B350B01A-AAT Windshield Washer Operation To use the windshield washer, pull the wiper/washer lever toward the steer- ing wheel. When the washer lever isoperated, the wipers automatically make two passes across the wind- shield. The washer continues to oper-ate until 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 notfrozen to the glass prior to oper- ating the wipers. HSRFL2116
NOTE:
o Before operating the wipers in
cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are not fro-zen to the windshield. Attempt- ing to operate the wipers while the blades are frozen to the wind-shield could cause the motor to burn out.
o If the wipers stop during opera- tion because of ice or some otherobstruction on the windshield, the wiper motor could burn outeven if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stop the vehicle, turn off the ignitionswitch, and clean the windshield to allow proper wiper operation.
o Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry:doing so couldscratch the windshield and wear the blades prematurely.

3 STARTING AND OPERATING

D180C01P-GAT Battery The capacity of the battery is reduced at low temperatutes.This is an inevitable result of its chemi- cal and physical properties. This is why a very cold battery, particularlyone that is not fully charged anyway, will only deliver a fraction of the starter current which is normally available.It is recommended that you have the battery checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer before the start ofcold weather and, if necessary, have it charged. This not only ensures reliable starting,but a battery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life. C160G02A-AAT 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 approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. 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 immobilizer key over 80°C to open the frozenlock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head.
D180G01P-GAT Door locks To prevent the door locks from freez- ing up, the lock cylinders should be masked with tape, etc., when washingthe vehicle in cold weather to prevent the entrance of water.
D180D01P-GAT Washer fluid To ensure proper operation of the wind- shield or rear window at low tempera-tures, anti-freeze should be added to the washer fluid at a rate of one part antifreeze to one part water. D180E01P-GAT Wiper blades Before operating the wipers, check the wiper blades to confirm that they arenot frozen to the windshield or tailgate. If the blades are frozen to the wind- shield or tailgate, do not operate thewipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed. D180F01P-GAT Ventilation slots The ventilation slots in the headlight housing on the assistant seat side should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation systems will not be impaired.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum productssuch as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
G080A02A-AAT The wiper blades should be carefully
inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accumulations ofroad film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap ordetergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundaireplacement parts or their equivalent. HEF119
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine cool- ant) should not be used in thewasher system because it will damage the car’s finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled and the washer should not be operated if the washerreservoir is empty. This can dam- age the washer fluid pump.

!WARNING:
o Windshield washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flammable under cer- tain circumstances. Do not allow sparks of flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or its occupants could occur.
o Windshield washer fluid is poi- sonous to humans and animals.Do not drink windshield washerfluid. Serious injury or death could occur.
