NOTICE
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid

WARNING
• Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control or
damage to paint and body trim.

• Windshield Washer fluid agents
contain some amounts of alco-
hol and can be flammable under
certain circumstances. Do not
allow sparks or flame to contact
the washer fluid or the washer
fluid reservoir. Damage to the
vehicle or occupants could
occur.
OTL075010
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
The reservoir is translucent so that
you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary.
Plain water may be used if washer
fluid is not available.
• Windshield washer fluid is poi-
sonous to humans and animals.
Do not drink and avoid contact-
ing windshield washer fluid.
Serious injury or death could
occur.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.
Stroke : 5~6 “clicks’’ at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
