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.
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, we rec-
ommend that you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph)
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.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Avoid sharp turns or locked-
wheel braking.
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.
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.
7.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Stop driving and retighten the
chains any time you hear them
hitting the vehicle.
