Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
Operation
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.

several minutes with the air conditioning set
at the maximum  cold setting.

not cold,  have the  air conditioning  system
inspected by  your Hyundai  dealer.

be  checked  at least  once  a  month  with  the
engine turned off.
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

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.
(98N),
the deflection  should  be 0.315  inches
(approx 8.0 mm). If the belt is too loose, have it
adjusted by  your Hyundai dealer.
