2016 Hyundai Creta brake light

To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved deicer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved deicing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat
ed key with care to avoid injury.
Use approved window washer
antifreeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer antifreeze
solution in accordance with instruc
tions on the container. Window wash
er antifreeze is available from an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
most auto parts outlets. Do not use
engine coolant or other types of anti
freeze as these may damage the
paint finish.
Don't let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap
pen 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 shift lever in P
(automatic transaxle) or in first or
reverse gear (manual transaxle) and
block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Don't let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under 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 com
ponents is not obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropri
ate emergency equipment. Some of
the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, shovel, jumper cables, window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, cover
alls, blanket, etc.
Don't place foreign objects or
materials in the engine compart
ment
Placement of foreign objects or
materials which prevent cooling of
the engine, in the engine compart
ment, may cause a failure or com
bustion. The manufacturer is not
responsible for the damage caused
by such placement.5

What to do in an emergency
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to measure the tire's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tire that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measur
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
TPMS
•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such
as nails or road debris.
•If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with light
force, and slowly move to a safe
position off the road.
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or dis
abling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com
ponents may interfere with the
system's ability to warn the driver
of low tire pressure conditions
and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or dis
abling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com
ponents may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
WARNING
We recommend that you use the
tire sealant approved by
HYUNDAI if your vehicle is
equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pres
sure sensors.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per
formed at the frequencies indicated
to help ensure safe, dependable
operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used. Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in coolantreservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid level.
• Look for low or underinflated tires.
• Check the radiator and condenser. Check if the front of the radiator
and condenser are clean and not
blocked with leaves, dirt or insectsetc.
If any of the above par ts areextremely dirty or you are not sure
of their condition, we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer
ing effort or looseness in the steer
ing wheel, or change in its straight
ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, levelroad.
• When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or "hardtopush" brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
• Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).

Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Replacing tires
To reduce the chance or serious
or fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
•Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam
aged. Worn tires can cause loss
of braking effectiveness, steer
ing control, and traction.
•Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to
uneven wear and tire failure.
•When replacing tires, never mix
radial and biasply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov
ing from radial to biasply tires.
(Continued)
(Continued)
WARNING •Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac
teristics and poor vehicle con
trol, resulting in a serious acci
dent.
•Wheels that do not meet
HYUNDAI's specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
•The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tire
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4 tires
must use the same size original
ly supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS (Antilock Brake
System) and ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) to work irregu
larly. (if equipped)
A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, bodytotire
clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cali
bration, headlight aim and bumper
height.

lIGhT BulBS
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to replace most vehicle light
bulbs. It is difficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs because other parts of the
vehicle must be removed before you
can get to the bulb. This is especially
true for removing the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.Information
After heavy driving, rain or washing
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused
by the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle dur
ing the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb circuit
ry, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Be sure to replace the burnedout
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause dam
age to the fuse or electric wiring sys
tem.
NOTICE
i
Prior to replacing a light, depress
the foot brake, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transaxle vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicle), apply
the parking brake, place the igni
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF posi
tion, and take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle to avoid
sudden movement of the vehicle
and to prevent possible electric
shock.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot
and may burn your fingers.
