BRAKES/CLUTCH(IF EQUIPPED) FLUID
■ Left-hand drive
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 asso-
ciated 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.

brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with

come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doctor as
soon as possible.

engine oil, in your brake/clutch sys-
tem can damage the system parts.
