C160K01A-AATCarry Emergency EquipmentDepending on the severity of the weather
where you drive your car, you should
carry appropriate emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains,
flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket,
etc.
C160H01A-AATUse Approved Anti-Freeze in Win-
dow Washer SystemTo 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.C160G01A-AATTo Keep Locks from FreezingTo 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 heated
key with care to avoid injury.
C160I01A-AATDon't Let Your Parking Brake FreezeUnder 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 you think 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 re-
lease the parking brake.C160J01A-AATDon't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
UnderneathUnder some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the move-
ment of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.

red color. As driving distance increases,
the fluid color turns darkish red gradu-
ally. It is a normal condition and you
should not judge the need to replace
based upon the changing color.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance with inter-
vals specified in the vehicle mainte-
