CHECKING DRIVE BELTSDrive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension and adjusted if
necessary. At the same time, belts should
be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or
other evidence of deterioration and re-
placed if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be
sure there is no interference between the
belts and other parts of the engine. After a
belt is replaced, the new belt should be
adjusted again after two or three weeks to
eliminate slack resulting from initial stretch-
ing after use.G190A01A-AAT

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCEG180A01A-AATYou need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine running,
have your helper press down on the brake
pedal several times and then hold it down
with a force of about 110 lbs (50 kg, 490 N).
The brake pedal clearance is the distance
from the top surface of the brake pedal to
the asphalt 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 necessary.
2.95 in. (75 mm)
G170A01A-AATBRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAYWith the engine off, press down on the
brake pedal several times to reduce the
vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down slowly
on the brake pedal until you feel a change
in resistance. This is the brake pedal free-
play.
The free-play should be within the limits
specified in the illustration above. If it is not,
have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer
and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

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
conditions (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 conditions.

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUST-
MENTG290A03O-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 several times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in.
(3m) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (ex-
cept 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.
G250A01A-AATFOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
YOUR HYUNDAIIf you desire additional information about
maintaining 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 dealer-
ship technicians and while it is highly tech-
nical 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
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure. Recommended FluidUse PSF-3 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.

WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries from an accident caused
by tire failure or loss of vehicle con-
trol:
o Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of brak-
ing effectiveness, steering con-
trol, and traction.
o Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in your
tires. This can lead to uneven
wear and tire failure.
o When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.
HJM5031 I090A04JM-AAT
WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
The original tires on your car have tread
wear indicators . The location of tread
wear indicators is shown by the "TWI"
or " " marks, etc., The tread wear
indicators appear when the tread depth
is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire should be
replaced when these appear as a solid
bar across two or more grooves of the
tread. Always replace your tires with
those of the recommended size. If you
change wheels, the new wheel's rim
width and offset must meet Hyundai
specification.
TWI indicator 0.06 in. (1.6 mm)
o Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics and poor vehicle control,
resulting in a serious accident.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor ve-
hicle control.WARNING:
