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. Seal
damage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake
fluid. It can damage your vision if
you get it in your eyes. It will also
damage 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 can
interfere with maximum cooling effi-
ciency. When removing such accu-
mulations, brush or hose them away
carefully to avoid bending the cooling
fans.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH
FLUID
G130A01A-AAT
To Check the Clutch Fluid
HJM5007
The clutch fluid level in the master
cylinder should be checked when
performing other under hood services.
The system should be checked for
leakage at the same time. Check to
make certain that the clutch fluid level
is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" level markings on the fluid res-
ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi-
cates a leak in the clutch system
which should be inspected and re-
paired immediately. Consult your
Hyundai dealer.

Checking the Air Conditioning
Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at
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.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time
with a low refrigerant level may
damage the compressor.
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.
When the air conditioning is being
used regularly, the compressor drive
belt tension should be checked at
least once a month.
To check the drive belt tension, press
down on the belt halfway between the
engine crankshaft and compressor
pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you
should not be able to deflect this belt
anymore than 8.0 mm. If you have
the instruments to check it with a
force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflection
should be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315
inches). If the belt is too loose, have
it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.
