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 cov-
eredwithice,squirtitwithanapproved
de-icing fluid to remove the 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 burning your fingers.
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 cooling
system,lubricatesthewaterpumpand
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace
or replenish your coolant in accor-
dancewiththe maintenanceschedule
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.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using
the immobilizer 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.
