necessary
NOTICE

When using tire chains:
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"

chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, we recommend that you
consult with an authorized HYUNDAI

Use wire chains less than 15 mm
(0.59 in) wide to prevent damage

the battery system. Visually inspect
