Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically.The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or belowthe "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having carefully cleaned the area sur- rounding the reservoir cap to ensurethat dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be noted that the brake fluid level will decrease slightlyas the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition. WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un-sealed container. The presence ofwater in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specifiedtime or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapidand serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingestedand ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil- dren. The clutch fluid level in the mastercylinder should be checked when per-forming other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immedi-ately.

SG130B2-E Adding Fluid Recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination fromforeign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic andshould never be stored in an un- sealed container. Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contami- nate the brake fluid since damage to the rubber seals of the systemmay result. WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and
serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the af- fected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingestedand ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil- dren. SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con- ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Condenser
Ensure that the condenser is periodi- cally inspected and that accumula- tions of dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure that theefficiency of the system is not im- paired. Care must be exercised to ensure that the condenser fins arenot damaged during cleaning.

Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for ten minutes or so weekly during peri- ods when the system would not nor- mally be used to ensure that thecompressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and dam- aged when the system is next used resulting in a loss of refrigerant anddamage to the compressor. HPG140B1-E
Compressor Drive Belt The air conditioning compressor drivebelt should be checked to ensurefreedom from damage or excessive wear and correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt de-flects by about 0.3 inches (8 mm) when a force of 98 N is applied to the belt halfway between the compressorand crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer. NOTE: The compressor drive belt tension for diesel engine is adjusted auto- matically.

22CHANGING THE CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
3. Pull out the pin fixing the filter coverafter pushing it to the left and fix the pin to the groove on the filter cover.
B145A03HP-EAT (For Evaporator and Blower Unit) (Not all models) The climate control air filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box. It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and take out the
damper strap from the hole. 2. Lower the glove box completely by
pushing the both sides of the glove box inward.

To check the steering wheel free-play, stop the car with the wheels pointedstraight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen-sitive to changes in resistance that mark the limits of the free-play. If the free-play is greater than speci- fied, have it inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. YG170A1-E
Clutch Pedal
The clutch pedal freeplay must lie
within the limits shown. Incorrect free-play can result in premature wear of the clutch linings and release bearing. Excessive free-play can result in gearselection difficulties. If the free-play is incorrect, the clutch
cable should be adjusted by a Hyundaiauthorised repairer. G170A01A-EAT Brake Pedal With the engine off, press down on the brake pedal several times to reducethe vacuum in the brake booster.Then, using your hand, press downslowly 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 authorised repairer and adjusted or repaired ifnecessary.CHECKING THE FREE-PLAY

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 490 N (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 notwithin the limits specified in the illus- tration, have it inspected by your Hyundai authorised repairer and ad-justed or repaired if necessary.

1. With the engine turned off, check the belts for cracks, fraying, or excessive wear. Replace the belt ifit is in poor condition.
2. With your thumb (with a force
approx. 10 kg) press on each beltmidway between the pulleys. Each belt should deflect no more than the amount shown in figure.

1. Loosen the adusting bolts just
enough so that the components can be moved.
2. Whilst pulling outward on the pry bar
or screwdriver, test the belt deflec-tion with your thumb.
3. After tightening the adjusting bolts, be sure to recheck the belt tension. Overtightening drive belts can cause excessive wear and failurein driven components and belts.
WARNING:
The drive belt should be checked when the engine is cool or cold to avoid burning yourself on hot en-gine. The fusible link prevents damage tothe wiring harness in the event of anelectrical system malfunction. Failure of a fusible link is indicative of a serious overload condition havingoccurred and therefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before areplacement link is fitted.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should afusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of the same rating. The use of higherrated links or other means of con- necting the circuit will create a potential fire hazard.

DG200B1-E INDIVIDUAL CIRCUIT FUSES The fuse box containing the individual circuit fuses is located on the lowerportion of the dashboard adjacent to the bonnet release. The fuse box cover is removed by pushing lightlyand then releasing the lid. A fuse rating grid will be found on the re- verse side of the cover. In the eventof fuse failure, the fuse should be replaced with one of equivalent rat- ing. A fuse removal tool is providedwithin the fuse box to facilitate re- placement. In the event of a replacement fuse
failing shortly after installation a mal-function within the circuit protected by that fuse is indicated. The circuitshould be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer at the first avail- able opportunity. WARNING:
The use of replacement fuses hav-ing a higher rating than specifiedor other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-36 for the fuse panel descriptions.
