CHECKING DRIVE BELTSDrive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension and adjusted if
necessary. At the same time, belts should
be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or
other evidence of deterioration and re-
placed if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be
sure there is no interference between the
belts and other parts of the engine. After a
belt is replaced, the new belt should be
adjusted again after two or three weeks to
eliminate slack resulting from initial stretch-
ing after use.G190A01A-AAT

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCEG180A01A-AATYou need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine running,
have your helper press down on the brake
pedal several times and then hold it down
with a force of about 110 lbs (50 kg, 490 N).
The brake pedal clearance is the distance
from the top surface of the brake pedal to
the asphalt sheeting under the floor mat.
If the brake pedal clearance is not within
the limits specified in the illustration, have
it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and
adjusted or repaired if necessary.

G170A01A-AATBRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAYWith the engine off, press down on the
brake pedal several times to reduce the
vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down slowly
on the brake pedal until you feel a change
in resistance. This is the brake pedal free-
play.
The free-play should be within the limits
specified in the illustration above. If it is not,
have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer
and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

CHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSES
!
G200B02JM-AATReplacing Accessory Fuses
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the
same or lower amperage rating. Never
use a piece of wire or a higher-rated
fusible link. This could result in serious
damage and create a fire hazard.
The fuse box for the lights and other elec-
trical accessories will be found on the left
side of crash pad. Inside the box you will
find a list showing the circuits protected by
each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown (open)
fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has
opened, you will see that the metal strip
inside the fuse has melted through. If you
suspect a blown fuse, follow this proce-
dure:
G200A03A-AATReplacing a Fusible LinkA fusible link will melt if the electrical cir-
cuits from the battery are ever overloaded,
thus preventing damage to the entire wir-
ing harness. (This could be caused by a
short in the system drawing too much cur-
rent.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai
dealer determine the cause, repair the
system and replace the fusible link. The
fusible links are located in a relay box in the
engine compartement for easy inspection.

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 accessory you can temporarily get
along without (the radio or cigarette
lighter, for example). Always remember
to replace the borrowed fuse.
CAUTION:
An open fuse indicates that there is a
problem in the electrical circuit. If you
replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the
accessory is turned on, the problem is
serious and should be referred to a
Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair.
Never replace a fuse with anything ex-
cept a fuse with the same or a lower
amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse
could cause damage and create a fire
hazard.NOTE:See page 6-35 for the fuse panel descrip-
tions.
GoodOpen-Replace
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 relay and fuse box of
the engine room to simplify this opera-
tion).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if
you find one that appears to have
opened.

FANS!
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan, so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted
area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical atten-
tion immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a bat-
tery.
Always provide ventilation
when working in an enclosed
space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
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.
o Never attempt to charge the battery
when the battery cables are con-
nected.
o The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
Never touch these components with
the engine running or the ignition
switched on.

WARNING:
!
WARNING:Always read the following in-
structions carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all
other flames or sparks away
from the battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach
of children because batteries
contain highly corrosive SUL-
FURIC ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your skin,
eyes, clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into your
eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate medi-
cal attention. If possible, con-
tinue to apply water with a
sponge or cloth until medical
attention is received.

POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A03A-AATThe power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine 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.NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after
the engine is started in extremely cold
conditions (below - 4°F). If the noise stops
during warm up, there is no abnormal
function in the system. It is due to a
power steering fluid characteristic in
extremely cold conditions.

G250A01A-AATFOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAIIf you desire additional information about
maintaining and servicing your Hyundai,
you may purchase a factory Shop Manual
at your Hyundai dealer's parts department.
This is the same manual used by dealer-
ship technicians and while it is highly tech-
nical it can be useful in obtaining a better
understanding of your car and how it works.G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure. Recommended FluidUse PSF-3 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT
BULBS!
G260A02A-AATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach
the light bulbs so they may be changed. Be
sure to replace the burned-out bulb with
one of the same number and wattage
rating.
See page 6-34 for the wattage description.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with
petroleum products, such as oil, gaso-
line, etc.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the water
leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have
the vehicle checked by an Authorized
Hyundai Dealer.
G270A02O-AATHeadlight and Front Turn Signal Light1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protec-
tion.
2. Open the engine hood.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic
base, avoid touching the glass.
4. Using a socket wrench of the correct
size, remove the headlight assembly
mounting bolts.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
H010D01A-AAT3. Exhaust Emission Control
SystemThe Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls ex-
haust emissions while maintaining good
vehicle performace.
H010B01A-AAT1. Crankcase Emission Control
SystemThe positive crankcase ventilation system
is employed to prevent air pollution caused
by blow-by gases being emitted from the
crankcase. This system supplies filtered
air to the crankcase through the air intake
hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air
mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass
through the PCV valve and into the induc-
tion system.
H010A02O-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emis-
sion control system to meet all require-
ments of the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency or California Air Resources
Board.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recom-
mended that you have your car inspected
and maintained by an authorized Hyundai
dealer in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.
Caution for the Inspection and Mainte-
nance Test (V6 Vehicle with Traction
Control System)
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, discon-
nect the ABS connector in the engine
compartment. (2.7 V6 only)
o For more information, see shop manual
(Wheel Speed Sensor).
o After dynamometer testing is com-
pleted, erase the ABS/TCS DTC
(Diagnotic Trouble Code) with a GST
(Generic Scan Tool) or Hi-Scan Pro.
CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank
are absorbed and stored in the canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel va-
pors absorbed in the canister are drawn
into the induction system through the purge
control solenoid valve.Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve is con-
trolled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is low during idling, the PCSV closes
so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms-up during
ordinary driving, the PCSV opens to intro-
duce evaporated fuel to the engine.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refuel-
ing Vapor Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors from
escaping into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow
the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel va-
pors into the atmosphere.)
