medical attention.

AIR CONDITIONING CARE

G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked
periodically for accumulation of dirt,
dead insects, leaves, etc. These can
interfere with maximum cooling effi-
ciency. When removing such accu-
mulations, brush or hose them away
carefully to avoid bending the cooling
fans.

Checking the Air Conditioning
Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at a
fast idle for several minutes with
the air conditioning set at the maxi-
mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash
vents is not cold, have the air con-
ditioning system inspected by your
Hyundai dealer.
!
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time
with a low refrigerant level may
damage the compressor.
G140C01A-AAT
Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the
seals in the system, the air condition-
ing should be run for at least 10
minutes each week. This is particu-
larly important during cool weather
when the air conditioning system is
not otherwise in use.
