1. Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for
several minutes with the air conditioner 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.

tended periods of time with a low refrigerant
level may damage the compressor.

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

When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, 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 the belt is too
loose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer.
