Brake Fluid

Checking the Brake Fluid
Level
ONE1091004
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 the specified brake
fluid to the MAX level. The level will fall
with accumulated kilometers. This is a
normal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings. If the fluid level
is excessively low, have the brake system
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 let brake fluid enter into your eyes.
If brake fluid gets in 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 it will result in
paint damage.
• NEVER use brake fluid which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time, as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed of
properly.
• Do not use the wrong type of brake
fluid. A few drops of mineral based 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).
