Checking the engine clutch actuator fluid level

The engine clutch actuator fluid reservoir is located below the air cleaner duct.

In normal driving conditions, the actuator fluid level does not go down rapidly. However, oil consumption rate may rise as vehicle mileage increases, and leakage in actuator related parts may result in increased consumption of the engine clutch actuator oil. Regularly check and make sure the engine clutch actuator oil fluid level is between MIN and MAX marks.

If the fluid level is excessively low, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Use only the specified engine clutch actuator fluid. For more information, refer to the "Recommended lubricants and capacities" section in chapter 2. Never mix different types of fluid.

Check the fluid level in the engine clutch actuator fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary.

The reservoir is translucent so that you can check the level with a quick visual inspection.

Do not allow engine clutch actuator fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, because paint damage may occur.
Never use engine clutch actuator fluid that has been exposed to open air for an extended time and dispose of it properly.
Do not use a wrong type of engine clutch actuator fluid. A few drops of mineral based oil such as engine oil in your engine clutch system may damage the engine clutch system parts.

In the event the engine clutch system requires frequent additions of fluid, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
When changing and adding engine clutch actuator fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it come in contact with your eyes.

If engine clutch actuator fluid comes in contact with your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
