Compressor Drive Belt
The air conditioning compressor drive belt should
be checked to ensure freedom 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
crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of the belt should
be entrusted to a Hyundai dealer.

Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for several
minutes with the refrigeration system running
at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not
cold, have the air conditioning system in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning system for ex-
tended periods of time with a low refrigerant
level may damage the compressor.

Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for ten minutes
or so weekly during periods when the system
would not normally be used to ensure that the
compressor and seals are lubricated. If this pre-
caution is not observed the compressor seals
may become stuck to the compressor shaft and
damaged when the system is next used resulting
in a loss of refrigerant and damage to the com-
pressor.
