C190F01A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch andsafety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/H).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical chaarging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive (au- tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire. 7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer 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,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks ateach of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working. 11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration 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, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed toreduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going
uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera- tor. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently.

!WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if the engine coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant tothe reservoir (page 6-11) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call aHyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of engine coolant indi-cates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. D040A01GK-GAT The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as
practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pres- sure. The tire pressure should beperiodically checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Spare Tire Pressure TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
5. The temporary spare tire should notbe used on any other wheels, norshould standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage to these items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tire is stored.
Tire Size
Inflation Pressure T125/70R 16
420 kPa (60 psi)
2. The spare tire should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the luggage compartment as soon as the original tire can be repaired orreplaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over
80 km/h (50 mph) is not recom-mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically designed for your car, itshould not be used on any other vehicle. CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one tempo-
rary spare tire at a time.

D060B02GK-AAT 1. Obtain Spare Tire and Tool Remove the spare tire and remove the jack and tool bag from the trunk. The jack is located behind the rightside of luggage trim. Remove the jack cover by unscrewing the bolts. Turn the jack end counterclockwise to lowerthe jack height by using a screw driver or wrench bar and remove it from the bracket.

D060D02A-AAT 3. Loosen Wheel Nuts The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosenthe nuts, turn the wrench handle coun- terclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated completelyover the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position the wrench so the handle is to the left asshown in the drawing. Then, while holding the wrench near the end of the handle, push down on it with steadypressure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one- half turn. D060E01A-AAT 4. Put the Jack in Place The base of the jack should be placed on firm, level ground. The jack shouldbe positioned as shown in the drawing.
D060F02E-AAT 5. Raising the Car After inserting a bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the bar into the jack asshown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the jack handle clock- wise. As the jack begins to raise thevehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and will not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, place aboard, brick, flat stone or other object under the base of the jack to keep it from sinking.Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this, you will need more groundclearance than is required to remove the flat tire.Wrench barHGK4012

!WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the jack could fall and cause serious injury or death.No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used. D060G02Y-AAT 6. Changing Wheels Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip the wheelslightly and get the top hole 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.
!WARNING:
Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place,be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with thewheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on themounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could come loose and cause the loss of awheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death. D060G02GK

!WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effective-ness, steering control and trac- tion. When replacing tires, never mix radial and bias-ply tires onthe same car. If you replace ra- dial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizesmay cause unusual handling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury or prop-erty damage. I100A01FC-GAT

I090A01S-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tireshould be replaced when these ap- pear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Alwaysreplace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim widthand offset must meet Hyundai speci- fications. HGK5015

YC200E1-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar ball
and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 60mph).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency, do not tow a trailer with thetransaxle engaged in an overdrive gear.
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
