DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
SMOOTH CORNERING

C150A01A-AAT
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be
held to a minimum.
WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-AAT
The more severe weather conditions
of winter result in greater wear and
other problems. To minimize the prob-
lems of winter driving, you should fol-
low these suggestions:

Snowy or Icy Conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or
to install tire chains on your tires. If
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and
type to the original equipment tires.
Failure to do so may adversely affect
the safety and handling of your car.
Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden
brake applications, and sharp turns
are potentially very hazardous prac-
tices. During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause skids to occur. You
need to keep sufficient distance be-
tween the vehicle in front and your
vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It
should be noted that installing tire
chains on the tire will provide a greater
driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.
NOTE:
Tire chains are not legal in all prov-
inces. Check province laws before
fitting tire chains.

Use High Quality Ethylene
Glycol Coolant
Your Hyundai 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, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace
or replenish your coolant in accor-
dance with the maintenance schedule
in Section 5. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freez-
ing point is sufficient for the tempera-
tures anticipated during the winter.
