Brake Fluid; Checking The Brake Fluid Level - Hyundai Palisade 2023 Owner's Manual

BRAKE FLUID

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 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
associated with the wear of the brake
linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. Have the
vehicle 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 contact
the vehicle's body paint, as paint
B0436KO01
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 guaranted. It should be
disposed of properly.
Do not use the incorrect type of
brake fluid. A few drops of mineral
based oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to "Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities" section in chapter 2).
