6-14 SG140B1-E Compressor Drive Belt The air conditioning compressor drive belt should be checked to ensure freedom from damage or excessive wear and correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt deflects by about0.3 inches (8 mm) when a force of 98 N is appliedto the belt halfway between the compressor andcrankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of the belt shouldbe entrusted to a Hyundai dealer.
SG140C2-E Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for several
minutes with the refrigeration system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air conditioning system in-spected by your Hyundai dealer.
