exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is
replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long
time.

POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at regular
intervals. The power steering hoses should be
replaced if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of
the hose could cause premature failure.
NOTE:
Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
2. Pump the hand pump until there are no more
bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air plug.
When doing this, place a cloth around the air
plug to prevent the escaping fuel from spew-
ing about.
3. Tighten the air bleed bolt when there are no
more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump be-
comes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no
leakage of fuel.
If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING:
(1) Do not smoke or have any other open
flame near the vehicle while bleeding the
fuel system.

1. Loosen the air bleed bolt at the top of the fuel
filter with a flat-bladed screwdriver or equiva-
lent.
The power steering fluid level should be checked
daily.
To check the power steering fluid level, be sure
the ignition is "OFF", then check to make cer-
tain that the power steering fluid level is be-
tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on
the fluid reservoir.
NOTE:
Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the
engine is started in extremely cold condi-
tions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops dur-
ing warm up, there is no abnormal function
in the system. If is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluid.
