Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu-
late Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driv-
ing in severe winter conditions where
this may happen, you should periodi-
cally check underneath the car to be
sure the movement of the front wheels
and the steering components is not
obstructed.

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 injury.

Use Approved Anti-Freeze in
Window Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
anti-freeze solution in accordance with
instructions on the container. Window
washer anti-freeze is available from
Hyundai dealers and most auto parts
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze as these
may damage the finish.

Don't Let Your Parking Brake
Freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of snow
or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk
the parking brake may freeze, apply it
only temporarily while you put the gear
selector lever in first or reverse gear
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
