AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
SG140A1-E
Condenser
Ensure that the condenser is periodi-
cally inspected and that accumula-
tions of dirt, dead insects and leaves
etc, are removed to ensure that the
efficiency of the system is not im-
paired. Care must be exercised to
ensure that the condenser fins are not
damaged during cleaning.
SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera-
tion system running at the coldest
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 authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem with a low refrigerant level may
damage the compressor.

SG140D1-E
Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for
ten minutes or so weekly during peri-
ods when the system would not nor-
mally be used to ensure that the com-
pressor and seals are lubricated. If
this precaution is not observed the
compressor seals may become stuck
to the compressor shaft and damaged
when the system is next used result-
ing in a loss of refrigerant and damage
to the compressor.

SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used.
The reservoir cap must be fully tight-
ened to avoid contamination from for-
eign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un-
sealed container. Do not allow pe-
troleum base fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid since damage to the
rubber seals of the system may re-
sult.
!
WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and
serious damage to paintwork. If ac-
cidental spillage occurs, the affected
area must be rinsed with water im-
mediately. Do not allow brake fluid
to come into contact with the eyes
or to be ingested and ensure that
fluid is safely stored away form the
reach of children.
