DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Speeding, rapid accel-
eration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns are potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest  extent. Sudden  brake  applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause  skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance  between
the vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, apply
the brake gently.

ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be
able  to  thaw  it out  by  using  a  heated  key.
Handle the heated key with care to avoid burn-
ing your fingers.
Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional  burdens on the battery
system. Visually inspect the battery and cables
as described in Section 6. The level of charge
in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai
dealer or a service station.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat
the immobilizer key  over 80°C to open  the
frozen  lock, it  may  cause  damage to  the
transponder in its head.

Change to "Winter  Weight" Oil if
It should be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving force, but
will not prevent side skids.
Necessary
In  some  climates it  is  recommended  that  a
lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used dur-
ing cold weather. See Section 9 for recommen-
dations. If you aren't  sure what weight oil you
should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160H01A-AAT
Use Approved Anti-Freeze  in Window
NOTE:
Washer System
Tire chains  are not  legal  in all  provinces.
Check  province   laws   before  fitting   tire
chains.
To keep the water  in the window washer sys-
tem from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets.  Do not  use  engine  coolant or  other
types of anti-freeze as these may damage the
finish.
C160F01A-AAT
Check Spark Plugs and  Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-
tion  6 and  replace  them if  necessary.   Also
check all ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in
any way.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality  Ethylene Glycol
Coolant
Your  Hyundai  is  delivered with  high  quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It
is the only type of coolant that should be used
because it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing  system,  lubricates  the  water  pump  and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-
ish your coolant in accordance with the  main-
tenance schedule in Section 5.  Before winter,
have  your  coolant  tested  to  assure that  its
freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.

Don't Let Your Parking  Brake Freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in  the engaged position.   This is  most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if  the  brakes are  wet.  If  there  is  a risk  the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-

To Keep Locks from  Freezing
To  keep  the  locks  from  freezing,  squirt  an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a  lock is covered with ice,  squirt it
with an approved  de-icing fluid to remove the
