When the air conditioning is being used regu-larly, the compressor drive belt tension shouldbe checked at least once a month. To check the drive belt tension, press down on the belt halfway between the engine crankshaftand compressor pulleys. Pressing with yourfinger, you should not be able to deflect this belt
anymore than 5 - 5.5 mm. If you have theinstruments to check it with a force of 98N (22lb.), the deflection should be approx. 5 - 5.5(0.197 - 0.217 inches). If the belt is too loose,have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.

The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it onyourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid onyourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continueto rinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon aspossible.
While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G210B01A-AAT

B670C02A-AAT Air Intake Control
B670C03A-DAG
This is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
Fresh Recirculation
With the " " mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the other functions selected.
With the " " mode selected, air from within
the passenger compartment is drawn throughthe heating system and heated or cooled ac-cording to the other functions selected.
NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged operation
of the heating system in " " mode will giverise to misting of the windshield and sidewindows and the air within the passenger
compartment becoming stale. In addition prolonged use of the air conditioning withthe " " mode selected may result in theair within the passenger compartment be-coming excessively dry.
B670D02A-AAT Air Flow Control
B670D03A-DAG
This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or wind-
shield. Five symbols are used to representFace, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and De-frost air position.
B670D01X-DAG
B670D02X-DAG
Face-Level
Selecting the “Face” mode will cause air to be
discharged through the face level vents.
Bi-Level
Air is discharged through the face vents and the
floor vents. This makes it possible to have cooler air from the dashboard vents and warm-
er air from the floor outlets at the same time.
