Parking brake
If the atmospheric temperature is be-
low freezing, park the vehicle with the
gearshift lever in 1st or reverse and do
not engage the parking brake. If the
parking brake is engaged and there is
moisture on the brake linings, the lin-
ings could become frozen to the brake
drums, making it impossible to release
the parking brake.
When parking on a steep slope, turn
the front wheels in towards the kerb
and chock the wheels.

Washing the vehicle
The salt and other chemicals spread
on winter roads in some areas can
have a detrimental effect on a vehicle
body. You should therefore wash the
vehicle as often as convenient in ac-
cordance with our care-instruction.
Have a preservative applied and the
underfloor protection checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer before
and after the cold weather season.
D180J01P-GAT
Weather strip
To prevent freezing of the weather
strip on the doors, the roof, etc., they
should be treated with silicone grease.
D180K01P-GAT
Snow tires
The use of snow tires is recommended
for driving in snow and ice. To pre-
serve driving stability, mount snow tires
of the same size and tread pattern on
all four wheels.
Snow tires worn more than 50% are no
longer suitable for use as snow tires.
Snow tires which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
NOTE:
The laws and regulations concern-
ing snow tires (driving speed, re-
quired use, type, etc.) vary. Find
out and follow the laws and regula-
tions in your area.
D180L01P-GAT
Tire chains
If tire chains are to be used, be sure
that they are mounted on the rear
wheels.
Use only tire chains which are de-
signed for use with the tires mounted
on the vehicle; use of the incorrect size
or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
Before driving over long stretches of
road which are free of snow, you should
remove the chains to avoid damage to
the tires.
NOTE:
The laws and regulations concern-
ing tire chains vary. Find out and
follow the laws and regulations in
your area.
