2- 16 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C160F01A-AAT 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 andcomponents to be sure they are notcracked, worn or damaged in any way. C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov-ered with ice, squirt it with an approvedde-icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heatedkey. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat the immobilizerkey over 80°C to open the frozenlock, it may cause damage to thetransponder in its head.
C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replaceor 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. C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described inSection 6. The level of charge in yourbattery can be checked by your Hyun- dai dealer or a service station.
C160E01A-AATChange 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 shoulduse, consult your Hyundai dealer.
noted that installing tire chains on thetire 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.

C160I01A-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happenwhen there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a riskthe parking brake may freeze, apply itonly temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or infirst or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parkingbrake.
C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approvedanti-freeze solution in accordance withinstructions on the container. Windowwasher anti-freeze is available fromHyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as thesemay damage the finish.
C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, youshould carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains,tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer-gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumpercables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders andinterfere with the steering. When driv-ing in severe winter conditions wherethis may happen, you should periodi- cally check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheelsand the steering components is notobstructed.
C170A01A-AAT HIGH SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures tospecification. Low tire inflation pres-sures will result in overheating andpossible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction ortire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes 1.5 timesmore fuel than urban motoring. Do notforget to check both engine coolantand engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt mayresult in overheating of the engine.

C190C01Y-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it
is properly installed and operating cor-rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load.See "Maintenance Under SevereUsage Conditions" on page 5-6.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brakesystem.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay
close attention to the engine cool- ant temperature gauge to ensure
the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant tem-
perature gauge moves across thedial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to
C190B01S-AATTrailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that it's location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch whichdistributes the tongue load uniformlythroughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualifiedtechnician. DO NOT USE A HITCHDESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY IN-STALLATION AND NEVER USE ONETHAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean.When driving during the day in condi-tions of poor visibility, it is helpful todrive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see. C190A01A-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehiclesto determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov-ince the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundaidealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not do any towing with your carduring its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles)in order to allow the engine to prop-erly break in. Failure to heed thiscaution may result in serious en- gine or transaxle damage.

C190E03L-GAT Trailer Weight Limit
Tongue load Total trailer weight C190E01L2. The total gross vehicle weight
with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR) shown on the vehicleidentification plate (see page 8-2). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passengersand their luggage, cargo, hitch,
trailer tongue load and other op-tional equipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) shown on thevehicle identification plate (seepage 8-2). It is possible that yourtowing package does not exceedthe GVWR but exceeds the
C190D01A-GAT Safety Chains Should the hitch connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle youare towing fail, the trailer or vehiclecould wander dangerously across otherlanes of traffic and ultimately collidewith another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially dangerous situation, safety chains, attached between your car andthe trailer or towed vehicle, are re-quired in most provinces.
Tongue loads can be increased ordecreased by redistributing the load inthe trailer.This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loaded trailer and then checking the load on the tongue. NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more
weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining40% in the rear.

WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can seriously affect its steer-ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash which could cause seri- ous injury or death. C190F01Y-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run-ning lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Less than 100 km/h)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel
than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per- formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is toomuch wind buffeting slow down to

14.When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak- ing effect.When ascending a long grade,downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera- tor. This can cause the automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the park-ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently.
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur whentowing, (temperature gauge readsnear red zone), taking the followingaction may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse(manual) or Park (automatic). Inaddition, place wheel chocks ateach of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brakecontroller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and anytrailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficien- cy. 1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going
uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutraland idle the engine at a higher speed.
