Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and supplies.
Tools Required:
- Clean lint-free cloth
- Funnel (if adding fluid)
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is warm.

2. Locate and Remove Dipstick

Identify the transmission dipstick location in the engine compartment.
Carefully pull the dipstick out of the tube to avoid any damage.

3. Check Fluid Level

Wipe the dipstick clean with a lint-free cloth to remove any residual fluid.
Reinsert the dipstick fully back into the tube.
Pull the dipstick out again and observe the fluid level against the markings (usually "Cold" and "Hot").
Ensure the fluid is within the appropriate range. If it is low, proceed to add fluid.

4. Add Transmission Fluid (if necessary)

If the fluid level is low, use a funnel to add the recommended transmission fluid.
Note the type of fluid specified in the vehicle’s owner manual (typically Hyundai SP-IV).
Add fluid gradually and recheck the level until it reaches the desired mark.
