BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKINGcurrents in the Common Rail system
produce considerable magnetic
fields.
!
CAUTION:
The automatic transaxle unit is a
precision engineered assembly and
correct operation is dependant upon
the exclusion of dirt and lint from the
unit. Therefore, it is imperative that
only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used
for wiping the dipstick and that the
area around the dipstick is thor-
oughly clean prior to level checking
or adding fluid.
Fluid Capacity
Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the transaxle
unit is 6.1 litres. SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations
Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specifications or higher may be
used in the braking system. Care should
be taken to observe the instructions
and precautions printed upon the con-
tainer.
!
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking sys-
tem is essential to the safe operation
of the vehicle and therefore, any main-
tenance operations other than those
listed below should be entrusted to a
Hyundai dealer.
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir should be checked periodically.
The level should be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" marks on the side of the
reservoir. If the level is at or below the
"MIN" mark, fluid should be added. It
should be borne in mind that the brake
fluid level will decrease slightly as the
friction linings of the pads and shoes
become worn and that this is a normal
condition.

!WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un-
sealed container. The presence of
water in the braking system will cause
vapour locks and increase the possi-
bility of brake fade along with pro-
moting corrosion within the braking
system. The brake fluid must be
changed at the specified time or mile-
age interval to ensure continued safe
operation of the system. Brake fluid
will cause rapid and serious damage
to paintwork. If accidental spillage
occurs, the affected area must be
rinsed with water immediately. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into SG140A1-E
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
Condenser
Ensure that the condenser is periodi-
cally inspected and that accumulations
of dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, are
removed to ensure that the efficiency of
the system is not impaired. Care must
be exercised to ensure that the con-
denser fins are not damaged during
cleaning.

2) Wipe away any dirt then unscrew the
fluid reservoir cap.
3) Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir using by a funnel.
Do not overfill.
4) Carefully replace the cap on the res- ervoir and tighten. contact with the eyes or to be in-

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.
HTB290-D
SG140D1-E
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.

CAUTION:
Be sure to install the pollen filter in
the direction of the arrow sign. Un-
less, it may cause noise or deteriora-
tion.
5. Installation is the reverse order of disassembly.

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCE
G180A01L
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
BRAKE PEDAL FREEPLAY

The brake pedal freeplay should be

pedal to floor clearance 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-
ance: 1.97 in. (50 mm)SG160A1-E

FUSIBLE LINKS
The fusible link prevents damage to the
wiring harness in the event of an elec-
trical system malfunction. Failure of a
fusiblelink is indicative of a serious
overload condition having occurred and
therefore the electrical system should
be checked by a Hyundai dealer before
a replacement link is fitted.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should a
fusible link be replaced with any-
thing other than a new link of the
same rating. The use of higher rated
links or other means of connecting
the circuit will create a potential fire
hazard.G200B01E-EAT
INDIVIDUAL CIRCUIT FUSES
The fuse box containing the individual
circuit fuses will be found in the back-
side of multi box located in the right side
of driver. The multi box is removed by
pulling lightly and then releasing the lid.
A fuse rating grid will be found on the
reverse side of the cover. In the event
of fuse failure, the fuse should be re-
placed with one of equivalent rating. A
fuse removal tool is provided within the
fuse box to facilitate replacement.
In the event of a replacement fuse
failing shortly after installation a mal-
function within the circuit protected by
that fuse is indicated. The circuit should
be checked by a Hyundai dealer at the
first available opportunity. HTB180-D
HTB223
WARNING:
The use of replacement fuses having
a higher rating than specified or other
means of connecting the circuit will
create a potential fire hazard.

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.
The battery fitted during production is of
the "Maintenance Free" type.
SG210A1-E
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.
HTB165 SG220A1-E
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.
