1.78 in. (45.1 mm)
You need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine run-
ning, have your helper press down on
the brake pedal several times and then
hold it down with a force of about 490
N (50 Kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal
clearance is the distance from the top
surface of the brake pedal to the as-
phalt sheeting under the floor mat.
If the brake pedal clearance is not
within the limits specified in the illustra-
tion, have it inspected by your Hyundai
dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-
essary.SG170A1-E

The brake pedal freeplay should be

checked with the engine running and a
load of 490 N applied to the pedal. If
either value is incorrect, the necessary
adjustment should be performed by a
Hyundai dealer. Pedal to floor clear-

o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto
skin or into eyes, the effected area
must be flushed with copious
amounts of water and medical assis-
tance 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 be drunk.
Vomiting should not be induced and
medical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well venti-lated areas from which
naked lights or sources of sparks are
excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unauthorized persons are kept away
from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+) and negative (-) termi-
nals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain
sulphuric acid which is corrosive
and poisonous. Hydrogen gas is
emitted from the battery which is
explosive when combined with oxy-
gen. The following precautions must
be strictly observed to avoid per-
sonal injury or damage to the ve-
hicle.

ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-
gine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the
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 engine coolant tem-
perature decreases, the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reaches
the upper portion of the scale and the
condenser fan should operate when-
ever the air conditioning is in use.

Before performing aiming adjustment,
make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground
and press the front bumper and rear
bumper down several times. Place
the vehicle at a distance of 118 in.
(3,000 mm) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire,
jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn
on the headlight (low beam). WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away any
water drained out in this manner,
because the fuel mixed in the water
might be ignited and result in a fire.
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Disconnect the air intake hose from air cleaner cover.
3. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom
of the fuel filter.
4. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
5. Check to be sure that the warning lamp illuminates when the ignition
key is turned to "ON", and that it
goes off when the engine is started.
If in doubt, consult your nearest au-
thorized HYUNDAI dealer.

7- 2 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
SH010A1-E EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (Not all models) Depending upon the market for which the vehicle is destined, the emissioncontrol system will comprise one or more of the following emission con- trol devices. 1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
2) Evaporative emission control sys-
tem
z3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order that the proper functioning of the emission control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintainedby an authorized Hyundai dealer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. SH010B1-E
1. CRANKCASE EMISSION
CONTROLSYSTEM
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent airpollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where thismixes with blow-by gases and then passes through the PCV valve into the intake manifold from where it sub-sequently enters the combustion chamber and is burned.
SH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escaping into the atmo- sphere through the fuel tank ventila- tion system.
Whilst the engine is not running, fuel
vapours generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in a char-coal canister. When the engine is started, the vapours stored in the canister are drawn into the induction SH010D1-E
3. EXHAUST EMISSION CON
TROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system whichcontrols exhaust emission while main- taining good vehicle performance.
system through the purge control so-lenoid valve and are subsequently burned.
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the ECU; when the en-gine coolant temperature is low or the engine is idling, the purge control valve is closed and fuel vapours re-main stored in the canister. Under normal running conditions when the engine is warm, the valve opens andthe vapours are drawn into the inlet tract and subsequently burned in the combustion chamber.

CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OP- ERATION PRECAUTIONS ; For a Petrol engine
Hyundai Getz models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require special operating considerations. Thecatalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex- haust gases leaving the engine toreduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage,the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle.
It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un-derstood by the vehicle operator in
HTB178Catalytic Converter order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle,it is possible that the use of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata-lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve- hicle is immediately presented to aHyundai dealer for rectification. Simi- larly, the practice of certain ignition system diagnosis procedures whichinvolve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) may result in catalyst damage.
For these reasons, it is advisable that
the exhaust gas emission be testedat each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea- suring facility to ensure continuedreliability of the catalyst. Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel may be enter the catalyst and result indamage. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since thefuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involvesextremely high temperatures beingattained within the catalytic conver- tor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is importantthat the vehicle is not parked over combustible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam- age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid driving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata-lyst element.
