DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 10 CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system di-
rectly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay close attention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to
ensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial towards"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so, and allow the engine toidle until it cools down. You may proceed
once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
C190D01A-GAT
Safety Chains Should the hitch connection between your carand the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, thetrailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately col-lide with another vehicle. To eliminate this po-tentially dangerous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer ortowed vehicle, are required in most provinces.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice build up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroadwheels or steering mechanism. In suchinstances, unusual noises or an increase insteering effort may result. Therefore, ensurethat the wheelarches are checked periodi-cally and any accumulated snow or iceremoved.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip- ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken intoareas of severe road conditions. CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 1,200 miles in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure to heedthis caution may result in serious engine ortransaxle damage.
C190B01S-AAT
Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use aquality non-equalizing hitch which distributesthe tongue load uniformly throughout the chas-sis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY
INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C190A01A-EAT
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
If you are considering towing with your car, you
should first check with your Province Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legalrequirements.
Since laws vary from province to province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or othertypes of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing. C190C01X-GAT
Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent maintenance due tothe additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-4.
