DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
The air conditioning compressor drive
belt should be checked to ensure free-
dom from damage or excessive wear
and correct tension. The belt tension is
correct when the belt deflects by about
0.3 inches (8 mm) (1.1L: 5 ~ 5.5 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 refrigera-
tion system running at the coldest
setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the
sight glass on the top of the receiver
dryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insuffi-
cient, a flow of bubbles will be ob-
served through the sight glass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfac-
tory, no bubbles will be observed
through the sight glass.

with a low refrigerant level may dam-
age 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 precaution
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 refriger-
ant and damage to the compressor.
