!!
G130B02A-AATTo Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT
3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. The
reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE:Do not allow any other liquids to contami-
nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if you get it in your
eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's
paint if spilled on it and not removed imme-
diately.
G140A01A-AATAIR CONDITIONING CARE
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and engine
radiator) should be checked periodically for
accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc.
These can interfere with maximum cooling ef-
ficiency. When removing such accumulations,
brush or hose them away carefully to avoid
bending the cooling fans.
G140C01A-AATLubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the
system, the air conditioning should be run for at
least 10 minutes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when the air
conditioning system is not otherwise in use.
G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioning Opera-
tion
1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioning set
at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:Running the air conditioning system for
extended periods of time with a low refrig-
erant level may damage the compressor.

G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.
G220A01A-AATCHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS
G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser coolant fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is in
operation.
WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the coolant fan, so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan blade.
As the engine coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.
The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly. To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check
to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level
markings on the 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 - 4°F). If the noise stops during
warm up, there is no abnormal function in
the system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
G230A01O G210B02A-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 house-
hold baking soda and warm water. After the
battery terminals are dry, cover them with a light
coating of grease. 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.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:Battery posts, terminals, and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
