Compressor Drive Belt
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.
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.

Checking the Refrigerant
G140D01A
The air conditioning compressor drive
belt should be checked to ensure free-
dom from damage or excessive wear
and correct tension. The belt tension
is correct when the belt deflects by
about 0.3 inches (8 mm) when a force
of 98 N is applied to the belt halfway
between the compressor and crank-
shaft pulleys.
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.
Adjustment of the belt should be en-
trusted to a Hyundai authorised re-
pairer.
!
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem with a low refrigerant level may
damage the compressor.
