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

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.

Checking the Air Conditioning
Operation

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.

To Replace the Fluid

Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT
3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. The
reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or moisture.

NOTE:

Do not allow any other liquids to contami-
nate 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 imme-
diately.
