POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
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 cer- tain that the power steering fluid level is be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (below -20°C). If the noise stops dur-ing warm up, there is no abnormal functionin the system. This is due to a power steer-ing fluid characteristic in extremely coldconditions.
G230A01X
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
Checking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro-
sion around the battery posts or terminals should be removed using a solution of household bak-ing soda and warm water. After the batteryterminals are dry, cover them with a light coat-ing of grease.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS
WARNING: The radiator fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operateeven when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injuredby a rotating fan blade. As the coolant tem-perature decreases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning isin operation.

HEADLIGHT BULB
Replacement instructions:
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Always grasp the bulb by its base, avoid touching the glass.
3. Disconnect the connector, then remove the dust cover.
4. Push the bulb spring for removing the head- light bulb.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. If the bulb is burned out, replace it with the same watt- age.
6. Installation is the reverse order of the re- moval.
7. Use the protective cap and carton to promptly dispose of the old bulb.
8. Check for proper headlight aim. WARNING: The halogen bulb contains gas under pres-
sure and if impacted could shatter, and re- sulting in flying fragments. Always wear eye
protection when servicing the bulb. Protectthe bulb against abrasions or scratches andagainst liquids when lighted. Turn the bulbon only when installed in a headlight. Re-place the headlight if damaged or cracked.
Keep the bulb out of the reach of childrenand dispose of the used bulb with care. G290A02X-GAT HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pres- sure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down sev- eral times. Place the vehicle at a distance of3,000 mm (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, andspare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driveror equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluid. NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
G240A01A-AAT
POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be replaced if
there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hosecould cause premature failure.
G260A03A-AAT
REPLACING HEADLIGHT BULBS Before attempting to replace a headlight bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach head-
light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure toreplace the burned-out bulb with one of thesame number and wattage rating.
CAUTION: Keep the lamps out of contact with petro-
leum product, such as oil, gasoline, etc.

tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offset must meetHyundai specification.
I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai werebalanced before the car was delivered but mayneed balancing again during the years you ownthe car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalledon the car. I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated oron slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-placed when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slowdown whenever there is rain, snow or ice on theroad. Wear indicator

WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and trac-tion. When replacing tires, never mix ra-dial and bias-ply tires on the same car. Ifyou replace radial tires with bias-ply tires,they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizes may cause unusualhandling characteristics that may cause
death, serious injury or property dam-age.
The original tires on your car have tread wearindicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). Thetire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of the
