CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER
G070A03Y-AAT The replacement of air filter is per-
formed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts
are recommended.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine 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.
WARNING:
Remove the radiator cap when the
radiator is cool.

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.
OCM055010R
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.

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.

!
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tyres are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least threehours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tyre each time you check the pres-sure of other tyres.
o Never overload your car. Be espe- cially careful about overloading if you equip your car with a lug- gage rack or car top carrier. I040A01S-DAT
SNOW TYRES
If you equip your car with snow tyres,
they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tyres. Snow tyres should beinstalled on all four wheels; otherwise, poor handling may result.
Snow tyres should carry 28 kPa (4 psi)
more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tyreson the tyre label on the drive side centre pillar outer panel, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tyresidewall whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tyres.
These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combina- tion of ride comfort, tyre wear and stability under normal conditions.Tyre pressures should be checkedmonthly at least. Proper tyre inflationpressures should be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures increase the chance of dam- age from impacts and cause un- even tread wear.
