2012 Hyundai Tucson Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
To keep locks from freezing
Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Carry emergency equipment
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved  de-icer  fluid or  glycerine  into
the key opening. If a lock is  covered with
ice,  squirt  it with  an  approved  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 injury.
Depending on the  severity of the weath-
er,  you should  carry  appropriate  emer-
gency equipment. Some of the items you
may want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps  or  chains,  flashlight,  emergency
flares, sand,  a shovel,  jumper cables,  a
window  scraper,   gloves,  ground  cloth,
coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Under   some  conditions   your   parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely  to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near  the rear  brakes or  if the  brakes
are  wet.  If  there  is  a  risk  the  parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporar-
ily while you put the shift lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual  transaxle)  and  block  the   rear
wheels   so  the   car  cannot   roll.  Then
release the parking brake.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the  water in the window washer
system from  freezing,  add an  approved
window  washer   anti-freeze  solution  in
accordance with instructions on  the con-
tainer.  Window   washer   anti-freeze   is
available  from an  authorized  HYUNDAI
dealer  and most  auto  parts outlets.  Do
not use engine  coolant or other types  of
anti-freeze  as  these  may  damage   the
paint finish.
Don't let ice and snow accumu-
late underneath
Under  some  conditions,  snow  and  ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere  with  the steering.  When  driving  in
severe winter  conditions where this may
happen,  you  should  periodically  check
underneath  the  vehicle  to  be  sure  the
movement  of  the front  wheels  and  the
steering components is not obstructed.
