Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using
the immobilizer key is from -40°C
(-40°F) to 80°C(176°F). If you heat
the immobilizer key over 80°C to
open the frozen lock, it may cause
damage to the transponder in its
head.
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.
