of  winter result  in greater  wear  and
other problems. To minimize the prob-

battery  and  cables  as  described in

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary

may be necessary to use snow tires or
to install  tire  chains on  your tires.  If
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select  tires equivalent in  size and
type  of the  original equipment  tires.

the safety  and handling  of your  car.

Your  Hyundai is  delivered with  high
quality ethylene  glycol coolant in the

helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system,lubricatesthewaterpumpand
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace
or  replenish  your  coolant  in  accor-

in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freez-
ing point is sufficient for the tempera-
tures anticipated during the winter.
In some  climates it is  recommended
that a lower  viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during  cold weather. See
Section 9 for recommendations. If you
aren't sure what weight oil you should
use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
