G120E01HR-GAT Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealedcontainer. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will pre-vent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake system and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, pull up the cover, wipe away any dirt, and open the fluidreservoir cap. Slowly pour the recom- mended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on thereservoir and tighten.
AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checkedperiodically 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 your Hyundai dealer.
! CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.
G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air conditioning should be run for at least 10 minuteseach week. This is particularly important during cool weather when the air condi- tioning system is not otherwise in use.
