3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the “HOT” range
on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower,
add the specified fluid from the fill hole. If the
fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from the
drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition[fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F)], add the fluid to the “COLD” line
and then recheck the fluid level according to
the above step 2.
G110D01GK-AATChecking the automatic transaxle fluid
levelThe automatic transaxle fluid level should be
checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on level ground with the park-
ing brake applied and check the fluid level
according to the following procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N(neutral) position
and confirm the engine is running at idle
speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently
[fluid temperature 70~80°C (158~176°F)],
for example by 10 minutes usual driving,
move the shift lever through all positions then
place the shift lever in N(neutral) or P(park)
position.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. 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 de-
creases, the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.

CHANGING THE CLIMATE CON-
TROL AIR FILTERG145A03GK-GAT(In front of blower unit) (If installed)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. Remove the mounting screws on the down-
side of the glove box.

AIR CONDITIONING CAREG140A01A-AATKeeping the Condenser CleanThe air conditioning condenser (and engine
radiator) should be checked periodically for
accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc.
These can interfere with maximum cooling ef-
ficiency. When removing such accumulations,
brush or hose them away carefully to avoid
bending the cooling fins.
!
G140C01A-AATLubricationTo lubricate the compressor and the seals in the
system, the air conditioning should be run for at
least 10 minutes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when the air
conditioning system is not otherwise in use.G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioning Opera-
tion1. 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 conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system for
extended periods of time with a low refrig-
erant level may damage the compressor.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS!
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the coolant fan, so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan blade.
As the engine coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition. If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted
area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
Wear eye protection when charg-
ing or working near a battery.
Always provide ventilation when
working in an enclosed space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery, ex-
cessive pressure on the case may cause
battery acid to leak, resulting in personal
injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the battery when
the battery cables are connected.
o The electrical ignition system works with
high voltage.
Never touch these components with the
engine running or the ignition switched
on.
WARNING:
G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling FanThe condenser coolant fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is in
operation.G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELG230A04A-AATThe power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly. To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check
to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level
markings on the fluid reservoir.NOTE:o Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after
the engine is started in extremely cold
conditions (below - 4°F). If the noise
stops during warm up, there is no abnor-
mal function in the system. It is due to a
power steering fluid characteristic in
extremely cold conditions.
o Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
