C160G01A-GATTo Keep Locks from FreezingTo keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the
key opening. If a lock is covered with ice,
squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to
remove the ice. If the lock is frozen inter-
nally, you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heated key
with care to avoid injury.NOTE:The proper temperature for using the
immobilizer key is from -40°F (-40°C) to
176°F (80°C). If you heat the immobilizer
key over 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen
lock, it may cause damage to the tran-
sponder in its head.
C160F01A-AATCheck Spark Plugs and Ignition
SystemInspect your spark plugs as described in
Section 6 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and compo-
nents to be sure they are not cracked, worn
or damaged in any way.C160E01A-AATChange to "Winter Weight" Oil if
NecessaryIn 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 should use, consult your
Hyundai dealer.
C160H02A-AATUse Approved Window Washer Anti-
Freeze in SystemTo keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the con-
tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able from Hyundai dealers and most auto
parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze as these may
damage the paint finish.C160I01L-AATDon'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" and block
the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.

SPARK PLUGSG060A01NF-AAT
G060A01LYour engine was originally equipped with
Iridium-tipped spark plugs.
Iridium-tipped spark plugs will last longer
than conventional type spark plugs and
can be identified by blue lines on the
ceramic shell.NOTE:Do not clean or regap Iridium-tipped
spark plugs.
G060B01TG-AATReplacing the Spark PlugsThe spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5 or whenever
engine performance indicates they should
be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor
spark plug performance include engine
misfiring under load, loss of fuel economy,
poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs
are replaced, always use spark plugs rec-
ommended by Hyundai. The use of other
spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-
mance, radio interference or engine dam-
age.NOTE:o It is recommended that spark plugs
should be changed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o When replacing the spark plugs, al-
ways use the genuine parts recom-
mended.Recommended Spark Plugs:IFR5G-11
