Warning! The vehicle must be parked on a flat, level surface.
Order of execution
1. Drive until the transmission has warmed up to 70-80°C.
2. Park your vehicle on a level, level surface.
3. With the engine running, move the selector lever from the position «N» to all positions and back to position «N».
4. Before removing the dipstick, clean the area around the dipstick to remove dirt. Remove the dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid. Check the color of the fluid in the automatic transmission. Check the automatic transmission fluid for unusual odors. Compare the fluid with fresh fluid to determine the change in color and odor of the fluid.
Attention! If the automatic transmission fluid has a burnt odor or is contaminated with bushing material or friction, the transmission may need to be overhauled.
5. Check the fluid level, which should be between the marks «HOT». If necessary, add the required amount of the required liquid. Transmission fluid: GENUINE HYUNDAI ATF SP–III.
Attention! A low fluid level can cause many problems as air enters the fluid and the air-liquid mixture becomes compressible, resulting in erratic pressure changes and failure of clutches and band brakes.
Attention! Also, an elevated fluid level causes the rotating gears of the transmission to whip up foam, which has the same results as air trapped in the transmission fluid.
Attention! In any case, air bubbles lead to overheating and oxidation of the transmission fluid, which, getting into the valves, disrupts the operation of the clutch and brakes. Foaming may cause fluid to leak out, which may be mistaken for a fluid leak.
6. Insert the dipstick securely.
7. Transmission fluid and oil filters should always be changed when overhauling the transmission.
