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  tyre  chains,
tow  straps  or  chains,  flashlight,  emer-
gency  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 whilst 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  vehicle 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  a   HYUNDAI  authorised
Do not  park  a vehicle  on a  public  road
without the parking brake applied.
Don't let ice and snow accumu-
repairer and most  auto parts outlets.  Do     late underneath
not use engine  coolant or other types  of
anti-freeze  as  these  may  damage   the
paint finish.
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.
