DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 9- 13
G140B01S-DAT
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast
idle for several minutes with the air
conditioning set at one of its colder
settings.
2. Open the bonnet and look through
the small window on the top of the
receiver dryer (this is a cylindrical
black object attached to the dash
panel on the right side). If there are
continuous bubbles or foam pass-
ing the window, the refrigerant is
low and the system should be re-
charged by your Hyundai dealer.
!
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time
with a low refrigerant level may dam-
age the compressor.

Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the
seals in the system, the air condition-
ing should be run for at least 10 min-
utes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when
the air conditioning system is not oth-
erwise in use.

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 effi-
ciency. When removing such accumu-
lations, brush or hose them away care-
fully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
Replacement of the filter drier
To comply with local Australian State
codes and Laws the filter drier must be
replaced if the system has been opened
to the atmosphere for any reason or if
during servicing no refrigerant is found
in the system.
