G140A01A-AAT AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt,dead insects, leaves, etc. These can interfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accumu-lations, brush or hose them away care- fully to avoid bending the cooling fans. G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. 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 condi-tioning 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.
G120E02TB-AAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets intoyour eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluidcan or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will pre- vent entry of dirt and moisture whichcan damage the brake system and cause improper operation.
!
To add brake fluid;
1) If it is necessary, remove the air cleaner cover.
2) Wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap.
3) Slowly pour the recommended fluid
into the reservoir using by a funnel. Do not overfill. Before using, check the condition of the funnel to prevent a mixture of a foreign substance.
4) Carefully replace the cap on the res- ervoir and tighten.
G120D02A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
HTB166
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of thereservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill. NOTE: If the level is below the "MIN" mark, it should be changed by an autho-rized Hyundai dealer.

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. G140D01TB-GAT Checking the Compressor Drive Belt

CRANK PULLEY
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 (1.1L: 5~ 5.5mm). If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm(0.315 in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. HTB219

TROL AIR FILTER (In Front ofevaporator unit) (If Installed) The climate control air filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box.It operates to decrease pollutants en- tering the car.
1. Remove the adjusting pins on both
sides of the glove box to open half the glove box.

NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering pump may be heard imme- diately 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. It 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.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 powersteering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. HTB163
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 to be controlled by
ECU.
