Ty r e ch a i n s
As the sidewalls of radial tyres are
thinner than other types of tyres, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tyre chains on them.
Do not mount tyre chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminium wheels; if
unavoidable use a wire type chain. If
tyre chains must be used, use gen-
uine HYUNDAI parts and install the
tyre chain after reviewing the instruc-
tions provided with the tyre chains.
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tyre chain use is not cov-
ered by your vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.
Information
• Install tyre chains on the front tyres.
It should be noted that installing
tyre chains on the tyres will provide
a greater driving force, but will not
prevent side skids.
• Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
i
OAD055077
The use of tyre chains may
adversely affect vehicle han-
dling:
•Drive less than 30 km/h or the
chain manufacturer's recom-
mended speed limit, whichev-
er is lower.
•Drive carefully and avoid
bumps, holes, sharp turns,
and other road hazards, which
may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
•Avoid sharp turns or locked
wheel braking.

Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures increase bat-
tery consumption.Inspect the bat-
tery and cables, as specified in the
chapter 7.The battery charging level
can be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer or in a service sta-
tion.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the "winter
weight" oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to chapter
8. When you are not sure about a
type of winter weight oil, consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect the spark plugs, as speci-
fied in chapter 7.If necessary,
replace them. Also check all ignition
wirings and components for any
cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To p r e v e n t l o c k s f r o m f r e e z i n g
To p r e v e n t t h e l o c k s f r o m b e i n g
frozen, spray approved de-icing fluid
or glycerin into key holes. When a
lock opening is already covered with
ice, spray approved de-icing fluid
over the ice to remove it. When an
internal part of a lock freezes, try to
thaw it with a heated key. Use the
heated key carefully to avoid an
injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze solution in system
To p r e v e n t t h e w i n d o w w a s h e r f r o m
being frozen, add authorised window
washer anti-freeze solution, as spec-
ified on the window washer contain-
er. Window washer anti-freeze solu-
tion is available from an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer, and most vehicle
accessory outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to
the vehicle paint.

Driving your vehicle
Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under 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. When
there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze, temporarily apply
it with 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 accumu-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the wheel
arches and interfere with the steer-
ing. When driving in such conditions
during a severe winter, you should
check underneath the vehicle on a
regular basis, to ensure that the front
wheels and steering components are
unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather condi-
tions, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment, whilst driv-
ing. Some of the items you may want
to carry include tyre chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emer-
gency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials
in the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because they may block the engine
cooling. Such damage will not be
covered by the manufacturer's war-
ranty.

What to do in an emergency
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the
shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
and then push the vehicle to a safe
location.
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing:
•Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down whilst driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
•When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park,
for automatic transmission) or neu-
tral (for manual transmission vehi-
cle), apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
•Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
•When changing a flat tyre, follow
the instructions provided later in
this chapter.

What to do in an emergency
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over-
heating. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park, for
automatic transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle) and set the parking brake.
If the air conditioning is ON, turn it
OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out
under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from the bonnet, stop the
engine. Do not open the bonnet
until the coolant has stopped run-
ning or the steaming has stopped.
If there is no visible loss of engine
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off.
4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had been
in use, it is normal for cold water to
be draining from it when you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and we rec-
ommend that you call an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
IIFF TTHHEE EENNGGIINNEE OOVVEERRHHEEAATTSS
Whilst the engine is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the mov-
ing parts such as the
cooling fan and drive
belt to prevent seri-
ous injury.
WA R N I N G
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
Tu r n t h e e n g i n e o f f a n d w a i t
until the engine cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the radiator cap. Wrap a
thick towel around it, and turn it
anticlockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back whilst the pres-
sure is released from the cool-
ing system. When you are sure
all the pressure has been
released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning anticlockwise
to remove it.
