FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer system. A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should bechecked more frequently during bad weather orwhenever the washer system is in more fre-quent use. The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.0 liters (3.2 U.S. quarts). CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish.

The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu-mulations of road film or other debris. To cleanthe wiper blades and arms, use a clean spongeor cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water.If the wipers continue to streak or smear the
glass, replace them with Genuine Hyundai Re-
placement Parts or their equivalent. NOTE:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass.
CAUTION: Operating your vehicle without a proper air filter in place can result in excessive enginewear.

3. High speed operation.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the wiper system,
do not attempt to wipe away heavy accu-mulations of snow or ice.
Accumulated snow and ice should be
removed manually. If there is only a lightlayer of snow or ice, operate the heater inthe defrost mode to melt the snow or icebefore using the wiper. SB230A1-E

Windscreen Washer Operation
To use the windscreen washer, pull the wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel. When the washer lever is operated, the wipers auto-matically make two passes across thewindscreen. The washer continues to operateuntil the lever is released.
NOTE:
o Do not operate the washer more than 15 seconds at a time or when the fluidreservoir is empty.
o In icy or freezing weather, be sure the wiper blades are not frozen to the glassprior to operating the wipers.
o In areas where water freezes in winter, use windscreen washer antifreeze. B350B01O-DAG

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or useengine coolant anti-freeze since damage tothe paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice built up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroad wheels or steering mechanism. Insuch instances, unusual noises or an in-crease in steering effort may result. There-fore, ensure that the wheel arches arechecked periodically and any accumulatedsnow or ice removed.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,blankets etc., if a journey is to be under-taken into areas of severe road conditions.

Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism becomefrozen, a proprietary lock de-icer should beused. Alternatively, warming the door keymay thaw the door lock. However, the keyshould be handled carefully to avoid burningthe fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the water will eventu-ally freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the im-mobilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F (-40°Cto 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer keyover 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock,it may cause damage to the transponderin its head.
SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and Wipers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winter screen wash additive. The windscreenwipers should not be used if the blades arefrozen to the windscreen or if they are cov-ered with snow, before this is removed.
ZC170B1-E
Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demandsupon vehicle electrical systems, particularlythe charging circuit. The battery condition andperformance along with the alternator perfor-mance and drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitorThe cooling system must always contain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution.The system is filled during manufacture withsolution of the correct strength which shouldbe checked before the onset of winter andadjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of thealuminum castings contained within theengine. Therefore, never, drain the systemand refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,to prevent the heater matrix from freezing andsubsequently bursting with the refrigerationsystem in use.
