CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles

is being driven in severe conditions
such as dusty, rough roads, more
frequent climate control air filter in-
spections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased,
the system should be checked at an
authorized dealer.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060D01A-AATo Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
ConnectionsCheck the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have
a trained techincian, replace any dam-
aged or leaking parts immediately.
F060C01A-AATo Fuel FilterA clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, damage
the emission system and cause hard start-
ing. If an excessive amount of foreign
matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the
filter may require replacement more fre-
quently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine
for several minutes, and check for leaks
at the connections.
Fuel filters should be installed by trained
technicians.F060M01A-AATo Engine Oil and FilterThe engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the car is being
driven in severe conditions, more fre-
quent oil and filter changes are required.
F060H01A-AATo Air Cleaner FilterA Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is replaced.F060G01A-AATo Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler CapThe vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is
correctly replaced.
F060F01A-AATo Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation
HosesInspect the surface of hoses for evidence
of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions, and excessive swelling indi-
cate deterioration. Particular attention
should be paid to examine those hose
surfaces nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with any
heat source, sharp edges or moving com-
ponent which might cause heat damage
or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and cou-
plings, to make sure they are secure, and
that no leaks are present. Hoses should
be replaced immediately if there is any
evidence of deterioration or damage.
F060B01A-AATo Drive BeltsInspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation
and replace if necessary. Drive belts
should be checked periodically for proper
tension and adjusted as necessary.F060J01A-AATo Spark PlugsMake sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times 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 engine cool-
ant temperature decreases, the fan will
automatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the fin-
ish of your car. If you spill engine
coolant on the car, wash it off thor-
oughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has alumi-
num engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol base
coolant to prevent corrosion and
freezing.
Do not use hard water. Hard water
can cause engine damage from cor-
rosion, overheating or freezing.
!
CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a
proper air filter in place can result in
excessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake. These may re-
sult in damage to the air cleaner
filter.

G140C01A-AATLubricationTo 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 conditioning sys-
tem is not otherwise in use.
2. Pull out the climate control air filter with
the hooks on both sides pressed.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to press the hooks in the
opposite direction.

CHANGING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL AIR FILTERB145A02MC-GAT(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)The climate control air filter is located in
front of the evaporator unit behind the
glove box.
It helps to decrease the amount of pollut-
ants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and remove the
adjusting pins on both sides of the
glove box.
