Off Season Maintenance
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.
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.
!
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.
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.
!
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.
!
CAUTION:
Running the  air conditioning  sys-
tem with a low refrigerant level may
damage the compressor.
