Keeping the Condenser Clean
Checking the Air Conditioning
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.

Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioning set
at the maximum cold setting.
If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected by your Hyundai dealer.

Running the air conditioning system for
extended periods of time with a low refrig-
erant level may damage the compressor.

G140D01A
When the air conditioning is being used regu-
larly, the compressor drive belt tension should
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
anymore than 1/3 of an inch. If you have the
instruments to check it, with a force of 22 lb.

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.
