NOTE:
o If you clean the filter with water,dry it in the open air.
o When cleaning the filter, be care- ful that the filter doesn’t drop or bump against other objects, or damage may result.

G140D01A-GAT Checking the Compressor Drive Belt When the air conditioning is being used regularly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at leastonce a month. To check the drive belt tension, press down on the belt halfway between theengine crankshaft and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 8.0 mm. If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflection should beapprox. 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.

CHECKING THE CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
B145A03HR-GAT
(For Evaporator and Blower Unit) (If Installed) The climate control air filter is located in the hood.It helps to decrease the amount of pollutants entering the car.
B145A01HR
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the filter by pressing the upper end of the filter.
3. Clean the filter with compressed air
or water.
4. Reassemble in the reverse order of
disassembly after the filter is com-pletely dried.

Melted
Good
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could becaused by a short in the system draw- ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de-termine the cause, repair the system and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easyinspection.

Belt
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 be-tween the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted again after twoor three weeks to eliminate slack result- ing from initial stretching after use. WARNING:
The drive belt should be checked when the engine is cool or cold to avoid burning yourself on hot en- gine.

7. Uniform tire quality grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum sectionwidth. For example: TREADWEAR 200TRACTION AA TEMPERATURE A
o Tread wear The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times (1½)as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires de-pends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to varia-tions in driving habits, service prac- tices and differences in road character- istics and climate.
!WARNING: Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used.Regardless of the remaining tread, we recommend that tires be re- placed after approximately six (6)years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high load- ing conditions can accelerate theaging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure, which could lead to a loss ofcontrol and an accident involving serious injury or death. 4. Tire ply composition and ma-
terial
The number of layers or plies of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire manufac- turers also must indicate the materialsin the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others. The letter "R" means radial ply construction; the letter"D" means diagonal or bias ply con- struction; and the letter "B" means belted-bias ply construction. 5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in the tire. Do not exceed the maximum per-missible inflation pressure. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label for recommended inflation pressure. 6. Maximum load rating This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacingthe tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that has the same load rating as the factory installed tire.
