Hyundai Elantra: Driving your vehicle / Winter Driving
The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions:
Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance...
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices...
Other information:
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major repair
expense.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement,
be sure the body shop applies anticorrosion
materials to the parts
repaired or replaced...
If you place the ignition switch in the
ACC or OFF position with the headlamps
ON, the headlamps (and/or parking
lamps) remain on for about 5 minutes.
However, with the engine off if the
driver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlamps (and/or parking lamps) are
turned off after 15 seconds...
