G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.
WARNING:The radiator fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes 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 cool-
ant temperature decreases the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser cooling fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioner is in
operation.
HLC5006
The 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 character-
istic in extremely cold conditions.
G210B02A-AATChecking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro-
sion around the battery posts or terminals should
be removed using a solution of household bak-
ing soda and warm water. After the battery
terminals are dry, cover them with a light coating
of grease.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Battery posts, terminals, and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7- 3
unburned gasoline into the exhaust may cause
the catalytic converter to overheat and create a
fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by ob-
serving the following:
WARNING:o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is
your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com-
bustible material such as grass, paper,
leaves or rags. These materials might
contact the hot catalytic converter and a
fire might result.
WARNING:o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalytic con-
verter temperatures can result from im-
proper operation of the electrical, ignition
or multiport electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is
hard to start, have your Hyundai dealer
inspect and repair the problem as soon
as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.
Running out of gasoline may cause the
engine to misfire and result in damage to
the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer
than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause the
catalytic converter to overheat and create
a fire hazard.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or
any other part of the exhaust system
while the catalytic converter is hot. Shut
off the engine, wait for at least one hour
before touching the catalytic converter or
any other part of the exhaust system.
