DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
23WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-DAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimise the problems of winter driving, you should follow thesesuggestions: C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freezing pointis sufficient for the temperatures antici- pated during the winter.
C160B01A-DAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tyres or to install tyre chains on your tyres. If snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to select tyres equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tyres.Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accelera-tion, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazard- ous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak-ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brakeapplications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehiclein operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tyre chains onthe tyre will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tyre chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tyre chains.
C160D01A-DAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery and charging system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as de-scribed in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.
