DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described
in Section 6 and replace them if neces-
sary. Also check all ignition wiring and
components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.

To Keep Locks from Freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine
into the key opening. If a lock is cov-
ered 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 burning your fingers.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using
the immobilizer key is from -40°C to
80°C. If you heat the immobilizer
key over 80°C to open the frozen
lock, it may cause damage to the
transponder in its head.

Use High Quality Ethylene
Glycol Coolant
Your Hyundai 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, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace
or replenish your coolant in accor-
dance with the maintenance schedule
in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freez-
ing point is sufficient for the tempera-
tures anticipated during the winter.

Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in
Section 6. The level of charge in your
battery can be checked by your Hyun-
dai dealer or a service station.

Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
Section 9 for recommendations. If you
aren't sure what weight oil you should
use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
noted that installing tire chains on the
tire will provide a greater driving force,
but will not prevent side skids.
NOTE:
Tire chains are not legal in all prov-
inces. Check province laws before
fitting tire chains.
