6-14 G200A01A-AAT CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSESReplacing a Fusible Link 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.

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCE
SSA6180A
36 mm (1.42 in.)
You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine running, have yourhelper press down on the brake pedal severaltimes and then hold it down with a force of about490N (50kg, 110lbs). The brake pedal clear-ance is the distance from the top surface of thebrake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under thefloor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration, have it in-spected by your Hyundai dealer and adjustedor repaired if necessary.

CHECKING DRIVE BELTS
Water pump pulley
Crankshaft pulley
Drive 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 deteriorationand replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure
there is no interference between the belts andother parts of the engine. After a belt is re-placed, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slackresulting from initial stretching after use.

CAUTION: A burned-out fuse indicates that there is a
problem in the electrical circuit. If you re- place a fuse and it blows as soon as theaccessory is turned on, the problem is seri-ous and should be referred to a Hyundaidealer for diagnosis and repair. Never re-place a fuse with anything except a fusewith the same or a lower amperage rating. Ahigher capacity fuse could cause damageand create a fire hazard. Good
Burned out
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuseshould be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuseclip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai deal-er. If you do not have a spare fuse, you maybe able to borrow a fuse of the same orlower rating from an accessory you cantemporarily get along without (the radio orcigarette lighter, for example). Always re-member to replace the borrowed fuse.
G200B01A-AAT
Replacing Accessory Fuse
The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
accessories will be found low on the dashboardon the driver's side. Inside the box you will finda list showing the circuits protected by eachfuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse couldbe the reason. If the fuse has burned out, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in thefuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly.
To check the power steering fluid level, be sure
the ignition is "OFF", then check to make cer- tain that the power steering fluid level is be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (below -20°C). If the noise stops dur-ing warm up, there is no abnormal functionin the system. This is due to a power steer-ing fluid characteristic in extremely coldconditions.
G230A01X
The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it onyourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid onyourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continueto rinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon aspossible.
While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G210B01A-AAT
Checking 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 batteryterminals are dry, cover them with a light coat-ing of grease.
G220A01A-AAT
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS
WARNING: The radiator fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operateeven when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injuredby a rotating fan blade. As the coolant tem-perature decreases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning isin operation.
