C160D01A-AATCheck Battery and CablesWinter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the bat-
tery and cables as described in Section
6. The level of charge in your battery can
be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a
service 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, lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents freez-
ing. Be sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in Section 5. Before win-
ter, have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for the
temperatures anticipated during the win-
ter.
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 to the
original equipment tires. Failure to do so
may adversely affect the safety and han-
dling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake appli-
cations, and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake appli-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids to occur. You need to keep suffi-
cient distance between the vehicle in
operation in front and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that installing 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.
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.C160F02A-AATCheck Spark Plugs and Ignition
SystemInspect your spark plugs and replace
them if necessary. Also check all ignition
wiring and components to be sure they
are not cracked, worn or damaged in any
way.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START!
D010B02A-AATIf Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns
Over Slowly
D010A01A-AATD010C01A-AAT
If Engine Turns Over Normally but
Does Not Start1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the "OFF" position,
check all connectors at ignition coil
and spark plugs. Reconnect any that
may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine room.
4. If the engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified
assistance. WARNING:
If the engine will not start, do not push
or pull the car to start it. This could
result in a collision or cause other dam-
age. In addition, push or pull starting
may cause the catalytic converter to
be overloaded and create a fire hazard.
1. If your car has an automatic transaxle,
be sure the gear selector lever is in "N"
or "P" and the emergency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate the
starter, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be
sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start
it. See instructions for "Jump Starting".

JUMP STARTING
D010D01A-AATIf the Engine Stalls While Driving1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep-
ing a straight line. Move cautiously off
the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai
dealer or seek other qualified assis-
tance.

D020A02A-AAT
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during
the jump-start operation is highly ex-
plosive. If these instructions are not
followed exactly, serious personal in-
jury and damage to the vehicle may
occur! If you are not sure how to follow
this procedure, seek qualified assis-
tance. Automobile batteries contain sul-
furic acid. This is poisonous and highly
corrosive. When jump starting, wear
protective glasses and be careful not to
get acid on yourself, your clothing or on
the car.
D020A02MC
o If you should accidentally get acid on
your skin or in your eyes, immediately
remove any contaminated clothing
and flush the area with clear water for
at least 15 minutes. Then promptly
obtain medical attention. If you must
be transported to an emergency facil-
ity, continue to apply water to the af-
fected area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery dur-
ing the jump-start operation is highly
explosive. Do not smoke or allow a
spark or open flame in the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the
jump start must be 12-volt. If you can-
not determine that it is a 12-volt bat-
tery, do not attempt to use it for the
jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged
battery, follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in
another vehicle, be sure the two ve-
hicles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
accessories in both vehicles.
F020100AUN-EUIf the Engine Stalls at a Crossroad or
CrossingIf the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the
N(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSD030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioner is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the hood
until the coolant has stopped running
or the steaming has stopped. If there is
no visible loss of coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and check to
be sure the engine cooling fan is op-
erating. If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off. 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable
in the exact location shown on the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper cable to the positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged battery.
Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the
negative (-) post or cable of the booster
battery. Then attach the other end of
that cable to a solid metal part of the
engine away from the battery. Do not
connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for a few
minutes. This will help to assure that
the booster battery is fully charged.
During the jumping operation, run the
engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal
starting procedure. After the engine
starts, leave the jumper cables con-
nected and let the engine run at fast
idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left on, etc.), have the charging system
checked by your Hyundai dealer.
