POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

G230A03A-AAT

The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly. To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check
to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level
markings on the fluid reservoir.

NOTE:

Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the
engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (below - 4°F). If the noise stops during
warm up, there is no abnormal function in
the system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAI

If you desire additional information about main-
taining and servicing your Hyundai, you may
purchase a factory Shop Manual at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department. This is the same
manual used by dealership technicians and
while it is highly technical it can be useful in
obtaining a better understanding of your car and
how it works.

POWER STEERING HOSES

It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at regular
intervals. The power steering hoses should be
replaced if there is severe surface cracking,
scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose
could cause premature failure.

Recommended Fluid

Use PSF-3 type fluid

NOTE:

Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
