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.

7- 2 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
H010A01A-GAT
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibi-tion rules of your province.
There are three emission control sys-
tems which are as follows.
1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
2) Evaporative emission control sys-
tem
3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your car inspected and maintained by an au-thorized Hyundai dealer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent airpollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase. This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass through the PCV valve and intothe induction system.
H010C02Y-GAT
2. Evaporative Emission
Control System
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmo- sphere. Canister
While the engine is inoperative, fuel
vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the canis- ter. When the engine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canisterare drawn into the induction system through the purge control solenoidvalve. Purge Control Solenoid Valve
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the ECM; when the en- gine coolant temperature is low, and during idling, it closes, so that evapo- rated fuel is not taken into the surgetank. After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, it opens so as to introduce evaporated fuel to the surgetank.
H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system whichcontrols exhaust emission while main- taining good vehicle performance.
H010E01Y-GAT
EGR System
This system helps control nitrogen
oxides by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into the engine, therebyreducing cylinder combustion tem- perature.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7- 3
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremelyhigh catalytic converter tempera- tures can result from improper operation of the electrical, igni-tion or multiport electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, haveyour Hyundai dealer inspect and repair the problem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of gaso-line may cause the engine to misfire and result in damage tothe catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri- ods longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started.This may cause the catalytic con- verter to overheat and create a fire hazard.
H020A01A-AAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
HXGS509
All Hyundai vehicles are equippedwith a monolith type three-way cata-lytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro- gen oxides contained in the exhaustgas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter may cause it to operate at a very high temperature.The introduction of large amounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaust may cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observ- ing the following:
Catalytic Converter o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the cata-lytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the cata-lytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags.These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.
