underside of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when not removed immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solu- tion. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces. E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corro- sive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax. Use a good quality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as well as the paint. E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. CLEANING THE INTERIOR E040A01A-AAT To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not removed, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean- ers. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are: o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clear water. o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and the surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem- peratures. For example, if you have your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if the car is going to be placed in a high- temperature paint booth. CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE E040B01A-AAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If installed) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and dirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or it may work into the surface of the leather, caus- ing damage. Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned when necessary. Washing leather thoroughly with soap and water will keep your leather lustrous, beautiful and ensure you have many years of wear. Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild soap and lukewarm water, work up a good lather. Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do this as often as the leather becomes soiled. During tanning operations, sufficient oils are incorporated through processing that none need be applied during the life of the leather. Oil applied to the finished surface will in no way help the leather and may do more harm than good. Varnishes and furniture polishes should never be used under any conditions. ANY QUESTIONS? E050A01A-AAT If you have any questions about the care of your car, consult your Hyundai dealer. 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the in- side of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring. Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or powder. Read the instructions and follow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer's direc- tions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These cleaners work best when the carpet is kept as dry as possible. E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra- sive materials on the seat belts as this may weaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex- cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage and replace them if necessary. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Maintenance Intervals ................................................... 5-2 Scheduled Maintenance ................................................ 5-4 Maintenance under Severe Usage Conditions ............. 5-6 Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Items .............. 5-7 5 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS MAINTENANCE INTERVALS F010A01A-AAT Service Requirements F010B01A-AAT Maintenance Requirements F010C01A-AAT Specified Scheduled Procedures To ensure that you receive the greatest number of miles of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be per- formed. Although careful design and engineer- ing have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost importance. It is your responsibility to have these mainte- nance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warranties covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with your new vehicle provides further information about these warranties. The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas: o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance These are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they be performed by the trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be per- formed at any qualified service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs or re- placements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor may be used without affecting your warranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Hand- book provides further information about your warranty coverage. F010D02A-AAT General Checks F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips These are the regular checks you should per- form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page 6-5. F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it your- self, see Section 6. o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced, keep copies of the service records in your glovebox. This will help ensure that you can document that the required procedures have been performed to keep your warranties in effect. This is especially important when service is not performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. o If you choose to do your own maintenance and repairs, you may find it helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this publication may be purchased at your Hyundai dealer's parts department. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS F020A02Y-AAT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS o Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced or suspected. o Receipts for all emission control system services should be retained to demonstrate compliance with conditions of the emissions system warranty. o After 120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), continue to follow the prescribed main- tenance intervals. o For severe usage maintenance require- ments, see page 5-6 of this section. 5 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE F030A01A-AAT The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance.

It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions. G030C02A-AAT To Check the Oil Level 2.4 DOHC 2.7 V6 G030B01A-AAT Recommended Oil Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off. Wait five minutes , then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be between the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range. G030D01A-AAT Adding Oil HSM389 2.4 DOHC 2.7 V6 3.5 V6 HSM395 SH, SG or SG/CD (API) multi-grade and fuel efficient oil is recommended. HSM427 HSM387 3.5 V6 CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER G040A03A-GAT 2.4 DOHC 2.7 V6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows: If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil: 3.5 V6 HSM426 1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter- 2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not clockwise. overfill. 3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 quart of oil. 1. Park the car on level ground and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle). 2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap. 3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the drain plug by turning it counterclockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug. WARNING: Be very careful when draining the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you! HSM394 G040A02L ! PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Used engine oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Al- ways protect your skin by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil. CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT G050A01A-AAT WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to the touch. WARNING: Used motor oil may cause irritation or can- cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning it clockwise. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m 6. 5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter- clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A certain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan in place underneath it. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the carton or on the filter itself. Do not over-tighten. (Tightening torque : 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m) Be sure that the mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate the new gasket on the filter with clean engine oil before installation. 7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap- ter 9 for engine oil capacity. 8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter. 9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level. NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptable manner. It is suggested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station for reclamation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it in with the household trash. G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant G050C01A-AAT To Check the Coolant Level G050D02A-AAT To Change the Engine Coolant DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system must be maintained with the correct concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the following table. Ambient Engine Coolant concentration temperature °F (°C) 5 (-15) -13 (-25) -31 (-35) -49 (-45) Antifreeze solution 35% 40% 50% 60% Water 65% 60% 50% 40% G050C01O The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool- ant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool. If the level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "L" and "F". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason. The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. CAUTION: Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water. 1. Park the car on level ground, set the park- ing brake and remove the radiator cap when cool. G050D01O 2. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with- out pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pressure remaining in the cool- ing system. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclock- wise. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 0 3. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow all the engine coolant to drain from the cooling system, then securely close the drain cock. 4. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriate quan- tity of coolant to the radiator. 5. Fill the radiator with clean demineralized or distilled water. Continue to add clean dem- ineralized or distilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck. G050D02O 6. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "L" and "F". 7. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the drain cocks are fully closed and not leaking. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not run- ning. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature de- creases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. SPARK PLUGS G060A02Y-AAT 2.4 DOHC 2.7 V6 / 3.5 V6 HSM392 Your engine was originally equipped with plati- num-tipped spark plugs. Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last longer than conventional type spark plugs and can be identified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped spark plugs. G060B02O-AAT Replacing the Spark Plugs G060C0IO-AAT Changing the Spark Plugs The spark plugs should be changed at the intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5 or whenever engine performance indicates they should be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor- mance include engine misfiring under load, loss of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs are replaced, always use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or engine damage. NOTE: o When replacing the spark plug, genuine Hyundai replacement parts are recom- mended. o It is recommended that the spark plug should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. (2.7 L, 3.5 L) Recommended Spark Plugs: Type RN10PYP4 PGR5C-11 (NGK) RC10PYPB4 PFR5N-11 (NGK) (CHAMPION) (CHAMPION) Remark 2.4 L 2.7 L / 3.5 L G060C01O You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the engine is cold. Always change one spark plug at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires mixed up. 1. Remove the center cover (2.4 L) on the engine rocker cover. 2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has accumulated around the base of the spark plug so it cannot fall into the cylinder when the spark plug is removed. 3. To remove the spark plug cable, pull straight up on the insulated connector, not the cable. Pulling on the cable may damage the carbon core conductor. DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 1 G060C02O WARNING: It is recommended that the engine be cool or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you could burn yourself on the insulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself. 4. When preparing to remove the old spark plug, guide the socket down over the spark plug, being careful not to damage the ce- ramic insulator. 5. To remove the old spark plug, turn the wrench handle in a counterclockwise direc- tion. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 2 6. To install the new spark plug, guide the socket down over the spark plug, being careful not to damage the ceramic insulator. CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER G070A01E-AAT WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES G080A02A-AAT G060C03O NOTE: Spark plugs should be tightened to speci- fication. Over-tightening can damage the threads in the aluminum cylinder head. Also, leaving them too loose can cause the spark plug to get very hot and possibly result in damage to the engine. 7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulated connector directly down onto the electrode. Check to be sure it has snapped into place and can't fall off. G070A01O To change the filter, unsnap the clips around the cover. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place. Genuine Hyundai Replacement Parts are recommended. CAUTION: o Operating your vehicle without a proper air filter in place can result in excessive engine wear. o When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter the air intake. These may result in dam- age to the air cleaner filter. HEF119 The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu- mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re- placement parts or their equivalent. CAUTION: o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass. o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR G090A01O-AAT CAUTION: o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish. o The washer should not be operated if the washer reservoir is empty. This can dam- age the washer fluid pump. G090A01O The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer system. A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weather or whenever the washer system is in more frequent use. The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.59 U.S. quarts (3.4 Liters). DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL (MANUAL) G100A02O-AAT 1 3 Filler plug Drain plug HSM435 Transaxle lubricant in the manual transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/90 (API GL-4) or EQUIVALENT in the manual transaxle. Manual Transaxle Oil Capacity The oil capacity of the manual transaxle is 2.43 U.S. quarts (2.3 liters). Park the car on level ground with the engine off. 1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler plug by turning it counterclock- wise and remove it with your fingers. 2. Use your finger or suitable tool to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it is not, check for leaks before adding oil. To refill the transaxle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill. 3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securely with the wrench. (AUTOMATIC) CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID G110A01E-AAT Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is basically red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace based upon the changing color. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section 5. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 4 WARNING: It is always better to check the transaxle oil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hot engine or exhaust parts. G100B02A-AAT To Check the Manual Transaxle Fluid Level SSA6100B G110B03A-AAT Recommended Fluid G110D02O-AAT To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 5 Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF or DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty. G110C01O-AAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 8.98 U.S. quarts (8.5 liters). WARNING: The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot so you should exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure. HSM425 2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then remove it again. Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill. 3. C090A01O Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engine idling. While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its other positions — "R", "N", "D" — and then return to "N" or "P". With the engine still idling: 1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 6 CHECKING THE BRAKES G120A01A-AAT Fluid level should be within "HOT" range CAUTION: Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not run- ning. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature de- creases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. HJM5044 G120B01A-AAT Checking the Brake Fluid Level WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed imme- diately. G120C02A-AAT Recommended Brake Fluid Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on the container. G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill. CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 7 G120E02A-AAT Adding Brake Fluid G130A01A-AAT To Check the Clutch Fluid G130B02A-AAT To Replace the Fluid Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to contami- nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result. WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if you get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed imme- diately. HSM158 The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other un- der hood services. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired imme- diately. Consult your Hyundai dealer. HSM158 WARNING: Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will prevent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser- voir and tighten. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 1 8 AIR CONDITIONING CARE G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean G140C01A-AAT Lubrication 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 ef- ficiency. When removing such accumulations, brush or hose them away carefully to avoid bending the cooling fans. 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. 3.5 V6 Power steering pulley Generator G140D02A-AAT Checking the Compressor Drive Belt 2.7 V6 2.4 DOHC Auto tensioner G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Opera- tion 1.
