Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at
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 yourHyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
!
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 weatherwhen the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use. G140D01HP-GAT
Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
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, pressdown on the belt halfway between theengine crankshaft and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 8.0 mm. If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflectionshould be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315 inches). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.

28CHECKING THE FREE-PLAY
G150A01A-GAT Steering Wheel To check the steering wheel free- play, stop the car with the wheelspointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressureand be sensitive to changes in resis- tance that mark the limits of the free- play. If the free-play is greater thanspecified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or re- paired if necessary. G160A01A-GAT
Clutch Pedal
With the engine off, press lightly on
the clutch pedal until you feel a changein 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. G170A01A-GAT
Brake Pedal
With the engine off, press down on
the brake pedal several times to re-duce the vacuum in the brake booster. Then, using your hand, press down
slowly on the brake pedal until youfeel 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 repaired if necessary.
Maximum 30 mm (1.18 in)
6 ~ 13 mm(0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
3 ~ 8 mm(0.12 ~ 0.31 in.)

29CHECKING DRIVE BELTSCHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
G180A01A-GAT
You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down onthe brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490N (50 kg, 110 lbs). The brakepedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under the floormat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration, have it inspected by yourHyundai dealer and adjusted or re- paired if necessary. 71 mm (2.80 in.)

Drive belts should be checked peri-odically for proper tension and ad- justed if necessary. At the same time,belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces-sary.Belt routing should also be checkedto 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 stretchingafter use. HHP5049
