POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage daily. The power steering hoses should be replaced ifthere is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hosecould cause premature failure. G250A01A-AAT
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR HYUNDAI
If you desire additional information about main- taining and servicing your Hyundai, you maypurchase a factory Shop Manual at your Hyundaidealer's parts department. This is the samemanual used by dealership technicians andwhile it is highly technical it can be useful inobtaining a better understanding of your carand how it works.
G230A03A-GAT
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly.
To check the power steering fluid level, be sure
the ignition is "OFF", then check to make cer-tain that the power steering fluid level is be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condi-tions (below - 20°F). If the noise stops dur-

Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser coolant fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is in operation. ing warm up, there is no abnormal functionin the system. It is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-tions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.
G210B01A-AAT
Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro-
sion around the battery posts or terminals shouldbe removed using a solution of household bak-ing soda and warm water. After the batteryterminals are dry, cover them with a light coat-ing of grease.
G220A01A-AAT
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running.Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the coolant fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will auto-matically shut off. This is a normal condi-tion.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated
area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.

1. Crankcase Emission Control Sys-
tem
The positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by H010A01A-GAT
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibition rules of your province.
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 recommended that you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the maintenance schedule in thismanual. H010C01F-GAT
2. Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem (If Installed)
The evaporative emission control system is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere. Canister
While the engine is inoperative, fuel vapors
generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canis-ter are drawn into the induction system throughthe purge control solenoid valve. Purge Control Solenoid Valve
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECM; when the engine coolant tempera- ture is low, and during idling, it closes, so that
evaporated fuel is not taken into the engine.After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens so as to introduce evaporated fuel to theengine. H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system is a high-
ly effective system which controls exhaust emis-sions while maintaining good vehicleperformace.
H020A01A-GAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER (If Installed)
Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust
emission control system. Its purpose is to re- move certain engine emission products fromthe engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system.
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. This system supplies fresh air to the
crankcase through the air cleaner. Inside thecrankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-bygases, then passes through the PCV valve intothe induction system.

About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic
converter cause it to operate at very high tem- peratures. As a result, the introduction of largeamounts of unburned gasoline may cause it tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This can beavoided by observing the following:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex- tremely high converter temperatures can result from improper operation of the electri-cal, ignition or fuel injection systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If your run out of gasoline, it could cause theengine to misfire and result in excessiveloading of the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either pushed or pulled to get it started. This can cause thecatalytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. As these materials couldcome in contact with the catalytic converterand could cause a fire. o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any
other part of the exhaust system while theengine is running as it is very hot and couldresult in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.

o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires. I050A02GK-GAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed onthe front wheels. Be sure that the chains areinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions. Refer to the following information. I060A02GK-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
I040A01S-GAT
SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the driveside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)when your car is equipped with snow tires. Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and besure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un- der any circumstances. This may cause dan-gerous handling characteristics.
I060A01GK
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-ue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded. WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use tire chains less than 10mm (0.39 in.) for 16" and 17" tires.
o Avoid sudden stop and turns.
o Tighten firmly to avoid contact with the verticle body, if you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, removethe chains for damage protection. 15", 16" Tire
