DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when thebrakes are applied. Also, a noise may beheard in the engine compartment while brak-ing. These conditions are normal and indi-cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-tioning properly. WARNING: Your ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers.Even though vehicle control is improvedduring emergency braking, always maintaina safe distance between you and objectsahead. Vehicle speeds should always bereduced during extreme road conditions.The braking distance for cars equipped withan anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the followingroad conditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at reduced speeds. The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This couldendanger the safety of yourself or others.
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor- rectly. Improper alignment can result fromhitting curbs or driving too fast over irregularsurfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tirewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don’t carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fueleconomy.
o Don’t let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou’re ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not require ex- tended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more miles from yourcar if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don’t make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don’t race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don’t have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al- ways maintain a safe distance from othervehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak-ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don’t "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results in

hitch, trailer tongue load and other op- tional equipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica-tion plate (see page 8-1). It is possiblethat your towing package does not ex-
ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR.Improper trailer loading and/or too muchluggage in the trunk can overload therear axle. Redistribute the load and checkthe axle weight again.
4. The maximum permissible overhang of the coupling point : 22.44 in. (ATOS VAN : 22.36 in.)

Tongue load Total trailer weight
Tongue loads can be increased or decreased
by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the total weight of theloaded trailer and then checking the load on thetongue.
NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% ofthe trailer load should be in the front halfon the trailer and the remaining 40% inthe rear.
2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross VehicleWeight Rating (GVWR) shown on thevehicle identification plate (see page 8-1). The total gross vehicle weight is thecombined weight of the vehicle, driver,all passengers and their luggage, cargo,

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
G290A01V
Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure
of the following.
Vertical aiming
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pres- sure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down sev- eral times.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, andspare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driveror equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight (Low beam).
5. Open the bonnet.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of each headlight) and the horizontal line(through the centre of each headlight) on theaiming screen.
1) Horizontal line dimension from ground:25.43 in. (646 mm)
2) Distance between each vertical line: 38.89 in. (988 mm)And then, draw the parallel line at 1.18 in. (30 mm) place under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -VERTICAL AIMING
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the each vertical line with a phillips screw-driver - HORIZONTAL AIMING. G290B01X-EAT
Adjustment After Headlight Assembly Replacement
If the vehicle has had front body repair and the headlight assembly has been replaced, theheadlight aiming should be checked using theaiming screen as shown in the illustration. Turnon the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is parallel to centre line of the body and isaligned with point "P" shown in the illustra-tion.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show centre of headlights. G290B01S-DAG
