1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Placethe vehicle at a distance of 3,000 mm (118 in.) from the test wall.

4. Clean the head light lenses and turn on the headlights (low beam).
NOTE:
o Grinding noise from the power
steering pump may be heard im- mediately after the engine is startedin extremely cold conditions (be- low - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no ab-normal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely coldconditions.
o Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir isempty. G240A01A-DAT POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections forfluid leakage at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance sched- ule in Section 5.

Headlight
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Open the engine bonnet and discon- nect the negative (-) post of the battery.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base, avoid touching the glass.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the
back of the headlight.
o After heavy, driving rain or wash-ing, headlight and taillight lenses could appear frosty. This condi-tion is caused by the temperature difference between the lamp in- side and outside. This is similarto the condensation on your win- dows inside your vehicle during the rain and doesn’t indicate aproblem with your vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checkedby an authorised Hyundai dealer.
