AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checkedperiodically 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 conditioning should be run for at least 10 minuteseach week. This is particularly important during cool weather when the air condi- tioning system is not otherwise in use.
! CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
G130B02A-AAT To Replace the Fluid Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification shouldbe used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to contaminate the brake fluid. Sealdamage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if you get it in your eyes. It will alsodamage your vehicles paint if spilled on it and not removed immediately.

CRANK PULLEY
G140D01A-GAT Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
When the air conditioning is being used regularly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at leastonce a month. To check the drive belt tension, press down 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 deflection should beapprox. 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. G140D01A

32POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluidreservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer- ing pump may be heard immediatelyafter the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there isno abnormal function in the system. HLC5006
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
!
G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant tem-perature is high. G220C01TB-GAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comes on automatically to be controlled by
ECU.
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant temper- ature decreases the fan will automat- ically shut off. This is a normal con-dition.

Face-Level
Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be discharged through the face level vents.
This is used to select fresh outside air or recirculating inside air.
FreshRecirculation
With the " " mode selected, airenters the vehicle from outside and isheated or cooled according to the other functions selected. With the " " mode selected, air fromwithin the passenger compartment is drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the otherfunctions selected. NOTE: It should be noted that prolonged operation of the heating system in " " mode will give rise to mistingof the windshield and side win- dows and the air within the passen- ger compartment will become stale.In addition prolonged use of the air conditioning with the " " mode selected may result in the air withinthe passenger compartment becom- ing excessively dry. B670D03A-AAT Air Flow Control This is used to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five symbolsare used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrost air position.

This control is used to adjust the degree of heating or cooling desired. For normal heating operation, set the air intake control to the fresh air ( ) position and the air flow control to the floor ( ) position.For faster heating, the air intake con- trol should be set in the recirculate ( ) position.If the windows fog up, set the air flow control to the defrost ( ) position (The air conditioning will be turned on auto-matically) and the air intake control to the fresh air ( ) position. For maximum heat, move the tem-perature control to "Warm".
