To prevent the locks from
frozen
To prevent the locks from being
frozen, spray authorized de-icing
fluid or glycerin into key openings.
When a lock opening is already cov-
ered with ice, spray authorized de-
icing fluid on the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock
freezes, try to thaw it with a heated
key. Carefully use the heated key to
avoid an injury.
Use authorized window-wash-
er anti-freezer solution in sys-
tem
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized win-
dow-washer anti-freeze solution, as
instructed on the window-washer
container. Window-washer anti-
freeze solution is available from an
authorized EQUUS dealer, and so
are the most auto parts outlets. Do
not use engine coolant or other types
of anti-freezer solution, because
these may damage the vehicle paint.
Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake may freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap-
pen, when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around/near the rear
brakes, or when the brakes are wet.
When there is the risk that your park-
ing brake may freeze, temporarily
apply it after locating the shift lever in
P(Park). Also, block the rear wheels
in advance, so the vehicle may not
roll. Then, release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice may build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in such conditions during the
severe winter, you should check
underneath the vehicle on a regular
basis to assure that moving the front
wheels and the steering components
is unobstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather condi-
tions, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment, while driving.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tire chains, tow straps,
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a win-
dow scraper, gloves, ground cloth,
coveralls and a blanket.
Do not place objects or materi-
als in the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because those may block the engine
cooling. The manufacturer is not
responsible for the damage caused
by such placement.

What to do in an emergency06
Towing in this manner may be done
only on a solid ground for a short dis-
tance and at a low speed. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering
and brakes must all be in good con-
dition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull avehicle out of mud, sand or others,
from which the vehicle cannot drive
out with its own power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than a towing vehicle.
The two drivers of the both vehi- cles should frequently communi-
cate each other.
Attach a towing strap to the tow hook.
Using other parts of the vehicle than the towing hooks while
towing may damage the vehicle.
Use only the authorized cables or chains for towing. Securely
fasten the cables or chains to
the towing hook.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Securely fasten the towing cable or chain to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Maintain a steady and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull the hook at a diagonal or
vertical angle. Always pull it
straight out.
NOTICE
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
Avoid a sudden start or abruptdriving maneuvers, which
may excessively stress the
emergency towing hooks,
cables or chains. The towing
hooks, cables or chains may
break and cause a serious
injury or damage.
When you cannot move your damaged or disabled vehicle,
do not forcibly try to tow the
vehicle. Contact an authorized
EQUUS dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle in a straight line.
Keep a distance away from the vehicle while towing.
WARNING

Use a towing strap, which is 16 feet(5 m) or shorter. Tie a white or red
cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
the better visibility.
Drive carefully not to loosen the towing strap, while towing.
Information
Emergency towing is illegal in some
states. Contact an authorized EQUUS
dealer and tow the vehicle.
Emergency towing precautions
Set the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with extraforce, because the brake perform-
ance may be reduced.
Put extra force into the steering wheel operation, because the
power steering system may be dis-
abled.
Driving down a long slope may overheat the brakes, reducing the
brake performance. Stop driving at
intervals and cool off the brake
system. - Automatic transmission
When the car is towed, dragging
all four wheels on the ground, it
should be done only in a forward
direction. Be sure to set the shift
lever in N(Neutral). Unlock the
steering wheel by pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
ACC position. A driver must be
in the towed vehicle to operate
both the steering wheel and
brakes.
To avoid a serious damage to the automatic transmission
while towing, limit the vehicle
speed to 10 mph (15 km/h) and
drive shorter than 1 mile (1.5
km).
Before towing, check any fluid lick of the automatic transmis-
sion. When it leaks, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.

Tire replacement
When a tire unevenly wears out, a
tread wear indicator, in a pattern of a
solid band, appears over the tread.
This indicates that there is less than
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left.
When finding it, replace the tire.
Do not delay the tire replacement,
until all the indicators appear over
the entire tire tread.
OEN076053
Tread wear indicator
- Replacing tires
To reduce the risk of a serious
or fatal injury, caused by a tire
failure or a loss of vehicle con-
trol, follow the below warnings:
Replace tires, which areseverely worn out, unevenly
wear out, or damaged. Worn-
out tires may degrade the
braking effects, steering con-
trol, and traction.
Do not drive your vehicle with overinflated or underinflated
tires. This may cause uneven
abrasion or a tire failure.
(Continued)
(Continued)
When replacing tires of yourvehicle, never mix radial-ply
tires and bias-ply tires. You
must replace all the tires
(including the spare) when
changing from radial-ply tires
to bias-ply tires.
Tires and wheels in the differ- ent sizes may cause abnormal
handling and poor vehicle
control, resulting in a serious
accident.
Wheels, which do not satisfy the HYUNDAI’s specifications,
may be unfit and result in a
vehicle damage, abnormal
handling and poor vehicle
control.
The ABS operates upon com- paring the wheel speeds. A
tire size determines a wheel
speed. When replacing tires,
all the tires must be in the
same size as the original
ones. Installing tires in a dif-
ferent size may cause irregu-
lar operation of the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).

Interior care
Interior general precautions
Do not use chemicals, such as per-
fume, cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand
cleaner, and air freshener, inside the
vehicle, because they may damage
or discolor the interior. When one of
the above materials contacts the
interior part, immediately wipe them
off. Refer to the vinyl-cleaning
instructions for the proper cleaning
procedure.
Cleaning the upholstery andinterior trim
Vinyl
Dust the vinyl off with a whisk broom
or vacuum cleaner. Clean a vinyl sur-
face with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Dust the fabric off with a whisk
broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean it
with a mild soap, recommended for
upholstery or carpets. Immediately
remove a stain with a fabric spot
cleaner. When a stain is not immedi-
ately removed, the stain may perma-
nently remain, and its color is
changed. Also, its fire-resistance
capacity is reduced, when the mate-
rial is not properly maintained.
Unauthorized cleaner or incorrect
cleaning procedures may impair
the fabric surface and the fire-
resistant capacity.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder beltwebbing
Clean the belt webbing with a mild
soap, recommended for cleaning
upholstery or carpet. Follow any
instructions of the soap. Do not
bleach or re-dye the webbing, as the
webbing surface may deteriorate.
Cleaning the interior windowglass
When the inner window surface
becomes fogged (possibly covered
with oily, greasy or waxy film), they
should be cleaned with a glass
cleaner. Follow any directions of the
glass cleaner.
Do not scrape or scratch the inner
surfaces of the rear windows. This
may damage the defroster grid of
the rear windows.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Never allow water or other liq-
uids to come in contact with
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as
this may damage them.
When cleaning leather prod- ucts (i.e. steering wheel and
seats), use a neutral detergent
or a low-alcohol solution.
When using a solution, which
is rich in alcohol, acid or alka-
line, the leather color may
fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
CAUTION
