!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor-mal condition.
CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT
! CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the
safe operation of the car, it is sug- gested that they be checked andinspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervalsspecified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.

19CHANGING THE CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
B145A01CM-DAT
(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)
The climate control air filter is located in the passenger cabin in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box. It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and remove the adjusting pins on both sides of the glove box.
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.
!
G140B01A-AAT
Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at 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 con-ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may dam- age the compressor.

AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-DAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accumu- lations, brush or hose them away care-fully to avoid bending the cooling fins. Replacement of the filter drier
To comply with local Australian State
codes and Laws the filter drier must be replaced if the system has been opened to the atmosphere for any reason or if during servicing no refrigerant is foundin the system.

1. Turn off the ignition and all otherswitches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fusepuller" tool is contained in the relay and fuse box of the engine room to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses
even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressinga new fuse of the same rating intoplace. The fuse should be a snugfit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a sparefuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an accessory you can tempo-rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Al- ways remember to replace the bor-rowed fuse.

CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that there is a problem in the electrical circuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory isturned on, the problem is serious and should be referred to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair.Never replace a fuse with anything except a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A highercapacity fuse could cause damage and create a fire hazard.
!
NOTE: See page 6-38 for the fuse panel
descriptions. G200C01CM-GAT
Power connector NOTE:
o If the power connector is pulled
out of the fuse panel, the warning chime, audio, clock and interior lamps, etc., will not operate. The following items must be reset af-ter replacement.- Digital clock - Trip computer
- Automatic heating and cooling
control system
- Audio
o Even though the power connec- tor is pulled out, the battery can still be discharged by operation of the headlights or other electri-cal devices.
Your vehicle is equipped with a power connector to prevent battery discharge if your vehicle is parked without beingoperated for prolonged periods. Use the following procedures before park- ing the vehicle for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover and pull out the power connector.

Checking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery posts or terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking sodaand warm water. After the battery ter- minals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING: Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery.Hydrogen, which is a highlycombustible gas, is alwayspresent 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 tocontact your skin, eyes,clothing or paint finish.If any electrolyte gets intoyour eyes, flush your eyeswith clean water for at least 15 minutes and get imme- diate medical attention. Ifpossible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth until medical atten-tion is received.If electrolyte gets on yourskin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burn- ing sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. 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 withyour hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat-
tery when the battery cables are connected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these componentswith the engine running or the ignition switched on.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELCHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the coolant temperaturedecreases the fan will 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 coolant temperature is high. G220C01A-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan should come on automatically whenever the air con- ditioning is in operation. G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure theignition 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.
OCM055027L NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immedi- ately after the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warmup, there is no abnormal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in ex-tremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluidNOTE: Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is empty.
