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.

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.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the parking brakeor footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone),taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selection in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.
being passed by a large vehicle, keep aconstant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow
down to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets you
check your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransaxle to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine overloading
and or overheating.
WARNING:
o The tongue load should never exceed;
Auto Transaxle : 55.1 lb Manual Transaxle 9: 61.7 lb
o Maximun permissible mass of the cou- pling device (ATOS VAN only) : 44 lb
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steering and brak- ing performance causing a crash in which
you may be seriously injured or killed.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 62 MPH).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When

6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be
found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant hasbeen lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the base of the radiator fill
opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank tothe halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is established that the engine is operating normally. If theengine overheats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. 3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain
inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on amotorway, the passengers should take ref-uge on the motorway embankment to avoidthe possibility of injury occurring should thevehicle be struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed ac- cording to the following instructions.

Emergency Towing
D080D01X
For emergency towing when no commercial
tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,
chain or strap to the two hooks under the frontof your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle
in this manner on any unpaved surface. Thiscould result in serious damage to your car.
Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive
train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neu-
tral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-ning). A driver must be in the towed car to steer
it and operate the brakes. D120A02A-GAT

moved. Should any damage to or deterioration of the underbody coating be apparent, the ad-vice of a Hyundai dealer regarding the use of acompatible repair material should be sought.
NOTE: The underbody should never be steam
cleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process.
During the interim period between power wash-
ing the underbody, the more vulnerable areassuch as wheelarches should be hosed off,particularly during the winter season to preventprolonged contact of road salt with the body. Ensure that the various drain points located at
bottom of the door panels are kept clear, toprevent water becoming trapped within the cavi-ties. Wherever possible, the parking of thevehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location(e.g.) garage should be avoided when the vehi-cle is wet or covered with snow or ice. Underthese conditions, the internal cavities of thevehicle will remain damp for long periods oftime which encourage corrosion. Parking thevehicle where good ventilation exists is prefer-able.

Underbody Coatings Every Hyundai passenger car receives a full
underbody and cavity injection treatment duringproduction. In order that this treatment mayretain maximum effectiveness, it is recommend-ed that the underbody receives a power washand a thorough inspection after each winterseason.

VALETING
Regular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves
two important functios. Firstly, the removal ofabrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain thelustre of the paintwork and will preventdiscolouration and dulling due to prolonged con-tact.
Secondly, the presence of damage through
impact or abrasion will be apparent allowingearly rectification to be made thus preventingcorrosion from becoming established andspreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "wa-ter spotting" the vehicle should not be washedin direct sunlight particularly in the case ofvehicles having dark body colours. The heatfrom the sun rays is absorbed by the paint filmincreasing the surface temperature. This actioncauses water used for washing to evaporatequickly leaving behind the deposits from thewater and the shampoo used. Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose
and ensure that the body work is thoroughlywetted to soften the dirt film prior to attemptingto remove this.
After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge,
the body work should be thoroughly rinsed andthen dried with a good quality ch mois leather toprevent streaking or spotting of the paint work.

CORROSION PREVENTION & APPEARANCE CARE
4-2 Household detergents, solvents and abrasive
cleaning materials should not be used in order ot avoid damaging the paint film.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a
sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should becleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent.Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lacquer coat-ing, oxidisation of the aluminium wheel willoccur, spoiling the appearance.
The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate clean-
ing between the wheel "spokes". JE080A1-E
BUMPER MAINTENANCE
The special material from which the bumpersare manufactured warrants special attention topreserve the appearance of thebumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluidand ensure that accidental spillages are imme-diately flushed with water. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera- tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaing ovens.
JE060A1-E
STAIN/SPOT REMOVAL Should tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be
difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat.
JE070A1-E
POLISHING The exterior paint work should be polished with
a proprietary wax polish when water no longercollects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. JE090A1-E
ACCIDENT REPAIRS In the event of the body work sustaining dam-age, the following points should be noted priorto repairs being undertaken. If body panels are replaced or repaired, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to therepair area. The product used must be compat-ible with those used in manufacture. It is recom-mended that repairs are entrusted to a Hyundaidealer to ensure that replacement parts usedare of the same high quality as those used inmanufacture of the vehicle and that the correctrepair methods and materials will ensure ade-quate levels of corrosion protection and thecontinued validity of the Anti Perforation War-ranty.

SEAT BELTS
Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mildsoap solution. Strong detergents, solvens orbleaches may damage the belt webbing andtherefore reduce the effectiveness of the belt.Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cutshould be replaced. JE110A1-E
INTERIOR VALETING
The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of a vacuum cleaner. Heavysoiling should be removed with a dry cleaningagent recommended for this purpose followingthe instructions of the product manufacturer.Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaningmaterials should not be used since damage tothe upholstery may result. JE120A1-E
WINDOWS
A proprietary glass cleaner should be used to clean the inside of the windows. However, therear heated windscreen must only be cleanedusing a light horizontal cleaning action. Careshould be exercised to avoid the use of abra-sive cleaners or contact with items of jewellerywhich may damage the heating elements.
