G140A01A-AAT AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically 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.
! CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
G120E02TB-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets intoyour eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluidcan or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will pre- vent entry of dirt and moisture whichcan damage the brake system and cause improper operation.
!
To add brake fluid;
1) If it is necessary, remove the air cleaner cover.
2) Wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap.
3) Slowly pour the recommended fluid
into the reservoir using by a funnel. Do not overfill. Before using, check the condition of the funnel to prevent a mixture of a foreign substance.
4) Carefully replace the cap on the res- ervoir and tighten.
G120D02A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
HTB166
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 thereservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill. NOTE: If the level is below the "MIN" mark, it should be changed by an autho-rized Hyundai dealer.

G210A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully ob-serve the following precautions to avoid serious injuries. HTB165
The fluid in the battery contains a strongsolution of sulfuric acid, which is poi- sonous and highly corrosive. Be carefulnot to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, imme- diately do the following:
!
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seekmedical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue torinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei-ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from oc- curring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
!
G210B01Y-GAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery posts orterminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery terminalsare dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:
Always read the following instructions carefully whenhandling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparksaway from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is alwayspresent in battery cells and may explode if ignited.

G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOL- ING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use ex- treme caution when working nearthe blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
!
Keep batteries out of the reach of children becausebatteries contain highly cor- rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con-tact your skin, eyes, cloth- ing or paint finish. If any electrolyte gets intoyour eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immedi-ate medical attention. If pos- sible, continue to apply water with a sponge or clothuntil medical attention is re- ceived. If electrolyte gets on yourskin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burn-ing sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection whencharging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilationwhen working in an en- closed space.o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.Never touch these componentswith the engine running or the ignition switched on.

G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections forfluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re- placed if there is severe surface crack-ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora- tion of the hose could cause prema- ture failure.
G300A03TB-GAT REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER(DIESEL ENGINE) If the fuel filter warning light illuminates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. NOTE: It is recommended that water accu- mulated in the fuel filter should be removed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away anywater drained out in this manner,because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.
!
Extracting air in the fuel filter If you drove until you have no fuel left or if you replaced the fuel filter, be sure to extract air in the fuel system as itmakes you difficult to start the engine.
1) Remove the air extract nozzle cap on the fuel filter.
2) Pump up and down until the fuel flows out of the plug opening.
NOTE: Use cloths when you extract air so that the fuel is not sprayed around. Clean the fuel around the fuel filter orthe injection pump before starting the engine to prevent fire. Finally, check each part if the fuel is leaking.

8- 4 CONSUMER INFORMATION
I050A01TB-GAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size andthat they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize tire and chain wear, donot continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.
I040A01S-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires on the tire label on, or up to the maxi- mum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.
!WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o Don't use the tire chains in 185/ 55R 15 tire to prevent body dam-age.
o If you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent
from a body damage after driving0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been drivenmore than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.
