Driving your vehicle
Winter precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
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 cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
NOTICE
When using tire chains:
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, we recommend that you
consult with an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
•
Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-
pension, body and wheels.
Use SAE “S” class or wire
chains.
If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
•
•
in accordance with the maintenance Check spark plugs and ignition
system
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
retighten the chains after driving that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
•
•
To
prevent
body
damage,
Inspect
your
spark
plugs
as
described in chapter 7 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.
0.5~1.0
km (0.3~0.6 miles).
Do not use tire chains on vehi-
cles equipped with aluminum
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
•
Use wire chains less than 15 mm
(0.59
in) wide to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
