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 unauthorised persons are kept awayfrom batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the

ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
!
YG210A1-E
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.As the coolant temperature de-creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condi- tion.
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should auto- matically come on if the engine cool-ant temperature is high.
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan (in front of the condenser) should come on auto- matically whenever the air conditioneris in operation.
POWER STEERING HOSES
YG220A1-E It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5. The power steering hoses should be replaced if there are severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hoses could cause premature failure. NOTE: The power steering pump may be noisy when the engine is firststarted in the extreme cold (-4°F). This noise is not abnormal and will stop as the engine warms up.If the power steering pump contin- ues to be noisy after the engine has warmed up, have it inspectedby your Hyundai authorised repairer.

Fluid Recommendation
Only automatic transaxle fluid meet-
ing the specification of PSF-3 or ATF DEXRON 2 should be used in thepower steering system.
The power steering fluid level shouldbe checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that thepower steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. NOTE: Do not check whilst the engine is running. Do not start when power steering fluid reservoir is empty.High Beam

I030A01GK-EAT TYRE PRESSURES In modern high-speed motoring, cor- rect tyre pressures are vitally impor- tant. Incorrect tyre pressures can af- fect vehicle safety by causing re-duced adhesion, steering response and tyre failure through overheating. The tyre pressure must only be checked when the tyres are cold. Thecorrect tyre pressures are indicated on the label affixed to the drivers door pillar and above.
Tyre pressures should be increased
by 3 psi when the vehicle is drivenfully laden or under conditions of sus-tained high speed motoring.

TYRE REPLACEMENT
Tyres must be replaced when the
wear indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the remaining tread depth will be ap-proximately 1.6 mm. In addition to this, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become baldor if there are any lumps, bulges or deep cuts in the sidewalls or tread.
Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating and should be of the same manufactureand tread pattern on each axle. HGK5015

Wear indicator
SI060A1-E TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer- ing vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres are balanced during production but may need further bal-ancing throughout the life of the tyres.It is recommended that the tyres bebalanced on the car for best results and that the tyres are balanced when- ever they have been removed fromthe wheel for repair. SI060D1-E WHEEL REPLACEMENT The original wheels may only be re- placed with Hyundai Approved Wheels.
WARNING:
Driving on worn or defective tyresis dangerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steering control anda serious deterioration of braking efficiency. Defective tyres may cause vibration and loss of con-trol through blow outs. Tyres of different size, construction or tread pattern should not be inter-mixed on the same axle. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be used on the same vehicle.The use of tyres and wheels of nonapproved sizes can be dangerous.
