When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be
checked at least once a month.

To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the
car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and
gently move the steering wheel back and forth.
Use very light finger pressure and be sensitive
to changes in resistance that mark the limits of
the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than
specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai
dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.
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.
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 instru-
ments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.),
the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315
in.). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted by
your Hyundai dealer.
