ate even when the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working near the
blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not
injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases, the fan
will automatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.

CHECKING THE BRAKES

CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe
operation of the car, it is suggested that
they be checked and inspected by your
Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be
checked and inspected for wear at those
intervals specified in the vehicle mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level

WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if it gets into your
eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint
if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking
system. Follow the instructions printed on the
container.

To Check the Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should
be checked periodically. The level should be
between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the
side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below
the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up
to "MAX". Do not overfill.

Adding Brake Fluid

WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage
your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a
sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can
or reservoir to remain open any longer than
required. This will prevent entry of dirt and
moisture which can damage the brake sys-
tem and cause improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then
unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the
recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not
overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-
voir and tighten.

CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID

To Check the Clutch Fluid
"Max" Level
"Min" Level
G120E01Y
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other un-
der hood services. The system should be
checked for leakage at the same time. Check to
make certain that the clutch fluid level is always
between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings
on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss
indicates a leak in the clutch system which
should be inspected and repaired immediately.
Consult your Hyundai dealer.
