Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethyl-
ene 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

SMOOTH CORNERING SMOOTH CORNERINGSMOOTH CORNERING SMOOTH CORNERING
SMOOTH CORNERINGAvoid braking or gear changing in corners, espe-
cially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should
always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you
follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to
a minimum.
C160A01A-AAT
WINTER DRIVING WINTER DRIVINGWINTER DRIVING WINTER DRIVING
WINTER DRIVINGThe more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To
minimize the problems of winter driving, you
should follow these suggestions:
C160B01A-AAT
Snowy or Icy Conditions Snowy or Icy ConditionsSnowy or Icy Conditions Snowy or Icy Conditions
Snowy or Icy ConditionsTo drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tire
chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it
is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and
type to the original equipment tires. Failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and handling
of your car. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-
den brake applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance between the
vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire
chains on the tire will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTE: NOTE:NOTE: NOTE:

state laws before fitting tire chains. o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is
running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, 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 result-
ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift
to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the
engine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced when
you use it. o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to
the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-
tion, either too much or too little, results in
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-
sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly.
Improper alignment can result from hitting
curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac-
es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear
and may also result in other problems as well
as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you
drive your car in severe conditions, more
frequent maintenance is required (see Sec-
tion 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,
your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of
corrosive materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight
in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-
sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn
off your engine and restart only when you're
ready to go.

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 the fingers.

Don't Let Your Parking Brake FreezeUnder some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely
to happen when there is an accumulation of snow
or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake
may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you
put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.

listed in the maintenance charts starting on
page 5-3. These procedures must be per-
formed at the intervals shown in the mainte-

remains in effect. Although it is strongly rec-
ommended that they be performed by the
trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or
replacements. Other parts of equivalent qual-
ity such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual
or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on
which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor
Company or its distributor may be used with-
out affecting your warranty coverage but you
should always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your

To ensure that you receive the greatest num-

Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures
must be performed. Although careful design
and engineering have reduced these to a
minimum, those that are required are of the
utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with
the terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied
with your new vehicle provides further infor-
mation about these warranties.

service is not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
