System malfunction and limi-
tations
System malfunction
When Blind-Spot Safety system is
not working properly, the ‘Check
Blind-Spot Collision Warning system’
warning message will appear on the
cluster, and the system will turn off
automatically, or the system will be
limited. We recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
System disabled
When the rear bumper around the
rear corner radar or sensor is cov-
ered with foreign material, such as
snow or rain, or installing a trailer or
carrier, it can reduce the detecting
performance and temporarily limit or
disable Blind-Spot Safety system.
If this occurs, the ‘Blind-Spot
Collision Warning system disabled.
Radar blocked’ warning message will
appear on the cluster.
The System will operate normally
when such foreign material or trailer,
etc. is removed, and then the engine
is restarted.
•Driver should maintain con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.
Do not depend on Blind-Spot
Safety system. Maintain a safe
braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce driving speed
or to stop the vehicle.

Summer tires
• Summer tires are used to maxi-
mize the driving performance on
dry roads.
• If the temperature is below 45°F
(7°C) or you are driving on snowy
or icy roads, the summer tires lose
their brake performance and trac-
tion as the tire grip weakens signif-
icantly.
• If the temperature is below 45°F
(7°C) or you are driving on snowy
or icy roads, mount snow tires or
all-season tires of the same size
with your vehicle's standard tire for
safe driving. Both snow and all-
season tires have M+S markings.
• When using the M+S tires, use
tires with the same tread produced
by the same manufacturer for safe
driving.
• When driving with the M+S tires
with the lower maximum allowable
speed than that of the vehicle's
standard summer tire, be careful
not to exceed the speed allowed
for the M+S tires.
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tire chains on them.
Therefore the use of snow tires is
preferred over the use of tire chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels; if
unavoidable, use a wire or fabric type
snow chain.
If the road and weather conditions
require the use of tire chains, be sure
to use tire chains that have been
properly selected for the size of tire
on your HYUNDAI vehicle.
Be sure to follow the guidelines and
installation instructions provided
from the tire chain manufacturer.
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tire chain use is not cov-
ered by your vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.
If your vehicle has 235/35R19 size
tires, do not use tire chain; they
can damage your vehicle (wheel,
suspension and body).
Information
• Install tire chains on both left and
right front tires. It should be noted
that installing tire chains on the
tires will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side
skids.
• Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and
municipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.
i
NOTICE
The use of tire chains may
adversely affect vehicle han-
dling:
•Drive less than 20 mph
(30 km/h) or the chain manu-
facturer's recommended speed
limit, whichever 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.

Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze 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.
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. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you have parked the vehicle and
blocked the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.

Do not let ice and snow accu-
mulate 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.
Don't place foreign objects or
materials in the engine com-
partment
Placement of foreign object or mate-
rials which prevent cooling of the
engine, in the engine compartment,
may cause a failure or combustion.
The manufacturer is not responsible
for the damage caused by such
placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To 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 internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.
