Checking the brake/clutch fluid level

Check the fluid level in the reservoir periodically. The fluid level should be between MAX and 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 fluid to the MAX level. The level will fall with accumulated mileage. This is a normal condition associated with the wear of the brake linings.

If the fluid level is excessively low, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid. Refer to “Recommended lubricants and capacities” in chapter 2.

Before removing the brake/clutch filler cap, read the warning on the cap.

Clean the filler cap before removing. Use only DOT4 brake/clutch fluid from a sealed container.

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.

Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to contact the vehicle’s body paint, as it will result in paint damage.
NEVER use brake fluid which has been exposed to open air for an extended time, as its quality cannot be guaranteed.
Don’t put in the wrong type of fluid. A few drops of mineralbased oil, such as engine oil in your brake system can damage system parts.
To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend that you use genuine brake/clutch fluid that conform to specifications.
