B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when
you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air condi-
tioning system, keep all windowsclosed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy
traffic, shift to a lower gear. Thisincreases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condi- tioning off to avoid the possibility ofthe engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not usedregularly, run the air conditioningonce every month for a few min- utes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system inpeak operating condition.

G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air condition-ing should be run for at least 10 min- utes each week. This is particularly important during cool weather whenthe air conditioning system is not oth- erwise in use.

TENSION PULLEY 8mm
When the air conditioning is being used regularly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month.To check the drive belt tension, press down on the belt halfway between the engine crankshaft and compressorpulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt anymore than 8.0 mm. If you have theinstruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). If the beltis too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. HTB290-D

!WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tyres is dan- gerous! Worn-out tyres can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steer- ing control and traction. When re-placing tyres, never mix radial and bias-ply tyres on the same car. If you replace radial tyres with bias-ply tyres, they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tyres and wheels other than
the recommended sizes may causeunusual handling characteristics that may cause death, serious in- jury or property damage.
o Tyres degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-less of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres generallybe replaced after six (6) years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate the ag- ing process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyrefailure, which could lead to a loss of control and an accident involv- ing serious injury or death. o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can affect wheel speed. When replacing tires, all 4 tires must use the samesize originally supplied with the vehicle. Using tires of a different size can cause the ABS (Anti-lockBrake System) and ESP(Electronic Stability Program) to work irregu- larly.
