not indicate any abnor-
mality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short
time, it indicates leaks from the brake system.
In such a case, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use SAE J1703 (or DOT3 or DOT 4) or equiva-
lent type brake fluid.
On a vehicle with the brake fluid warning lamp,
the brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls to below the
"MIN" mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights
up.
