WASHER FLUID

Checking the Washer Fluid Level

Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident or damage to paint and
body trim.
Do not allow sparks or flames to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.
Do not drink washer fluid and avoid
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
harmful to humans and animals.
Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.

PARKING BRAKE

Checking the Parking Brake

OCN7N091037N
Check the stroke of the parking brake by
counting the number of "clicks'' heard
while fully applying it from the released
position. Also, the parking brake alone
should securely hold the vehicle on a
fairly steep grade. If the stroke is more
or less than specified, have the system
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Stroke : 5~7 "clicks'' at a force of 44 lbs
(20 kg, 196 N)
