Know where the key checks are
The labelled image below shows the main components you should be able to identify safely.
What each part does and how to check it
Engine oil dipstick and filler cap
Location: Find the oil dipstick handle and the oil filler cap on top of the engine.
How to check: Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then remove it again to check the oil level.
Correct level: The oil should sit between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
Engine coolant tank
Location: Look for the translucent coolant reservoir under the bonnet with level markings on the side.
How to check: Only check the coolant when the engine is cold. The fluid should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Correct coolant: Use the coolant type listed in the Hyundai i20 owner’s handbook and do not mix random coolant types.
Screen wash reservoir
Location: Look for the screen wash filler cap, usually marked with a windscreen-washer symbol.
How to check: Open the cap and visually check whether the reservoir needs topping up.
Top-up: Use a proper screen wash mixture, especially during winter.
Brake fluid reservoir
Location: Usually towards the rear of the engine bay near the bulkhead.
How to check: Look at the side of the reservoir and make sure the brake fluid is between the MIN and MAX marks.
Safety note: If the level is low, do not simply top it up and continue driving. Have it checked by a garage.
Why this matters for your test
During the driving test, the examiner may ask you a Tell Me question before you drive or a Show Me question while driving. Knowing the Hyundai i20 engine bay layout helps you answer calmly and safely.
