CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT
!
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 maintenance schedule in
Section 5.
!
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system
with engine running or within 30
seconds after shutting off engine.
High pressure pump, rail, injec-
tors and high pressure pipes are
subject to high pressure even af-
ter the engine stopped. The fuel jet
produced by fuel leaks may cause
serious injury, if it touch the body.
People using pacemakers should
not move than 30cm closer to the
ECU or wiring harness within the
engine room while engine is run-
ning, since the high currents in
the Common Rail system produce
considerable magnetic fields.
!
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate 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 engine coolant tem-
perature decreases, the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a nor-
mal condition.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F)), add the fluid to the
“COLD” line and then recheck the
fluid level according to the above
step 2.

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 im-
mediately.
G120C02A-AAT
Recommended Brake Fluid
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con-
forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica-
tions in your braking system. Follow
the instructions printed on the con-
tainer.
G120D01A-AAT
To Check the Fluid Level
HJM5007
G120E02A-AAT
Adding Brake Fluid
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir 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.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away
any dirt then unscrew the fluid reser-
voir cap. Slowly pour the recom-
mended fluid into the reservoir. Do
not overfill. Carefully replace the cap
on the reservoir and tighten.
!
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 opera-
tion.
