DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o
o
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug-
ging is driving too slowly in too high a gear
resulting in the engine bucking. If this
happens to you, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine beyond
its safe limit. This can be avoided by
shifting at the recommended speeds.
Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by the
engine power so your fuel economy is
reduced when you use it.

Electrical System
Door Locks
Winter conditions impose severe demands
upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly
the charging circuit. The battery condition and
performance along with the alternator perfor-
mance and drive belt condition should be
checked prior to the onset of winter.
Should the door lock mechanism become
frozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be
used. Alternatively, warming the door key
may thaw the door lock. However, the key
should be handled carefully to avoid burning
the fingers.
Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock
using hot water, since the water will eventu-
ally freeze and compound the problem.

Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor
The cooling system must always contain an
Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution.
The system is filled during manufacture with
solution of the correct strength which should
be checked before the onset of winter and
adjusted or changed as required.
NOTE:
SC160A1-F
The proper temperature for using the
immobiliser key is from -40°F to 176°F (-
40°C to 80°C). If you heat the immobiliser
key over 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen
lock, it may cause damage to the tran-
sponder in its head.
SMOOTH CORNERING
Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor-
ners should always be taken under gentle
acceleration. If you follow these suggestions,
tyre wear will be held to a minimum.
NOTE:
The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-
sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of the
aluminum castings contained within the
engine. Therefore, never, drain the system
and refill with water only.

Windscreen Washers and Wipers
WINTERMOTORING
The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary
winter screen wash additive. The windscreen
wipers should not be used if the blades are
frozen to the windscreen or if they are cov-
ered with snow, before this is removed.
The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There-
fore, the following suggestions will assist in
maintaining peak performance and reliability
during these periods:
In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS
be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,
to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and
subsequently bursting with the refrigeration
system in use.
