AIR CONDITIONER CARE
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioner condenser (and engine ra-
diator) should be checked periodically for accu-
mulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These
can interfere with maximum cooling efficiency.
When removing such accumulations, brush or
hose them away carefully to avoid bending the
cooling fans.

When the airconditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be
checked at least once a month.
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 Ib.),
the deflection should be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315
inches). If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted
by your Hyundai dealer.

tended periods of time with a low refrlgerant
