BRAKE FLUID
Checking the brake fluid level
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
śꢀ Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as it will
result in paint damage.
śꢀ 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.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
śꢀ 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.
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 kilometres. This is a
normal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings. If the fluid
level is excessively low, we recommend
that the brake system be checked by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2).
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
