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.

25CHANGING THE AIR CONDITIONER FILTER
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

(For Evaporator and Blower Unit) (If Installed) The air conditioner filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind theglove box. It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.

2. Remove the cable and the wiring from the filter cover.
1. Open the glove box and remove the adjusting pins on both sides of theglove box.
HLC2098
3. Remove the filter cover by pushing the upper end of the filter cover.

HLC2099
4. Replace the two filters.
5. Installation is the reverse order of disassembly.
CAUTION:
Be sure to install the air conditionerfilter in the direction of the arrow sign. Otherwise, it may cause noise or deterioration. G150A01A-GAT STEERING WHEEL To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move thesteering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen- sitive to changes in resistance thatmark the limits of the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealerand adjusted or repaired if necessary.
HLC5008
30 mm (1.18 in.) G160A01A-GAT CLUTCH PEDAL
G160A01E
6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
With the engine off, press lightly on the clutch pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedalfreeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by yourHyundai dealer and adjusted or re- paired if necessary.

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.

B180B01A-GAT Pre-tensioner Seat Belt (With A/BAG) (If Installed) Your Hyundai vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner is to make sure that the seat belts fit tightly against the occu-pant's body in certain frontal collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated with the airbags. The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in a similar way as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. Whenthe vehicle stops suddenly, or if the occupant tries to lean forward too quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
!To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn cor- rectly.
2. The seat belt must be adjusted to the correct position.
NOTE:
o Both the driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal collisions. The pre- tensioner seat belts can be activat-ed with the airbags. The pre- tensioners will be activated even if the seat belts are not being worn atthe time of the collision.
o When the pre-tensioner seat belts
are activated, a loud noise may beheard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be vis- ible in the passenger compart-ment. These are normal operating conditions and are not hazard- ous.
o Although it is harmless, the fine
consists mainly of the following compo-nents. Their locations are shown in the illustra- tion.

2. Seat belt pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

35SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIRBAG) SYSTEM
B240A03A
Driver's Airbag
Your Hyundai is equipped with a Supple- mental Restraint (Airbag) System. The indications of the system's presenceare the letters "SRS AIR BAG" em- bossed on the airbag pad cover in the steering wheel and on the passenger'sside front panel pad above the glove box. The Hyundai SRS consists of airbags installed under the pad covers in the center of the steering wheel and thepassenger's side front panel above the glove box. The purpose of the SRS is to B240A03F-GAT (If Installed)!
o The SRS is designed to deploy the
airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when theimpact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle and will not deploy inside, rear or rollover impacts. Ad- ditionally, the airbags will only deploy once. Thus, seat belts mustbe worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in side-impact, rear-impactor rollover crashes. In addition, airbags will not deploy in frontal crashes below the deploymentthreshold speed.
provide the vehicle's driver and/or thefront passenger with additional protec-tion than that offered by the seat belt system alone, in case of a frontal im- pact of sufficient severity. NOTE: Be sure to read information about the SRS on the labels provided on the backside of the sun visor and inthe glove box.
WARNING:
o As its name implies, the SRS is designed to work with, and besupplemental to, the driver's and the passenger's three point seat belt systems and is not a substi-tute for them. Therefore your seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Theairbags deploy only in certain fron- tal impact conditions severe enough to cause significant injuryto the vehicle occupants.
