Battery
The capacity of the battery is reduced
at low temperatutes.
This is an inevitable result of its chemi-
cal and physical properties. This is
why a very cold battery, particularly
one that is not fully charged anyway,
will only deliver a fraction of the starter
current which is normally available.
It is recommended that you have the
battery checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer before the start of
cold weather and, if necessary, have it
charged.
This not only ensures reliable starting,
but a battery which is kept fully charged
also has a longer life.

Washer fluid
To ensure proper operation of the wind-
shield or rear window at low tempera-
tures, anti-freeze should be added to
the washer fluid at a rate of one part
antifreeze to one part water.

Wiper blades
Before operating the wipers, check the
wiper blades to confirm that they are
not frozen to the windshield or tailgate.
If the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield or tailgate, do not operate the
wipers until the ice has melted and the
blades are freed.

Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in the headlight
housing on the assistant seat side
should be brushed clear after a heavy
snowfall so that the operation of the
heating and ventilation systems will
not be impaired.
STARTING AND OPERATING
C160G02A-AAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine
into the key opening. If a lock is cov-
ered 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 burning your fingers.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using
the immobilizer key is from -40°C to
80°C. If you heat the immobilizer
key over 80°C to open the frozen
lock, it may cause damage to the
transponder in its head.

Door locks
To prevent the door locks from freez-
ing up, the lock cylinders should be
masked with tape, etc., when washing
the vehicle in cold weather to prevent
the entrance of water.
