Checking the brake fluid level

2C_BreakOilLevel
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level must be
between the MAX and the MIN marks on
the side of the reservoir.
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. If the fluid level is
excessively low or frequent additions are
required, we recommend that the brake
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate a leak
in the brake system. We recommend that
your vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If brake fluid comes in contact with your
eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE
• Do not allow brake fluid to contact the
vehicle's body paint, because paint
damage may occur.
• Never use brake fluid that has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time and dispose of it properly.
• Do not use a wrong type of brake fluid.
A few drops of mineral based oil such as
engine oil in your brake system may
damage the brake system parts.
Information
Use only the brake fluid specified in the
"Recommended lubricants and
capacities" section in chapter 2.
