The pollen filter is located in front of the
evaporator unit behind the glove box.
It operates to decrease the amount of
pollutants entering the car.
To replace the pollen filter, refer to the
page 6-20.

Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for
a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windows
closed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. This
increases engine speed, which in
turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility of
the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used
regularly, run the air conditioning
once every month for a few min-
utes. This will help circulate the
lubricants and keep your system in
peak operating condition. Inside of

o Replace the filter every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or once a year. If
the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough
roads, more frequent pollen filter
inspections and changes are re-
quired.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, it must be checked at
an authorized dealer.

CHANGING THE POLLEN FIL-
TER (In Front of evaporator unit)
(Not all models)
The pollen filter is located in front of the
evaporator unit behind the glove box.
It operates to decrease pollutants from
entering the car and to filter the air.
1. Remove the adjusting pins on both
sides of the glove box to open half
the glove box.

Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for ten
minutes or so weekly during periods
when the system would not normally be
used to ensure that the compressor and
seals are lubricated. If this precaution
is not observed the compressor seals
may become stuck to the compressor
shaft and damaged when the system is
next used resulting in a loss of refriger-
ant and damage to the compressor.
SG140C1-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera-
tion system running at the coldest
setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the sight glass on the top of the receiver
dryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insuffi- cient, a flow of bubbles will be ob-
served through the sight glass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfac- tory, no bubbles will be observed
through the sight glass. CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system
with a low refrigerant level may dam-
age the compressor.
!
The air conditioning compressor drive
belt should be checked to ensure free-
dom from damage or excessive wear
and correct tension. The belt tension is
correct when the belt deflects by about
0.3 inches (8 mm) (1.1L: 5 ~ 5.5 mm)
when a force of 98 N is applied to the
belt halfway between the compressor
and crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of
the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai
dealer.
