Checking the working fluid level (Hyundai Sonata Y3)

1. Place the car on a level surface.

2. Before using the level gauge, wipe off any dirt from the areas around it.

3. With the gearshift lever in position "P" (park) and the parking brake applied, start the engine.

4. The engine should idle.

• The liquid must have an operating temperature of 70-80°C.

5. Move the gearshift lever to each position to fill the torque converter and hydraulic system with fluid. This preparatory operation is necessary to ensure that the fluid level is accurately monitored.

6. Make sure by visual inspection that the level is in the "HOT" (hot) section. If not, add working fluid until the required level is reached.
