CHECKING THE FREE-PLAY
G150A01A-AAT
Steering Wheel
To check the steering wheel free-play, stop the
car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and
gently move the steering wheel back and forth.
Use very light finger pressure and be sensitive
to changes in resistance that mark the limits of
the free-play. If the free-play is greater than
specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai
dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

G160A01A-AAT
Clutch Pedal
With the engine off, press lightly on the clutch
pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This
is the clutch pedal free-play. The free-play
should be within the limits specified in the illus-
tration. If it is not, have it inspected by your
Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if
necessary.

G180A01A-AAT
CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCE
You need a helper to check the brake pedal
clearance. With the engine running, have your
helper press down on the brake pedal several
times and then hold it down with a force of about
110 lbs (50 kg, 490 N). The brake pedal clear-
ance is the distance from the top surface of the
brake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under the
floor mat.
If the brake pedal clearance is not within the
limits specified in the illustration, have it in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted
or repaired if necessary.
G180A01L
1.78 in. (45.1 mm)
Drive belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the
same time, belts should be examined for cracks,
wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration
and replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be sure
there is no interference between the belts and
other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced,
the new belt should be adjusted again after two
or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from
initial stretching after use.

Brake Pedal
With the engine off, press down on the brake
pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the
brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down slowly on
the brake pedal until you feel a change in
resistance. This is the brake pedal free-play.
The free-play should be within the limits speci-
fied in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected
by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or re-
paired if necessary.

24POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-AAT
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.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAI
If you desire additional information about main-
taining and servicing your Hyundai, you may
purchase a factory Shop Manual at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department. This is the same
manual used by dealership technicians and
while it is highly technical it can be useful in
obtaining a better understanding of your car and
how it works.
G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at regular
intervals. The power steering hoses should be
replaced if there is severe surface cracking,
scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose
could cause premature failure. Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluid
NOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser coolant fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is in
operation.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.

8CONSUMER INFORMATION & REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

I080A01A-AATTIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn
tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on
slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-
placed when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control, slow
down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the
road.
I070A01A-AAT
TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.
!
The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. The tread wear indicators appear
when the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The
tire should be replaced when these appear as
a solid bar across two or more grooves of the
tread. Always replace your tires with those of
the recommended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet
Hyundai specification.I090A01A-AAT
WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
HGK248
Wear indicator 0.06 in. (1.6 mm)WARNING:o Using tires and wheels of other than the
recommended sizes could cause un-
usual handling characteristics that could
cause death, serious injury, or property
damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's di-
mensional specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the vehicle,
including broken wheel studs.
!WARNING:Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control and trac-
tion. When replacing tires, never mix radial
and bias ply tires on the same car. If you
replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they
must be installed in sets of four.
