CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL FREEPLAY
HXGS508
3 ~ 8 mm (0.12 ~ 0.31 in.)
With the engine off, press down on
the brake pedal several times to re- duce the vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down
slowly on the brake pedal until youfeel a change in resistance. This isthe brake pedal freeplay.
The freeplay should be within the
limits specified in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or re-paired if necessary.G160A01A-GAT
CHECKING CLUTCH PEDAL FREEPLAY
G160A01E
6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
With the engine off, press lightly on
the clutch pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedalfreeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by yourHyundai dealer and adjusted or re- paired if necessary.G150A01A-GAT CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
G150A01L
To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move thesteering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance thatmark the limits of the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealerand adjusted or repaired if neces- sary. 30 mm(1.18 in.)

CHECKING DRIVE BELTS
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and ad- justed if necessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks,wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces- sary.
Belt routing should also be checked
to be sure there is no interferencebetween the belts and other parts ofthe engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted again after two or three weeks to eliminateslack resulting from initial stretching after use.

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
G180A01L
75 mm (2.95 in.)
You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down onthe brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490 N (50 Kg, 110 lbs). The brakepedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under the floormat.If the brake pedal clearance is notwithin the limits specified in the illus-tration, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or re- paired if necessary.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage tothe entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system drawing too much current.) If thisever happens, have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause, repair the sys- tem and replace the fusible link. Thefusible links are located in a under hood junction box for easy inspec- tion. G200A01L

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the
power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals.
The power steering hoses should be
replaced if there is severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. De- terioration of the hose could causepremature failure.
G230A03A-GAT
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
HXG2006
The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly.
To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is betweenthe "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from the power
steering pump may be heard im- mediately after the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (be- low - 20°C). In this case, if the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the sys- tem. This is due to a power steer-ing fluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid. NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.
G220A01A-AAT
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOL- ING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan,so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the coolant temperature decreases the fan willautomatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come
on automatically if the engine coolanttemperature is high.
G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser cooling fan should
come on automatically whenever the air conditioning is in operation.

and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 3 m (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tire,jack, and tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the head light lenses and
turn on the headlights (low beam).
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of each headlight) and the horizontal line (through the center of each headlight) on the aimingscreen. And then, draw the parallel line at 30 mm (1.18 in.) place under the horizontal line.
