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.
To keep the water in the window washer system
from freezing, add an approved window washer
anti-freeze solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on  the   container. Window  washer anti-
freeze is  available from  Hyundai dealers  and
most  auto  parts  outlets.  Do not  use  engine
coolant or  other types  of anti-freeze as  these
may damage the paint finish.
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up  under  the  fenders and  interfere  with  the
steering. When driving in  severe winter condi-
tions where this may happen, you should peri-
odically check underneath the car to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the steering
components is  not  obstructed.

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.
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-
rarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic) or in  first or reverse gear  (manual
transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll.  Then release the parking  brake.
Depending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your  car, you should carry  appropri-
ate emergency equipment.  Some of the items
you may want to  carry include tire chains, tow
straps or  chains, flashlight, emergency  flares,
sand,ashovel,jumpercables,awindowscraper,
gloves, ground cloth,  coveralls, a blanket, etc.
