Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Pony 1.2 and 1.4 variants built between 1980-1984 both use a steering box configuration, each carrying a power steering fluid capacity of 0.2 liter.
  • The 0.2 liter figure for the steering box represents a relatively small fill volume, consistent with the compact rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball steering assemblies typical of economy vehicles from that era.
  • From 1984-1985, both the 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants transitioned to a steering gear configuration, with the capacity reducing slightly to 0.18 liter.
  • The shift from steering box to steering gear between the 1980-1984 and 1984-1985 production periods corresponds to a capacity difference of 0.02 liter across both engine displacements.
  • The 1984 model year appears in both the steering box and steering gear rows for each engine variant, indicating a mid-cycle transition point where both configurations were in use during that year.
  • All four rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the listed capacities of 0.2 liter and 0.18 liter apply under standard operating circumstances rather than severe or special-case service conditions.
