DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not use fifth 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 tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown 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 tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck 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.
WARNING:
o The tongue load should never exceed;
Auto: 25kgManual : 28kg
o Maximun permissible mass of the cou- pling device (ATOS VAN only) : 20kg

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3-3
WARNING: While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts toprevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the en- gine immediately and call the nearestHyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if engine coolanthas been lost, carefully remove the radiator
cap and add engine coolant to bring the fluidlevel in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.
CAUTION: Serious loss of engine coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by aHyundai dealer. D040A01A-GAT

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediatelyor attempt to pull off the road as this may
cause a loss of control. When the car hasslowed to such a speed that it is safe to doso, brake carefully and pull off the road.Drive off the road as far as possible and
park on firm, level ground. If you are on adivided highway, do not park in the medianarea between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emer- gency hazard flashers, set the parking brakeand put the transaxle in "P" (automatic
transaxle) or reverse (manual transaxle)
3. Have all passengers get out of the car. Be sure they all get out on the side of the carthat is away from traffic.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
The procedure described on the following pages can be used to rotate tires as well as to change
a flat tire. When preparing to change a flat tire,check to be sure the gear selector lever is in "P"(automatic transaxle) or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and that the parking brake is set,then: D060B01FC-GAT
1. Obtain Spare Tire and Tool
Remove the spare tire and take out the jack and
tool bag from the luggage room.
NOTE:The jack is located beneath the luggage mat
in the vehicle. Block the wheel that is diagonally opposite fromthe flat to keep the vehicle from rolling when thecar is raised on the jack.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3-5
Wheel nut Wrench
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly
before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turnthe wrench handle counterclockwise. Whendoing this, be sure that the socket is seatedcompletely over the nut so it cannot slip off. Formaximum leverage position the wrench so thehandle is to the right as shown in the drawing.Then, while holding the wrench near the end ofthe handle, pull up on it with steady pressure.Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosenthem about one-half turn.

4. Put the Jack in Place
The base of the jack should be placed on firm,
level ground. The jack should be positioned asshown in the drawing. D060F02E-AAT
5. Raising the Car D060G01A-AAT
6. Changing Wheels
AS30120A
After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turnthe wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jackbegins to raise the vehicle, double check that itis properly positioned and will not slip. If thejack is on soft ground or sand, you may find itnecessary to place a board, brick, flat stone orother object under the base of the jack to keepit from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this,you will need more ground clearance than isrequired to remove the flat tire.
WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is sup-
ported by the jack. This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause seriousinjury or death. No one should stay in thecar while the jack is being used. Use the wrench to loosen the wheel nuts, thenremove them with your fingers. Remove thewheel cover (if installed) from the wheel andslide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so itcannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with thestuds and slide the wheel onto them. If this isdifficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the tophole in the wheel lined up with the top stud.Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until thewheel can be slid over the other studs.

o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car topcarrier. I040A01A-GAT
SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, they
should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the driverside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewallwhichever is less.
Do not drive faster than the speed limit when
your car is equipped with snow tires. I050A01X-GAT TIRE CHAINSTire chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are theproper size and that they are installed in accor-dance with the manufacturer's instructions.
