2005 Hyundai Matrix wiper blades

1- 39
CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
The windscreen wiper switch, dependent upon model, has three operating positions.
1. Intermittent wiper operation.(Not all models)
2. Low speed operation.
3. High speed operation. NOTE: To prevent damage to the wiper system,do not attempt to wipe away heavy accu-mulations of snow or ice. Accumulated snow and ice should be removed manually. If there is only a lightlayer of snow or ice, operate the heater inthe defrost mode to melt the snow or icebefore using the wiper.

B350B01O-EAT Windscreen Washer Operation To use the windscreen washer, pull the wiper/ washer lever toward the steering wheel. Whenthe washer lever is operated, the wipers auto-matically make two passes across thewindscreen. The washer continues to operateuntil the lever is released. NOTE:
o Do not operate the washer more than 15 seconds at a time or when the fluid reservoir is empty.
o In icy or freezing weather, be sure the wiper blades are not frozen to the glassprior to operating the wipers.
o In areas where water freezes in winter, use windscreen washer antifreeze. B350B01O.DAG

Door Locks Should the door lock mechanism become frozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used. Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw the door lock. However, the key should be handled carefully to avoid burning the fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventu- ally freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobiliser key is from -40°F to 176°F (- 40°C to 80°C). If you heat the immobiliser key over 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the tran- sponder in its head.
SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winter screen wash additive. The windscreen wipers should not be used if the blades are frozen to the windscreen or if they are cov- ered with snow, before this is removed.
ZC170B1-E
Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe demandsupon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator perfor- mance and drive belt condition should be checked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitorThe cooling system must always contain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solution of the correct strength which should be checked before the onset of winter and adjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro- sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of the aluminum castings contained within the engine. Therefore, never, drain the system and refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning, to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and subsequently bursting with the refrigeration system in use.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug-
ging is driving too slowly in too high a gearresulting in the engine bucking. If this happens to you, 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 the engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
SC160A1-F SMOOTH CORNERINGAvoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor- ners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions, tyre wear will be held to a minimum. SC170A1-E WINTER MOTORINGThe onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating demands. There- fore, the following suggestions will assist in maintaining peak performance and reliability during these periods:

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluidadditive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to the paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due to the formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice to restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroad wheels or steering mechanism. In such instances, unusual noises or an in- crease in steering effort may result. There- fore, ensure that the wheel arches are checked periodically and any accumulated snow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,blankets etc., if a journey is to be under- taken into areas of severe road conditions. SC200B3-E
TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an
Hyundai Approved towing attachment is usedto ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and con- structed to ensure maximum towing perfor- mance and ease of fitment. A range of acces- sories including electrical kits are available through the Hyundai authorised repairer net- work.
It is of the utmost importance that those areas
of the vehicle which are subjected to greaterstress during towing are maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operating checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety. The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in
achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilstthe use of such equipment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit.
The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the
trailer or caravan must be maintained in ac- cordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. Special attention should be paid
WARNING: It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1,000 miles of Running in has been completed. All Hyundai MATRIX models are suited to tow- ing trailers and caravans up to the limits indicated on page 2-14. MATRIX models fitted with automatic transaxle have a transaxle oil cooler and further transaxle cooling should not be required.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES CAUTION:
o The air flow sensor is a precision engi- neered electronic measuring device and therefore care should be exercised thatthe air flow sensor is not damagedduring replacement of the element.
o When removing the air cleaner ele- ment, be careful that dust or dirt doesnot enter the air intake. These mayresult in damage to the air cleanerelement.
To ensure maximum filtration performance
and continued engine performance, only genu-ine Hyundai replacements should be used.
HEF-119-E
The wiper blades should be carefully in-
spected from time to time and cleaned to remove accumulations of road film or otherdebris. When the fluid is to be replenished, only aproprietary screen wash additive should beused and in the concentration recommendedby the manufacturer. The windscreen washerreservoir has a total capacity of 3 litres. CAUTION: Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used in the windscreen washer systemsince damage to the paintwork may result. Undiluted windscreen washer additive must not be allowed to come into contact with thepaintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af-fected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for morethan 15 seconds continuously or whenthe reservoir is empty since damage tothe washer pump will result.
To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a
clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap ordetergent and water. If the wipers continue tostreak or smear the glass, replace them withgenuine Hyundai replacement.
CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass since rapid wear and damage to thewindscreen glass may result.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as en-gine oil, petrol, etc.

The washer fluid reservoir supplies
fluid to the windshield washer sys- tem.
A good quality washer fluid should be
used to fill the washer reservoir. Thefluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weather or whenever the washer system is inmore frequent use. The capacity of the washer reservoir
is 3.0 liters (3.2 U.S. quarts).
