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 cooling system, lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with themaintenance schedule in section 7.
Before winter, have your coolant tested toassure that its freezing point is sufficient
for the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the bat-
tery and cables as described in section
7. The level of charge in your battery can
be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or a service station. 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 8
for recommendations. If you aren't sure
what weight oil you should use, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
section 7 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and compo-
nents to be sure they are not cracked,
worn or damaged in any way.
WARNING
- Tire chains
The use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed limit, whichev-
er 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.
CAUTION
Chains that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-pension, body and wheels.
Stop driving and retighten the chains any time you hear themhitting the vehicle.

Specifications & Consumer information

: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
* 2
: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ -
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil
flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils
can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance, however, higher
viscosity engine oils are required for sat-
isfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those rec-ommended could result in engine dam-
age.When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change.Proceed to select the recommended oil
viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, ordipstick before checking or drain-ing any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used onunpaved roads. Cleaning the plugand dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that couldbe damaged.

: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity
grade SAE 0W-40, 5W-30, 5W-40 (API Service SL, SM / ACEA A5 or above).
* 2
: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity
grade SAE 5W-20,5W-30 (API SL, SM / ILSAC GF-3 or above). However, if the
engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using the
engine oil viscosity chart.
* 3
: In Middle East, do not use the engine oil of viscosity grade SAE 5W-20.
* 4
: If your vehicle follows 30,000 km/ 1 year interval in normal maintenance schedule,
use the engine oil of viscosity grade, SAE 5W-30 or SAE 0W-30.
