6- 14 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
G130B02A-AATTo Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specification should be used. The
reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE:Do not allow any other liquids to contami-
nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
G140A01A-AAT
AIR CONDITIONER CARE
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioner condenser (and engine ra-
diator) should be checked periodically for accu-
mulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These
can interfere with maximum cooling efficiency.
When removing such accumulations, brush or
hose them away carefully to avoid bending the
cooling fans.
G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the
system, the air conditioner should be run for at
least 10 minutes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when the air con-
ditioning system is not otherwise in use.
G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioner Opera-
tion
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioner set
at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:Use caution when handling brake fluid. It
can damage your vision if you get it in your
eyes. It will also damage your vehicles paint
if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
!CAUTION:Running the air conditioning system for ex-
tended periods of time with a low refrigerant
level may damage the compressor.

G130A01A-AATCHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
To Check the Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other un-
der hood services. The system should be
checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level
is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings
on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss
indicates a leak in the clutch system which
should be inspected and repaired immediately.
Consult your Hyundai dealer.

8- 6 CONSUMER INFORMATION & REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
WARNING:The temperature grade for this tire is es-
tablished for a tire that is properly inflated
and not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure. Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction grades,
from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfac-
es of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.
I130A01A-AATCONSUMER INFORMATION
This consumer information has been prepared
in accordance with regulations issued by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It
provides the purchasers and/or prospective
purchasers of Hyundai automobiles with infor-
mation on uniform tire quality grading. Your
Hyundai dealer will help answer any questions
you may have as you read this information.
I130B03A-AAT
Tire Grading
Department of Transportation quality grades -
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to
Federal Safety Standards in addition to these
grades. These quality grades are molded on the
sidewall.
Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm due to varia-
tions in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and cli-
mate.
WARNING:The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
Temperature A, B, C - The temperature
grades are A (the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire's resistance to the generation
of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Feder-
al Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
!
!
Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Quality
grades can be found on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:
