ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimesoperate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade.As the engine coolant temperature decreas-es, the fan will automatically shut off. Thisis a normal condition. The engine cooling fan should operate before the temperature gauge reaches the upper por-tion of the scale and the condenser fan shouldoperate whenever the air conditioning is in use. The power steering fluid level should bechecked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to makecertain that the power steering fluid level isbetween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engineis started in extremely cold condition(below -4°F). If the noise stops during warmup, there is no abnormal function in thesystem. This is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely cold con-ditions.

WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid which is corrosive and poisonous. Hy- drogen gas is emitted from the battery whichis explosive when combined with oxygen.The following precautions must be strictlyobserved to avoid personal injury or dam-age to the vehicle.
o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medicalassistance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milk followed by an ant-acid (raw egg or milk of magnesia) must bedrunk. Vomiting should not be induced andmedical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well venti- lated areas from which naked lights or sourc-es of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unautho- rized persons are kept away from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production is of the
"Maintenance Free" type.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
7-2
It is of the utmost importance that the following information is read and understood by thevehicle operator in order to prevent operationalproblems arising from damage to the catalyst.Damage to the catalyst will result if contamina-tion occurs through the use of leaded fuel.Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diam-eter filler neck to prevent charging of the fueltank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it ispossible that the use of funnels or jerry cans willpermit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fueltank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt fuel andtherefore if an engine misfire condition exists,damage to the catalyst will occur. It is impera-tive that if a misfire condition develops, thevehicle is immediately presented to a Hyundaidealer for rectification. Similarly, the practice ofcertain ignition system diagnosis procedureswhich involve inducing a misfire (cylinder powerbalance tests for example) may result in cata-lyst damage.For these reasons, it is advisable that theexhaust gas emission be tested at each routineservice with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocar-bon measuring facility to ensure continuedreliability of the catalyst.Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to beavoided since unburnt fuel may be enter thecatalyst and result in damage. (Note, it isimpossible to push or tow start a Hyundaimodel equipped with fuel injection since thefuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pumpfrom operating under these conditions).
Operation of the catalyst involves extremelyhigh temperatures being attained within thecatalytic convertor, and although the convertoris fitted with heat shields, it is important that thevehicle is not parked over combustible or vola-tile material which may result in fire.If the above precautions are not adhered to andthe catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultantincrease in core temperature will result in a"melt down" where the catalyst core will meltand subsequently may block the exhaust sys-tem.Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst ele-ment, it is important that damage does notoccur when the vehicle is raised by means of agarage jack. Care must also be exercised toavoid driving over road hazards or debris whichmay cause damage to the catalyst element.
H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a diesel engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida- tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car-bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulatecontained in the exhaust gas.
H020C01S-GAT EGR SYSTEM ; For a diesel engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into theengine.
