TOWING ATTACHMENTS
It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai
Approved towing attachment is used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structureare correctly distributed. The use of a nonapproved attachment will result in the invalida-tion of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towingattachments are designed and constructed toensure maximum towing performance and easeof fitment. A range of accessories includingelectrical kits and mirrors are available throughthe Hyundai dealer network.
It is of the utmost importance that those areas
of the vehicle which are subjected to greaterstress during towing are maintained in accor-dance with the recommendations given at theend of this book. In addition, the daily operatingchecks relating to engine oil, transaxle oil andtyres must be performed at each refuelling toensure maximum reliability and safety.
The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in
achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilstthe use of such equipment will improve thecharacteristics of a balanced outfit, it will notcompensate for a badly loaded and thereforeunstable outfit.
The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the
trailer or caravan must be maintained in accor-dance with the recommendations of the manu-facturer. Special attention should be paid totyres which deteriorate through time and expo- sure rather than as a result of the distancestowed. The inside walls of the tyres should beinspected along with the outside walls for crack-ing and damage. The trailer wheel nut torquemust be checked on a regular basis, preferablybefore each towing session.
The trailer towbar hitch and the safety catch
mechanism must be maintained in good work-ing order. The trailer break away cable or cableshould be inspected for damage and should beattached to the vehicle towing attachment eachand every time the trailer is hitched to thevehicle.
Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle
will be reduced in terms of acceleration, brakingand handling due to the increased loads placedupon the vehicle. The driver should anticipatethe change in characteristics and adjust thedriving style in keeping with these changes.Care should be exercised when cornering andbraking to prevent the outfit becoming uncon-trollable by reducing cornering speeds and al-lowing increased braking distances.
The driver should exercise care to ensure that
when pulling away from rest particularly onuphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjectedto excessive slippage which will reduce theuseful life of this component. Use of the "Over-drive Off" "2" and "L" positions when drivingvehicles with automatic transaxle will assistwith braking performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improved accelera-tion performance will be available by selecting"Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon roadspeed if it is found that the transaxle unit makesan undesirable upshift whilst hill climbing orovertaking. The transaxle unit should be oper-ated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" undernormal circumstances to enhance fuel economyand reduce noise and engine wear.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
the transaxle selector is at the "P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and connections to ensure that these are clean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lamps dim when the engine is cranked and the battery terminalshave been checked, a discharged battery isindicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start the ve- hicle, refer to "Jump Starting" for informationregarding engine starting when the battery isdischarged.

3. IN CASE OF EMER-
GENCY
SD020A1-E IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT STARTSeek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to the method of ignition and fuelsystem diagnosis. WARNING: If the engine refuses to start, no attemptshould be made to push or tow start thevehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxle orfuel injection will not be able to be started inthis manner since no drive is transmittedthrough the automatic transaxle whilst theengine is not running, and in the case of fuelinjected derivatives, the fuel pump will notoperate under tow start conditions. In addi-tion, if the vehicle is equipped with an ex-haust catalyst, damage to the catalyst mayresult if the vehicle is tow started. SD020B1-E IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressedwhilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle isfitted with automatic transaxle, ensure that D010C01A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel Level.
2. With the key in the off position, check all
connectors at ignition coils and spark plugs.Reconnect any that may be disconnected orloose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.
D010D01A-AAT If Engine Stalls While Driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautionsly off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer orseek other qualified assistance. SD030A1-E JUMP STARTING

WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should neverbe stored in an unsealed container. The pres-ence of water in the braking system will causevapour locks and increase the possibility ofbrake fade along with promoting corrosionwithin the braking system. The brake fluidmust be changed at the specified time ormileage interval to ensure continued safeoperation of the system. Brake fluid will causerapid and serious damage to paintwork. Ifaccidental spillage occurs, the affected areamust be rinsed with water immediately. Donot allow brake fluid to come into contactwith the eyes or to be ingested and ensurethat fluid is safely stored away form the reachof children. SG130A1-C CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID (Not all models)To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other under bonnetchecks. The system should be checked for leak-age at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always be-tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid lossindicates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired immediately.
SG130B2-E Adding FluidRecommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap mustbe fully tightened to avoid contamination fromforeign matter or moisture. CAUTION: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should neverbe stored in an unsealed container. Do notallow petroleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubberseals of the system may result. WARNING: Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious dam-age to paintwork. If accidental spillage oc-curs, the affected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluidto come into contact with the eyes or to beingested and ensure that fluid is safely storedaway form the reach of children. SG140A1-E AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMMAINTENANCE Condenser Ensure that the condenser is periodically in- spected and that accumulations of dirt, deadinsects and leaves etc, are removed to ensurethat the efficiency of the system is not impaired.Care must be exercised to ensure that the con-denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.
