o The battery electrolyte is ex-tremely caustic. Do not allow it to come in contact with youreyes, skin, clothing, or the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilled electrolyte should be flushed immediately with ample amounts of water. Irritation to eyes or skin from contact withelectrolyte requires immediate medical attention.
o If the battery is to be quick- charged, first disconnect the battery cables.
o In order to prevent a short cir- cuit, be sure to disconnect thenegative (-) terminal before do- ing anything else.AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully 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 maxi-mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash
vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by your Hyundai 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 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use.CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.

G140D01HP-GAT
Checking the Compressor Drive Belt When the air conditioning is being used regularly, the compressor drivebelt 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. If you havethe 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 ad- justed by your Hyundai dealer. NOTE: The compressor drive belt tension for diesel engine (2.5 CRDi only) isadjusted automatically.

CHANGING THE AIR CONDITIONER FILTER
B140E01P
B140E01P-AAT (For Evaporator and Blower Unit) (Minibus/Van) The air conditioner filter is located in the air intake duct behind the wind- shield washer reservoir. It helps to decrease pollutants from entering the car.
1. Open the engine hood.

16CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
I100A02P-GAT Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The brake fluid level must be be- tween the "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads but it does not indicate any abnormality. If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short time, it indicates leaks from the brake system. In such a case,have your vehicle checked by an au- thorized HYUNDAI dealer. Use SAE J1703 (or DOT3 or DOT 4) or equivalent type brake fluid.
CAUTION:
Be sure to install the air condi- tioner filter in the direction of thearrow sign. Otherwise, it may cause noise or deterioration.

3. Replace the air conditioner filter with a new one.
4. Installation is the reverse order of disassembly. I100A01P
