2012 Hyundai Tucson Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
WARNING - Tire chains
The use of  chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling.
Do not  exceed 20 mph  (30 km/h)
or  the chain  manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed  limit, whichev-
er is lower.
Drive carefully and  avoid bumps,
holes,   sharp   turns,  and   other
road  hazards,  which may  cause
the vehicle to bounce.
Your vehicle 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,  lubri-
cates   the  water   pump   and  prevents
freezing. Be sure to  replace or replenish
your  coolant   in   accordance   with  the
maintenance   schedule    in  section    7.
Before winter, have your coolant tested to
assure that its freezing  point is sufficient
for  the  temperatures anticipated  during
the winter.
In some climates it is recommended that
a  lower viscosity  "winter  weight"  oil  be
used during cold  weather. See section 8
for recommendations.  If you  aren't  sure
what weight  oil you  should use,  consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as  described in
section 7 and replace them  if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and compo-
nents  to be  sure  they are  not  cracked,
worn or damaged in any way.
Avoid   sharp   turns   or   locked-
wheel braking.
Check battery and cables
CAUTION
Winter  puts  additional  burdens  on  the
battery system. Visually  inspect the bat-
tery and  cables as  described in  section
Chains that are the  wrong size or
improperly installed  can  damage
your  vehicle's  brake  lines,   sus-
pension, body and wheels.
Stop  driving   and   retighten  the
chains  any  time  you  hear  them
hitting the vehicle.
