!WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an un- sealed container. The presence ofwater in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specifiedtime or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the sys- tem. Brake fluid will cause rapidand serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the af- fected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested andensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of children.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
The system should be checked for leakage at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level is
always between the "MAX" and "MIN"level markings on the fluid reservoir.Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immediately.

The clutch fluid level in the master
cylinder should be checked when per- forming other under bonnet checks.

24AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
SG140A1-E
Condenser
Ensure that the condenser is periodi- cally inspected and that accumula- tions of dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure that theefficiency of the system is not im- paired. Care must be exercised to ensure that the condenser fins are notdamaged during cleaning.
SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest 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 authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem with a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.
! SG140D1-E
Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for
ten minutes or so weekly during peri- ods when the system would not nor- mally be used to ensure that the com-pressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and damaged when the system is next used result- ing in a loss of refrigerant and damageto the compressor.
!
SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tight- ened to avoid contamination from for-eign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un- sealed container. Do not allow pe- troleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubber seals of the system may re- sult.
!
WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If ac- cidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water im-mediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure thatfluid is safely stored away form the reach of children.

Compressor Drive Belt The air conditioning compressor drive belt should be checked to ensure free- dom from damage or excessive wearand correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt deflects by about 0.3 inches (8 mm) when a forceof 98 N is applied to the belt halfway between the compressor and crank- shaft pulleys. Adjustment of the belt should be en- trusted to a Hyundai authorised re- pairer. CRANK PULLEY

(In Front of Blower Unit)
The pollen filter is located in front of
the blower unit behind the glove box. It helps to decrease pollutants from
entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and remove the adjusting pins on both sides of the glove box. 2. Remove the filter cover by pulling
upward the hooks of the filter cover.

You need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490N(50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the as-phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration,have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
SG200A1-E
Fusible Links
The fusible link prevents damage to
the wiring harness in the event of an electrical system malfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicative of a seri- ous overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before a replace-ment link is fitted. WARNING:
Under no circumstances should a fusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of thesame rating. The use of higher rated links or other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.

G200A01FC

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 interference be-tween the belts and other parts of theengine.

Individual Circuit Fuses
The fuse box containing the individual circuit fuses will be found in the back- side of multi box located in the rightside of driver. The multi box is re- moved by pulling lightly and then re- leasing the lid. A fuse rating grid will befound on the reverse side of the cover. In the event of fuse failure, the fuse should be replaced with one of equiva-lent rating. A fuse removal tool is provided within the fuse box to facili- tate replacement.
HFC4010 In the event of a replacement fuse
failing shortly after installation a mal- function within the circuit protected by that fuse is indicated. The circuit should be checked by a Hyundai authorisedrepairer at the first available opportunity.

o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto
skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical as- sistance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milkfollowed by an ant-acid (raw egg ormilk of magnesia) must be drunk. Vomiting should not be induced and medical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in
well ventilated areas from whichnaked lights or sources of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unauthorised persons are kept awayfrom batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+) and negative (-) termi- nals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production isof the "Maintenance Free" type. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.
As the coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condition.

SG220A1-E ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reachesthe upper portion of the scale and thecondenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
SG230A1-E
HFC5004
G230A02FC
Petrol engine
Diesel engine
The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir. NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in ex-tremely cold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions.
FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluidmeeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.

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 escaping fuel from spew-ing 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 Hyundai authorised repairer. G350B01FC
