C160K01A-AATCarry Emergency EquipmentDepending on the severity of the weather
where you drive your car, you should carry
appropriate emergency equipment. Some
of the items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper
cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C160H02A-AATUse Approved Window Washer Anti-
Freeze in SystemTo keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the con-
tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able from Hyundai dealers and most auto
parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze as these may
damage the paint finish.
C160G01A-AATTo 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.
C160J01A-AATDon't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
UnderneathUnder some conditions, snow and ice can
build up under the fenders and interfere
with the steering. When driving in severe
winter conditions where this may happen,
you should periodically check underneath
the car to be sure the movement of the front
wheels and the steering components is
not obstructed.
C160I01A-AATDon't Let Your Parking Brake FreezeUnder some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This
is most likely to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or if the brakes are
wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while you
put the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic) or in first or reverse gear (manual
transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
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.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS8
F070D01A-AATo Manual Transaxle OilInspect the manual transaxle oil according
to the maintenance schedule.NOTE:If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
F070C01A-AATo CoolantThe coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.F060E01A-AATo Timing BeltInspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any
damaged parts immediately.F060J01A-AATo Spark PlugsMake sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.F060H01A-AATo Air Cleaner FilterA Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is replaced.
F060G01A-AATo Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler CapThe vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. Make sure that
a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.F065F01O-AATo Crankcase Ventilation HoseInspect the surface of hose for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions, and excessive swelling indi-
cate deterioration. Particular attention
should be paid to examine that hose sur-
face nearest to high heat sources, such as
the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hose does not come in contact with any
heat source, sharp edges or moving com-
ponent which might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose con-
nections, such as clamps and couplings,
to make sure they are secure, and that no
leaks are present. Hose should be re-
placed immediately if there is any evi-
dence of deterioration or damage.
F070E06A-AATo Automatic Transaxle FluidThe fluid level should be in the “HOT”
range of the dipstick, after the engine and
transaxle are at normal operating tem-
perature. Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level with the engine running and the
transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake
properly applied. Use HYUNDAI GENU-
INE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK
ATF SP III or other brands meeting the SP
III specification approved by Hyundai Motor
Co. when adding or changing fluid. Using
the wrong ATF may result in damage to the
ATM.
