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 are notdamaged during cleaning.
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 your Hyundai authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.
! SG140D1-E
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 the com-pressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and damaged when the system is next used result- ing in a loss of refrigerant and damageto the compressor.

SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tight- ened to avoid contamination from for-eign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un- sealed container. Do not allow pe- troleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubber seals of the system may re- sult.
!
WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If ac- cidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water im-mediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure thatfluid is safely stored away form the reach of children.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
SG200A1-E
Fusible Links
The fusible link prevents damage to
the wiring harness in the event of an electrical system malfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicative of a seri- ous overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before a replace-ment link is fitted. WARNING:
Under no circumstances should a fusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of thesame rating. The use of higher rated links or other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.

At the scheduled maintenance inspec-
tion, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evi- dence of deterioration and replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to
be sure there is no interference be-tween the belts and other parts of theengine.

SG220A1-E ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reachesthe upper portion of the scale and thecondenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. 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 onthe fluid reservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in ex-tremely cold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions.
FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluidmeeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
2EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
SH010A1-E
(Not all models)
Depending upon the market for which
the vehicle is destined, the emission control system will comprise one or more of the following emission control devices.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order that the proper functioning of
the emission control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintained by an Hyundai authorised repairer inaccordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. SH010B1-E
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixeswith blow-by gases and then passes through the PCV valve into the intake manifold from where it subsequentlyenters the combustion chamber and is burned.
SH010C1-E
2. Evaporative Emission Control
System
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escaping into the atmosphere through the fuel tank ventilation sys- tem. Whilst the engine is not running, fuel
vapours generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in a charcoal canister. When the engine is started, the vapours
stored in the canister are drawn intothe induction system through the purge control solenoid valve and are subse-quently burned. The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the ECU; when the en- gine coolant temperature is low or the engine is idling, the purge control valveis closed and fuel vapours remain stored in the canister. Under normal running conditions when the engine iswarm, the valve opens and the vapours are drawn into the inlet tract and sub- sequently burned in the combustionchamber.
SH010D1-E
3. Exhaust Emission Con Trol
System
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system whichcontrols exhaust emission whilst main-taining good vehicle performance.

SH020A1-E
Catalytic Convertor Operation Precautions ; For a petrol engine
HFC505
Hyundai Matrix models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require spe- cial operating considerations. The cata- lytic convertor serves to oxidize cer-tain noxious elements of the exhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce the level of pollutants emitted from thevehicle and, provided that care is ex- ercised to prevent damage, the cata- lyst will operate efficiently for the lifeof the vehicle.
Catalytic Converter It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator in order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the useof leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, itis possible that the use of funnels or fuel cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata- lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve-hicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai authorised repairer for rectifi- cation. Similarly, the practice of cer-tain ignition system diagnosis proce- dures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for ex-ample) may result in catalyst damage. For these reasons, it is advisable thatthe exhaust gas emission be tested ateach routine service with a gas ana- lyzer having a Hydrocarbon measuring facility to ensure continued reliabilityof the catalyst.Push or tow starting of the vehicle is tobe avoided since unburnt fuel mayenter the catalyst and result in dam- age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equippedwith fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involves ex-tremely high temperatures being at-tained within the catalytic convertor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important thatthe vehicle is not parked over combus- tible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block the ex-haust system.

HA1409Spare tyre SI060A1-E TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer- ing vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres are balanced during production but may need further bal-ancing throughout the life of the tyres.It is recommended that the tyres bebalanced on the car for best results and that the tyres are balanced when- ever they have been removed from thewheel for repair.
I060A01FC-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon theconditions of use. It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly than those fitted to the rear of the vehicleand therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of helping to ensure an even wear rate across the tyre set. Forvehicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rotation should be confined to front to rear tyre alternation. It is not recom-mended that radial ply tyres be rotated from side to side. NOTE:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
o Aluminium wheels which are not supplied as Original Equipment should not be mixed on the same vehicle with the original steel wheels. However, it is acceptable that the steel spare wheel be used in conjunction with Original Equipment aluminium wheels since the offset of both wheels is compatible. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be mixed on the same vehicle.
