Park the vehicle on a level, level ground.
Press the brake pedal and move the automatic transmission selector lever sequentially through all positions (holding him in each of them for a few seconds) for oil filling (ATF) the entire automatic transmission hydraulic control system and automatic transmission torque converter, and then set the selector lever to the position «N».
Before removing the oil dipstick, clean the area around it from dirt. Remove the dipstick and check the condition of the oil in the gearbox (ATF). Under the following conditions, it is necessary to overhaul the gearbox:
- oil (ATF) in automatic transmission has a burnt smell;
- oil (ATF) in automatic transmission it is noticeably black;
- oil (ATF) in the automatic transmission is contaminated with a large amount of metal particles.
Check that the oil level (ATF) in the automatic transmission is in the range «NOT» oil dipstick. If the oil level (ATF) lower than indicated, add it up to the mark «NOT».
Oil for automatic transmissions (ATF): GENUINE HYUNDAI ATF SP-II M.
If the oil level (ATF) in an automatic transmission below normal, the oil pump will capture oil along with air, which will lead to various malfunctions. Air trapped with oil (ATF) into the hydraulic system of the automatic transmission, forms bubbles that cause the oil to foam. As a result, the pressure in the hydraulic system will become unstable, which in turn will lead to a delay when shifting gears (late gear shifting) and slipping of friction clutches or brakes, etc. If the level is higher than normal, then due to the rotation of the gears of the planetary mechanisms, abundant foaming of the oil will occur (ATF), resulting in the same consequences as with a low oil level (ATF), and will cause premature deterioration of the oil.
In both cases, air bubbles cause overheating, oil oxidation (ATF) and varnish deposits that damage valves, couplings and actuators. Foaming also causes oil to be thrown out (ATF) through the automatic transmission crankcase breather, which is mistaken for leaks.

Make sure you carefully examine the condition of the automatic transmission oil (ATF) on the oil dipstick before installing it in place (pic. 3.72).
