POWER STEERING FLUID

G090100ABH

Checking the power steering fluid
level

With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering reser-
voir periodically. The fluid should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the gauge at the normal temperature.

Before adding power steering fluid, thor-
oughly clean the area around the reser-
voir cap to prevent power steering fluid
contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.

NOTICE - (if equipped)

Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the gauge. If the fluid
is cold, check that it is in the "COLD"
range (if equipped).

In the event the power steering system
requires frequent addition of fluid, the
vehicle should be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Use only the specified power steering
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricants
or capacities" in section 8.)

G090200AEN

Checking the power steering
hose

Check the connections for oil leaks, dam-
age and twists in the power steering
hose before driving.

CAUTION

• To avoid damage to the power

steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle for prolonged periods with
a low power steering fluid level.

• Never start the engine when the

reservoir tank is empty.

• When adding fluid, be careful that

dirt does not get into the tank.

• Too little fluid can result in

increased steering effort and/or
noise from the power steering
system.

• The use of the non-specified fluid

could reduce the effectiveness of
the power steering system and
cause damage to it.
