BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
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.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
Refer to "Recommended lubricants and
capacities" in chapter 2.
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
9-34
Information
Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/clutch fluid
from a sealed container.
WARNING
If the brake/clutch system requires
frequent additions of fluid this could
indicate a leak in the brake/clutch
system. We recommend that the vehicle
be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

WARNING
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. If brake/
clutch 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/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 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/clutch
system can damage system parts.
