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 accumu-lations, brush or hose them away care- fully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air condi-tioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer. G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air condition-ing should be run for at least 10 min- utes each week. This is particularly important during cool weather whenthe air conditioning system is not oth- erwise in use. G140D01TB-GAT Checking the Compressor Drive Belt

CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor. G140D01TB

G120E01TB-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets intoyour eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluidcan or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will pre- vent entry of dirt and moisture whichcan damage the brake system and cause improper operation.
!
To add brake fluid;
1) If it is necessary, remove the air cleaner cover.
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.

CRANK PULLEY
When the air conditioning is being used regularly, 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 crankshaft and compressorpulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt anymore than 8.0 mm (1.1L: 5~ 5.5mm). If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm(0.315 in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. HTB219

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 thenhold it down with a force of about 490 N (50 Kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the topsurface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is notwithin the limits specified in the illustra- tion, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary. HTB186

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 thebrake pedal freeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illustration. If it is not,have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary.

Drive belts should be checked periodi- cally for proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the same time, beltsshould be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora- tion and replaced if necessary.Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of theengine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted again after two or three weeks to eliminateslack resulting from initial stretching after use.

At the scheduled maintenance inspec- tion, belts should be examined forcracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces- sary.Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of theengine. A fusible link will melt if the electricalcircuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system draw-ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de- termine the cause, repair the systemand replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection.
