REMOVAL OF WATER

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the
power steering hose connections for
fluid leakage at regular intervals. The
power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface crack-
ing, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause prema-
ture failure.
G300A02MC-GAT
(DIESEL ENGINE)
If the fuel filter warning light illuminates
during driving, it indicates that water
has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this
occurs, remove the water as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
It is recommended that water accu-
mulated in the fuel filter should be
removed by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
NOTE:
o Grinding noise from the power
steering pump may be heard im-
mediately after the engine is started
in extremely cold conditions (be-
low - 20°C). If the noise stops
during warm up, there is no ab-
normal function in the system. It
is due to a power steering fluid
characteristic in extremely cold
conditions.
o Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is
empty.
!
WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away any
water drained out in this manner,
because the fuel mixed in the water
might be ignited and result in a fire.
Extracting air in the fuel filter
If you drove until you have no fuel left or
if you replaced the fuel filter, be sure to
extract air in the fuel system as it
makes you difficult to start the engine.
1. Remove the air extract nozzle cap
on the fuel filter.
2. Pump up and down until the fuel
flows out of the plug opening.
NOTE:
o Use cloths when you extract air so
that the fuel is not sprayed around.
o Clean the fuel around the fuel filter
or the injection pump before start-
ing the engine to prevent fire.
o Finally, check each part if the fuel
is leaking.
