CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT
! CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it issuggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should bechecked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule inSection 5.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system
with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even af- ter the engine stopped. The fuel jetproduced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers shouldnot move than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is run-ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the enginecoolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.Fluid level should be within this range
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill. C090A03FC

G130B02A-AAT To Replace the Fluid Recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid con-tamination from foreign matter or moisture. NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to contaminate the brake fluid. Sealdamage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if you get it in your eyes. It will alsodamage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed im- mediately.
AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans. G140B01A-AAT
Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at a
fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maxi-mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash
vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by your Hyundai dealer. G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the
seals in the system, the air condition-ing should be run for at least 10 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the air conditioning system is not otherwise in use. CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.

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

The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly.

If the cause of the overheating cannot be readily established, the assistanceof a Hyundai authorised repairer should be sought.
!WARNING:
The engine cooling system is pres- surized and removal of the radiatorcap when the engine is hot may cause hot water and steam to be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns and scalding. The radiator cap must only be removed when the en- gine has cooled. Do not add coldwater to a hot engine to avoid the possibility of engine damage. The use of plain water in the coolingsystem is not recommended since the aluminium components of the cooling system require the use of acorrosion inhibitor found in the rec- ommended Ethylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions. SB215C1-E SPEEDOMETER

The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed in both miles and kilometres per hour.
The tachometer registers the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute(R.P.M.).

B730A01L-EAT Operation Tips
o To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control at "Recircula- tion". Be sure to return the control to"Fresh" when the irritation has passed to keep fresh air in the ve- hicle. This will help keep the driveralert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just aheadof the windscreen. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other obstruc-tions.
o To prevent interior fog on the
windscreen, set the air intake controlto the fresh air ( ) position, and fan speed to the desired position, turn on the air conditioning system,and adjust temperature control to desired temperature.AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
B740A01S-EAT Air Conditioning Switch (Not all models)
HFC2069
To remove the frost or exterior fog on the windscreen;
o Set the air flow control to the defrost (
) position. (The A/C will turn on
automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated.)
o Set the temperature control to warm.
o Set the fan speed control to position
"3" or "4".
NOTE: When the A/C is operated continu- ously on the floor-defrost level (
) or
defrost level (
), it may cause fog to
form on the exterior windscreen. If this occurs, set the air flow control tothe face level position (
)and fan
speed control to the low position. HFC2108
The air conditioning is turned on or off by pushing the A/C button on the heat- ing/air conditioning control panel.
