DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C160D01A-AATCheck Battery and CablesWinter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the battery
and cables as described in Section 6. The
level of charge in your battery can be
checked by your Hyundai dealer or a ser-
vice station.C160C01A-AATUse High Quality Ethylene Glycol
CoolantYour Hyundai is delivered with high qual-
ity ethylene 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
accordance with the maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the temperatures an-
ticipated during the winter.
C160B01A-AATSnowy 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 of the original
equipment tires. Failure to do so may ad-
versely affect the safety and handling of
your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very haz-
ardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applica-
tions on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient
distance between the vehicle in operation
in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently. It should be noted that install-
ing tire chains on the tire will provide a
greater driving force, but will not prevent
side skids.NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states.
Check state laws before fitting tire
chains.
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.

F070L01A-AATo Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.F070K01A-AATo Exhaust Pipe and MufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Start the engine and listen care-
fully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten
connections or replace parts as neces-
sary.F070J01A-AATo Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid
leakage.
F070Q01A-AATo Air Conditioning RefrigerantCheck the air conditioning lines and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Check
air conditioning performance according to
the relevant shop manual if necessary.F070P01A-AATo Drive Shafts and BootsCheck the drive shafts, boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Re-
place any damaged parts and, if neces-
sary, repack the grease.
F070N01A-AATo Power Steering Pump, Belt and
HosesCheck the power steering pump and hoses
for leakage and damage. Replace any
damaged or leaking parts immediately.
Inspect the power steering belt for evi-
dence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear,
oiliness and proper tension. Replace or
adjust it if necessary.F070M01Y-AATo Steering Gear Box, Linkage &
Boots/Lower Arm Ball Joint, Up-
per Arm Ball JointWith the vehicle stopped and engine off,
check for excessive free-play in the steer-
ing wheel. Check the linkage for bends or
damage. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts.

POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01TG-AAT
G230A01TG
The power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine is
"OFF", then check to make certain that the
power steering fluid level is between the
"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the
fluid reservoir.

G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan, so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.G220B01NF-GATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on
automatically if the engine coolant tem-
perature is high or whenever the air con-
ditioning is in operation.
G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure.NOTE:Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after
the engine is started in extremely cold
conditions (below - 4°F). If the noise stops
during warm up, there is no abnormal
function in the system. It is due to a
power steering fluid characteristic in
extremely cold conditions.
Recommended FluidUse PSF-4 type fluidNOTE:Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
