Checking the Air Conditioning Opera-
tion
1. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioning set
at the maximum cold 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
extended periods of time with a low refrig-
erant level may damage the compressor.

Lubrication
To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the
system, the air conditioning should be run for at
least 10 minutes each week. This is particularly
important during cool weather when the air
conditioning system is not otherwise in use.

When the air conditioning is being used regu-
larly, the compressor drive belt tension should
be checked at least once a month with the
engine turned off.
To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaft
and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your
finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt
anymore than 1/3 of an inch. If you have the
instruments to check it, with a force of 22
lb.(98N), the deflection should be 0.315 inches
0.315 in.
(approx 8.0 mm). If the belt is too loose, have it
(8mm)
adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.
