B740D01A-AAT
Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes to
expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioner off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioner is not used regularly, run the
air conditioner once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak operat-
ing condition.

C160D01A-AATCheck 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.
C160E01A-AAT
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.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol
Coolant
Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality eth-
ylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is
the only type of coolant that should be used
because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your
coolant in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is
sufficient for the temperatures anticipated dur-
ing the winter.
C160H01A-AAT
Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window
Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer system
from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze so-
lution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-
able 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.
C160F01A-AAT
Check Spark Plugs and Ignition
System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec-
tion 6 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.
C160G01A-AAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap-
proved 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 heated key with care to avoid injury.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!
!WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving
parts such as the fan and drive belts to
prevent injury.
D030A02A-AAT
If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-
ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on,
turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until the cool-
ant has stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of 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 to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air
conditioner had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im-
mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal-
er for assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause serious
burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-
ing, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add water to the reservoir
(Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-
pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-
tance. Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became
discharged (because the lights were left on,
etc.), have the charging system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.

Spare Tire Pressure
D040A01A-AAT
The following instructions for the temporary spare
tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is prac-
tical after installing the spare tire, and adjust
to the specified pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and main-
tained at the specified pressure while the tire
is stored.!
Tire Size
Inflation PressureT105/70D(R)14
60 psi (414 kPa)
CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.5. The temporary spare tire should not be used
on any other wheels, nor should standard
tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used with the temporary spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to these
items or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be
checked once a month while the tire is stored.
!
2. The spare tire should only be used tempo-
rarily and should be returned to the luggage
compartment as soon as the original tire can
be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph
(80 km/h) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used
on any other vehicle.
CAUTION:o Do not use snow chains with your tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one temporary
spare tire at a time.
