Use Approved Anti-Freeze in
Window Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
anti-freeze solution in accordance with
instructions on the container. Window
washer anti-freeze is available from
Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze as these
may damage the finish.

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 cov-
ered 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 heated key with care
to avoid injury.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using
the immobilizer key is from -40°C (-
40°F) to 80°C(176°F). If you heat the
immobilizer key over 80°C to open
the frozen lock, it may cause dam-
age to the transponder in its head.

Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in
Section 6. The level of charge in your
battery can be checked by your Hyundai
dealer or a service station.

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described
in Section 6 and replace them if neces-
sary. Also check all ignition wiring and
components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.

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
Section 9 for recommendations. If you
aren't sure what weight oil you should
use, consult your Hyundai dealer.

Don't Let Your Parking Brake
Freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. 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" (automatic) or in
first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
