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.
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.
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 80°C to open the frozen lock, it
may cause damage to the transponder
in its head.
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.

Note : *1. For the first time replace the coolant at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 60 months. After that replace it every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
*2. Inspect every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months

FILLING THE WASHER
RESERVOIRG090A01CM-AATThe washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to
the front and rear washer systems.
A good quality washer fluid should be
used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid
level should be checked more frequently
during inclement weather or whenever the
washer system is in more frequent use.
CAUTION:
o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant)
should not be used in the washer sys-
tem because it will damage the car's
finish.
o The washer should not be operated if
the washer reservoir is empty. This
can damage the washer fluid pump.
!!
WARNING:
o Windshield washer fluid agents con-
tain some amounts of alcohol and can
be flammable under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparks or flame
to contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Damage to
the vehicle or its occupants could
occur.
o Windshield washer fluid is poisonous
to humans and animals. Do not drink
windshield washer fluid. Serious in-
jury or death could occur.
CHECKING THE
TRANSAXLE OIL (MANUAL)G100A01MC-GATTransaxle lubricant in the manual transaxle
should be checked at those intervals speci-
fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule
in Section 5.
!
WARNING:
It is always better to check the transaxle
oil level when the engine is cool or cold.
If the engine is hot, you should exercise
great caution to avoid burning yourself
on hot engine or exhaust parts.NOTE:It is recommended that the manual
transaxle fluid should be checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

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:o Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing 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 char-
acteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
oDo not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01MC-AATThe 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.
