Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer sys- tem from freezing, add an approved anti-freezesolution in accordance with instructions on thecontainer. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-able from Hyundai dealers and most auto partsoutlets. Do not use engine coolant or othertypes of anti-freeze as these may damage thefinish. C160I01X-GAT
Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position.

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec- tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Alsocheck all ignition wiring and components to besure they are not cracked, worn or damaged inany way.
C160D01A-AAT
Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the batterysystem. Visually inspect the battery and cablesas described in Section 6. The level of chargein your battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT
Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary
In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used dur-ing cold weather. See Section 9 for recommen-dations. If you aren't sure what weight oil youshould use, consult your Hyundai dealer. C160G01A-GAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt itwith an approved de-icing fluid to remove the
Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Speeding, rapid accel-eration, sudden brake applications, and sharpturns are potentially very hazardous practices.During deceleration, use engine braking to thefullest extent. Sudden brake applications onsnowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance betweenthe vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, applythe brake gently.
It should be noted that installing tire chains on
the tire will provide a greater driving force, butwill not prevent side skids.
NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all provinces.
Check province laws before fitting tire chains.
C160C01A-AAT
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 usedbecause it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen-ish your coolant in accordance with the main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assure that itsfreezing point is sufficient for the temperaturesanticipated during the winter.
