DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
When the air conditioning is being used
regularly, the compressor drive belt
tension should be checked at least
once a month.
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 8.0 mm. If you have the
instruments to check it with a force of
98N (22 lb.), the deflection should be
approx. 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). If the belt
is too loose, have it adjusted by your
Hyundai dealer.

To check the steering wheel freeplay,
stop the car with the wheels pointed
straight ahead and gently move the
steering wheel back and forth. Use
very light finger pressure and be sen-
sitive to changes in resistance that
mark the limits of the freeplay. If the
freeplay is greater than specified, have
it inspected by your Hyundai dealer
and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

paired if necessary.
