DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluidadditive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to the paintwork may result.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear the screen properly due to the formation of ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be necessary to periodically remove such ice to 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. In such instances, unusual noises or an in- crease in steering effort may result. There- fore, ensure that the wheel arches are checked periodically and any accumulated snow 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. SC200B3-E
TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an
Hyundai Approved towing attachment is usedto ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and con- structed to ensure maximum towing perfor- mance and ease of fitment. A range of acces- sories including electrical kits are available through the Hyundai authorised repairer net- work.
It is of the utmost importance that those areas
of the vehicle which are subjected to greaterstress during towing are maintained in accor- dance with the recommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operating checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety. The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in
achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilstthe use of such equipment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit.
The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the
trailer or caravan must be maintained in ac- cordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. Special attention should be paid
WARNING: It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for towing until the first 1,000 miles of Running in has been completed. All Hyundai MATRIX models are suited to tow- ing trailers and caravans up to the limits indicated on page 2-14. MATRIX models fitted with automatic transaxle have a transaxle oil cooler and further transaxle cooling should not be required.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety
of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are required at specific mileage ortime intervals.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to
ensure that the maintenance schedules shownin both this Owners Manual and the Warrantyand Service Passport are adhered to.
The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if the routine maintenance operations are notperformed in line with the recommendationsoutlined and the safety and durability of thevehicle adversely affected.
It is recommended that all maintenance op-
erations with the exception of the daily oper-ating checks are entrusted to a Hyundaiauthorised repairer to ensure that the latestrepair and maintenance procedures andspecialised servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai re-
placement parts will ensure that the vehiclesafety and performance will not be compro-mised. NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec-
tronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic transmission control sys-tems require specialised electronic equip-ment specifically designed for Hyundaivehicles. The use of general purpose elec-trical test equipment may result in dam-age to the control unit microprocessors.

Specified Scheduled Procedures The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-2. The operations specified must be per-formed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage intervalhas been reached before the specified timeinterval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended thatthe maintenance operations are performed bythe factory-trained or distributor-trained tech-nicians at your Hyundai authorised repairer because of the need for specialised knowl-edge and tooling and to ensure that no pos-sibility of invalidating the manufacturers war-ranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to ve-
hicles operated under normal conditions, ve-hicles which are operated under adverseconditions will require more frequent mainte-nance which is described at page 5-5. NOTE:
Service schedules may change depend-
ing on individual country needs. Please ask your local Hyundai authorised re-pairer for a copy of the service schedulethat relates to that country.
SF030B1-E
SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenanceservices are recorded in the warranty andservice passport to ensure that proof of main-tenance is available when warranty service isrequired.
