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.
