27CHECKING THE FREEPLAY
G160A01A-GAT
Clutch pedal
G160A01E
6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
With the engine off, press lightly onthe clutch pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedalfreeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by yourHyundai dealer and adjusted or re- paired if necessary.
G150A01A-GAT
Steering wheel
G150A01FC
To check the steering wheel freeplay,
stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sen-sitive to changes in resistance that mark the limits of the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than specified, haveit inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if neces- sary. 30 mm (1.18 in.)
3. Replace the air conditioner filter with a new one.
4. Installation is the reverse order of disassembly.
CAUTION:
Be sure to install the air condi- tioner filter in the direction of thearrow sign. Otherwise, it may cause noise or deterioration.

29CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
G200A01A-AAT
Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical
circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing 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 sys-tem and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. Good
Bad

HFC4010
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amper- age rating. Never use a piece ofwire or a higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious dam- age and create a fire hazard.

At the scheduled maintenance inspec-
tion, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evi- dence of deterioration and replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked
to be sure there is no interferencebetween the belts and other parts ofthe engine.
The fuse box for the lights and otherelectrical accessories will be found inthe backside of the multi box located on the instrument panel to the left side of the driver.

To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF",then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering pump may be heard im- mediately after the engine is startedin extremely cold conditions (be- low - 20°C). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteris- tic in extremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe 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 coolant temperature decreases thefan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is high. G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser cooling fan should come on automatically whenever the air conditioning is in operation. G230A03A-GAT

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re-placed if there is severe surface crack- ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora- tion of the hose could cause prema-ture failure.
2. Pump the hand pump until there are no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air pipe. When doing this, place a cloth around the air pipe to prevent the escapingfuel from spewing about.
3. Replace the air cap when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there
is no leakage of fuel. If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer. G350B01FC
Air pipeG350B01FC-GAT
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM (Diesel Engine)
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illus- tration if the fuel supply is exhaustedduring travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
1. Remove the air cap with pushing the button.

following:
Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Span-
ner, Screw driver

!WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effective-ness, steering control and trac- tion. When replacing tires, never mix radial and bias-ply tires onthe same car. If you replace ra- dial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizesmay cause unusual handling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury or prop-erty damage.
I090A01S-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tireshould be replaced when these ap- pear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Alwaysreplace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim widthand offset must meet Hyundai speci- fication. Wear indicator
