2009 Hyundai Getz maintenance

6- 18 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system draw-ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de- termine the cause, repair the systemand replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, neveruse anything but a new fusible linkwith the same or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. Thiscould result in serious damage and create a fire hazard.

G190A01A-GAT CHECKING DRIVE BELTS Drive belts should be checked periodi- cally for proper tension and adjusted ifnecessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora-tion 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 the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from initial stretching after use. HTB186

G200B01E-DAT Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found in the backside of multi box located in the right side of driver. Inside the box youwill find a list showing the circuits pro- tected by each fuse. HTB180-D
HTB223
If any of your car’s lights or other electrical accessories stop working, a blown fuse could be the reason. If thefuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has burned through. If you suspect a blownfuse, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the fuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out. 4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing
a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an acces- sory you can temporarily get along without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Always remember to replace the borrowed fuse.

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 thesewarnings to reduce the risk of injury:
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.

G210A01A-DAT CHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING:
When working with batteries, care- fully observe the following precau-tions to avoid serious injuries. HTB165
The fluid in the battery contains a strong solution 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:
G200B02L
! CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that there is a problem in the electrical circuit. If you replace a fuse and itblows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is serious and should be referred to a Hyundaidealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anything except a fuse with the same or alower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and create a fire hazard. NOTE: See page 6-30 for the fuse panel descriptions. Good B

If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyeswith clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immedi- ate medical attention. If pos-sible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is re-ceived. If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash thecontacted area. If you feel a pain or a burn- ing sensation, get medicalattention immediately. Wear eye protection when charging or working near abattery. Always provide ventilation when working in an en-closed space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive 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.
!
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 when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes andall other flames or sparks away from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highlycombustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited.Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly cor-rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con- tact your skin, eyes, cloth-ing or paint finish. 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.

G230A03A-GAT POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition 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. HTB163NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer- ing pump may be heard immediatelyafter the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there isno abnormal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold con-ditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.

G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOL- ING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use ex- treme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan, sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on automatically if the engine coolanttemperature is high. G220C01TB-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comes on automatically, being controlled by
the engine ECU.

G290A01FC-DAT HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
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. Place the vehicle at a distance of 3,000 mm (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tyre,jack, and tools).

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 schedule in Section 5. The power steer-ing hoses should be replaced if there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff- ing or worn spots. Deterioration of thehoses could cause premature failure.
