DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
C150A01A-AAT SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet.Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum. C160A01A-AAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear andother problems. To minimize the prob-lems of winter driving, you should fol-low these suggestions:
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al-lowed to accumulate on the under-side of the car. This extra weightcan result in increased fuel con-sumption and also contribute to cor- rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your car. Weight re- duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're readyto go. C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install tire chains on your tires. Ifsnow tires are needed, it is necessaryto select tires equivalent in size andtype of the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel-eration, sudden brake applications, andsharp turns are potentially very haz-ardous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak- ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brakeapplications on snowy or icy roadsmay cause skids to occur. You need tokeep sufficient distance between thevehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be
o Remember, your Hyundai does not
require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly,you can drive away. In very coldweather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear resulting in the enginebucking. If this happens, shift to alower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting atthe recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
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.
5- 2 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
F010C01A-GAT Specified Scheduled Procedures These are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replace-ments that are listed in the mainte- nance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performedat the intervals shown in the mainte-nance schedule to assure that yourwarranty remains in effect. Althoughit is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians atyour Hyundai dealer, these proce-dures may be performed at any quali-fied service facility. F010D01A-GAT General Checks These are the regular checks you should perform when you drive yourHyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A listof these items will be found on page 6-5.
F010A01A-GAT MAINTENANCE INTERVALS Service Requirements To assure that you receive the great- est number of kilometers of satisfyingoperation from your Hyundai, certainmaintenance procedures must be performed. Although careful design and engineering have reduced theseto a minimum, those that are requiredare of the utmost importance.It is your responsibility to have thesemaintenance procedures performedto comply with the terms of the war-ranties covering your new Hyundai.The Service Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further in- formation about these warranties.
F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for yourHyundai can be divided into threemain areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any requiredrepairs or replacements. Other parts ofequivalent quality such as engine oil,engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on
which are not supplied by HyundaiMotor Company or its distributor maybe used without affecting your war-ranty coverage but you should al-ways be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport providesfurther information about your war-ranty coverage.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5- 3
F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and wantto take the time to do so, you caninspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it yourself, see Section 6. F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai
serviced, keep copies of the ser- vice records in your glove box. This will help ensure that you can docu- ment that the required procedureshave been performed to keep yourwarranties in effect. This is espe-cially important when service is notperformed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own main- tenance and repairs, you may findit helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this pub-lication may be purchased at yourHyundai dealer's parts department. F020A01Y-GAT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced orsuspected. Receipts for all emissioncontrol system services should be retained to demonstrate compliance with conditions of the emissions sys-tem warranty.For severe usage maintenance re-quirements, see page 5-6 of this sec-tion.
