CHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSES
CHECKING DRIVE BELTSG190A01A-AATDrive belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the
same time, belts should be examined for cracks,
wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration
and replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be sure
there is no interference between the belts and
other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced,
the new belt should be adjusted again after two
or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from
initial stretching after use.

Replacing a Fusible LinkA fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre-
venting damage to the entire wiring harness.
(This could be caused by a short in the system
drawing too much current.) If this ever happens,
have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,
repair the system and replace the fusible link.
The fusible links are located in a relay box for
easy inspection.

CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the same
or lower amperage rating. Never use a piece
of wire or a higher-rated fusible link. This
could result in serious damage and create a
fire hazard.

G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe 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 FanThe 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.
If any electrolyte gets into your
eyes, flush your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
If possible, continue to apply wa-
ter with a sponge or cloth until
medical attention is received.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted
area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
Wear eye protection when charg-
ing or working near a battery.
Always provide ventilation when
working in an enclosed space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery, ex-
cessive pressure on the case may cause
battery acid to leak, resulting in personal
injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the battery when
the battery cables are connected.
o The electrical ignition system works with
high voltage.
Never touch these components with the
engine running or the ignition switched
on.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are
absorbed and stored in the onboard canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors
absorbed in the canister are drawn into the
induction system through the purge control
solenoid valve.Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when
the engine coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel
is not taken into the engine. After the engine
warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.
H010B01A-AAT1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEMThe positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. This system supplies filtered fresh air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV
valve into the induction system.
H010A01A-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali-
fornia Air Resources Board.
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 ensure 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
accordance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual.
H010D01A-AAT3. EXHAUST EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEMThe Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls ex-
haust emissions while maintaining good ve-
hicle performace.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (Includ-
ing ORVR: Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow the
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into a
canister while refueling at the gas station,
preventing the escape of fuel vapors into the
atmosphere.)

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
!
!
H020A01A-AATAll Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono-
lith type three-way catalytic converter to
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust
gas. Exhaust gases passing through the cata-
lytic converter cause it to operate at a very
high temperature. The introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline into the ex-
haust may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk
may be reduced by observing the following:system.
WARNING:
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is
your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any
combustible material such as grass,
paper, leaves or rags. These materials
might contact the hot catalytic con-
verter and a fire might result.
HLC5022
Catalytic Converter
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, igni-
tion or multiport electronic fuel injec-
tion.
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 con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust
