Drive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension. At the same time, belts should be examined forcracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces- sary.
When a new belt is replaced, the belt
should be located within the pulley offlat idler. Belt routing should also be checked
to be sure there is no interferencebetween the belts and other parts of the engine.
NOTE: Drive belt tension is adjusted auto-
matically by the auto tensioner. CHECKING DRIVE BELTS

CHECKING AND REPLAC- ING FUSES
G200A01A-GAT
Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This couldbe caused by a short in the system drawing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealerdetermine the cause, repair the sys- tem and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a relay boxfor easy inspection. HNF4004
The parking brake pedal should bechecked periodically for proper stroke.If you feel loose in the parking brake pedal when the parking brake is en- gaged, have your parking brake ad-justed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.CHECKING PARKING BRAKE PEDAL
