scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,
and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake
system including the parking brake lever and
cables. For detailed service procedures, refer
to the Shop Manual.

cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged
parts.

tions for leakage and damage. Check air con-
ditioning performance according to the relevant
shop manual if necessary.F070P01A-AATo Driveshafts and BootsCheck the drive shafts, boots and clamps for

If you notice anything that does not operate
correctly or appears to be functioning correctly,
inspect it carefully and seek assistance from
your Hyundai dealer if service is needed.

G140C01A-AATLubricationTo lubricate the compressor and the seals in the
system, the air conditioning should be run for at
least 10 minutes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when the air
conditioning system is not otherwise in use.
!
G120E02A-AATAdding Brake Fluid
WARNING:Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage
your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a
sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can
or reservoir to remain open any longer than
required. This will prevent entry of dirt and
moisture which can damage the brake sys-
tem and cause improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then
unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the
recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not
overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-
voir and tighten.
AIR CONDITIONING CARE!
G140A01A-AATKeeping the Condenser CleanThe air conditioning condenser (and engine
radiator) should be checked periodically for
accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc.
These can interfere with maximum cooling ef-
ficiency. When removing such accumulations,
brush or hose them away carefully to avoid
bending the cooling fans.G140B01A-AATChecking the Air Conditioning Opera-
tion1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioning set
at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system for
extended periods of time with a low refrig-
erant level may damage the compressor.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELG230A03A-AATThe power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly. To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check
to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level
markings on the 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 - 4°F). If the noise stops during
warm up, there is no abnormal function in
the system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS!
!
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. 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 de-
creases the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.
G210B03A-AATChecking the BatteryKeep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro-
sion around the battery posts or terminals
should be removed using a solution of house-
hold baking soda and warm water. After the
battery terminals are dry, cover them with a light
coating of grease.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Battery posts, terminals, and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Batteries also contain other chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer. Wash hands after handling.
G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling FanThe condenser cooling fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is in
operation.G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.

G250A01A-AATFOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAIIf you desire additional information about main-
taining and servicing your Hyundai, you may
purchase a factory Shop Manual at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department. This is the same
manual used by dealership technicians and
while it is highly technical it can be useful in
obtaining a better understanding of your car and
how it works.
G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be replaced
if there is severe surface cracking, pulling,
scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose
could cause premature failure. Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENTG290A02O-AATBefore performing aiming adjustment, make
sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press
the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-
eral times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3m)
from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for
full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and
spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driver
or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the head light lenses and turn on the
headlights (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.
