CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES Replacing a Fusible Link
G200A01A
Bad
Good
A 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 systemdrawing 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 foreasy inspection. CAUTION: When replacing a fusible link, never use anything but a new fusible link with thesame or lower amperage rating. Never use apiece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid which is corrosive and poisonous. Hy- drogen gas is emitted from the battery whichis explosive when combined with oxygen.The following precautions must be strictlyobserved to avoid personal injury or dam-age to the vehicle.
o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medicalassistance sought. o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious
amounts of water or milk followed by anantacid (raw egg or milk of magnesia) mustbe drunk. Vomiting should not be inducedand medical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well ven- tilated areas from which naked lights orsources of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unautho- rized persons are kept away from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+)and negative (-) terminals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production is of the“Maintenance Free” type. 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 cooling fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on auto- matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7-1
H010A01A-GAT EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (Not all models) 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. ZH000A1-A
7. EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEMS
H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control Sys-
tem
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crank- case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, which then pass through thePCV valve and into the induction system.
H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control SystemThe Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls exhaust
emission while maintaining good vehicle perfor-mance.
H010C02A-GAT
2. Evaporative Emission
Control System (Not all models)
The Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.
Canister While the engine is inoperative, fuel vapours
generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the onboard canister. When the en-gine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in thecanister are drawn into the induction systemthrough the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECM; when the engine coolant temper- ature 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.
H020A01ACatalytic Converter
H020A01A-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER (Not all models) The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust
emission control system. Its purpose is to re- move certain engine emission products from
the engine’s exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system.

7-2EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
H020B01A-GAT About the Catalytic ConverterExhaust gases passing through the catalytic
converter cause it to operate at very high tem- peratures. As a result, the introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline may cause it to
overheat 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 excessive
loading 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 could
come 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.
