Driving your vehicle
Use wire chains less than 12 mm
wide to prevent damage to the
chain’s connection.
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.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance.Inspect the battery
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 prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being
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. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.

Maintenance
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Spark plugs
(for Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
(for Petrol Engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid is changed by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transmission fluid colour is
red when new.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
This is a normal condition. It does not
need to be replaced based on the colour
change.
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-
function and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transmission fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in chapter 8.)
Manual transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
NOTICE
i
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.
