To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it 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  to the
original equipment tires.  Failure to do  so
may adversely affect the  safety and han-
dling of your car. Furthermore,  speeding,
rapid  acceleration,  sudden  brake  appli-
cations,  and sharp  turns  are  potentially
very  hazardous practices.
During deceleration,  use engine  braking
to the fullest  extent. Sudden brake appli-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids  to occur.  You  need to  keep  suffi-
cient  distance   between  the   vehicle  in
operation in front  and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that  installing tire  chains on  the  tire will
provide  a  greater driving  force,  but  will
not prevent  side skids.
Your Hyundai is delivered with high qual-
ity 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,  lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents freez-
ing. Be sure  to replace or replenish  your
coolant in  accordance  with the   mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5. Before win-
ter,  have your  coolant  tested  to assure
that its  freezing point is  sufficient for the
temperatures anticipated  during the win-
ter.
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.

System
Inspect  your   spark  plugs  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.
