Lubrication

To 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.

Adding 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

!

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 ef-
ficiency. When removing such accumulations,
brush or hose them away carefully to avoid
bending the cooling fans.

Checking the Air Conditioning Opera-
tion

1. 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.
