Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
G140A01A-AAT AIR 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 effi- ciency. When removing such accumulations, brush or hose them away carefully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
G130B02A-AAT To Replace the FluidRecommended 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. Itcan 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 immediately.
When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month. To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaftand compressor pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stopthe car. Also, the car will not stop in as short adistance with only half of the brake systemworking. If the brakes fail whilst you are driving,shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to doso.
