13CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER
!
6. Start the engine, top off the radiator
with water and then add coolant to the reservoir until the level is be- tween "LOW" and "FULL".
7. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the draincocks are fully closed and not leak- ing.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the coolant fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor-mal condition. G070A03Y-AAT The replacement of air cleaner filter is
performed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts
are recommended. HHP5013
!
CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a proper air cleaner filter in place can result in excessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirtdoes not enter the air intake. These may result in damage to the air cleaner filter.

Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at
fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maxi- mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning 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.
! G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the
seals in the system, the air condition- ing should be run for at least 10 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use.
AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans.

The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan,so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases thefan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.

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 the power steer- ing pump may be heard immedi- ately after the engine is started inextremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function inthe system. If is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in ex- tremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid. NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the
power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re-placed if there is severe surface crack- ing, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose could causepremature failure. G350A02HP-GAT
Bleeding the Fuel System (For Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI))
The fuel system should be bled to
remove air as described in the illus- tration if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter isreplaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
1. Loosen the air bleed bolt at the upper part of the fuel filter with a flat-head screwdriver or equivalent. G350A01HP

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-AAT
; For a Gasoline Engine
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped
with a monolith type three-way cata- lytic converter to reduce the carbonmonoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro- gen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing throughthe catalytic converter may cause it to operate at a very high temperature. The introduction of large amounts ofunburned gasoline into the exhaust may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and create a fire hazard.This risk may be reduced by observ- ing the following: WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremely high catalytic converter tempera-tures can result from improper operation of the electrical, igni- tion or multiport electronic fuelinjection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, have your Hyundai dealer inspect and repair the problem as soon aspossible.
o Avoid driving with a very low
fuel level. Running out of gaso-line may cause the engine to misfire and result in damage to the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri-
ods longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started.This may cause the catalyticconverter to overheat and cre- ate a fire hazard.
Catalytic Converter
o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the cata- lytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least onehour before touching the cata- lytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source ofassistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and afire might result.

WARNING:
o Use diesel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremely high catalytic converter tempera- tures can result from improperoperation of the electrical, igni- tion or electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, or is hard to start, have your Hyundaidealer inspect and repair the problem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of dieselmay cause the engine to stop and result in damage to the cata- lytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri- ods longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started.This may cause the catalyticconverter to overheat and cre- ate a fire hazard.
Catalytic Converter H020A01HP
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxidation type catalytic converterto reduce the carbon monoxide, hy- drocarbons and particulates contained in the exhaust gas. o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of theexhaust system while the cata- lytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least onehour before touching the cata- lytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai
dealer is your best source ofassistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and afire might result.
