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
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.

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 com-
pressor and crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of
the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai dealer.
NOTE:
The compressor drive belt tension for diesel
engine is adjusted automatically.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
Condenser
Ensure that the condenser is periodically in-
spected and that accumulations of dirt, dead
insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure
that the efficiency of the system is not impaired.
Care must be exercised to ensure that the
condenser fins are not damaged during clean-
ing.

Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for several
minutes with the refrigeration system run-
ning at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is
not cold, have the air conditioning system
inspected 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.
