The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in achieving an inherently stableoutfit but whilst the use of such equip-ment will improve the characteristicsof a balanced outfit, it will not compen- sate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be main-tained in accordance with the recom- mendations of the manufacturer. Spe- cial attention should be paid to tyreswhich deteriorate through time andexposure rather than as a result of thedistances towed. The inside walls ofthe tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torquemust be checked on a regular basis,preferably before each towing ses-sion. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mechanism must be maintained in goodworking order. The trailer break awaycable or chain should be inspected fordamage and should be attached to thevehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of thevehicle will be reduced in terms ofacceleration, braking and handling dueto the increased loads placed upon thevehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and ad- just the driving style in keeping withthese changes. Care should be exer-cised when cornering and braking toprevent the outfit becoming uncontrol-lable by reducing cornering speeds and allowing increased braking dis- tances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away fromrest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to exces- sive slippage which will reduce theuseful life of this component. Use ofthe "Overdrive Off" "2" and "L" posi-tions when driving vehicles with auto-matic transmission will assist with brak- ing performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improvedacceleration performance will be avail-able by selecting "Overdrive Off","2",or "1" depending upon road speed if itis found that the transmission unit makes an undesirable upshift whilst hill climbing or overtaking. The trans- mission unit should be operated in "D"with the Overdrive "On" under normalcircumstances to enhance fueleconomy and reduce noise and en-gine wear.
CAUTION:
The use of a badly loaded or over-loaded trailer may result in instabil- ity. This following specifications arerecommended when towing atrailer. The loaded trailer weight orthe Gross Train Weight must notexceed the values in the following chart .

2- 20 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is toomuch wind buffeting slow down toget out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn yourfront wheel into the curb, set theparking brake firmly, and put the transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition,place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer's tyres.
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 thebrakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection atthe same time.
10. During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights andany 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 tooverheat, resulting in reduced brak-ing efficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into
a lower gear and use the enginebraking effect.When ascending a long grade,
downshift the transaxle to a lowergear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading 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 automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the park- ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION:
If overheating should occur whentowing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
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 neu- tral and idle the engine at a higherspeed.

3- 6 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
SD060A1-E
IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
If a puncture occurs whilst driving the
vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is
safe to do so and with the minimum
amount of braking required which
will assist in maintaining the maxi-
mum amount of control. The vehicle
should be parked wherever pos-
sible upon firm level ground to facili-
tate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not per-
mit the wheel to be changed safely,
assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to
remain inside the vehicle during
wheel changing. If a puncture oc-
curs whilst the vehicle is on a
motorway, the passengers should
take refuge on the motorway em-
bankment to avoid the possibility of
injury occurring should the vehicle
be struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be per-
formed according to the following
instructions.

SPARE WHEEL (Not all models)
The spare wheel is stored under the
luggage compartment floor and is ac-
cessed from within the luggage com-
partment by lifting the carpet and the
floor panel.
To remove the spare wheel, unscrew
the retainer, rotating this in an anti
clockwise direction and lift out the
wheel. To replace the wheel, screw
the retainer by hand until tight having
located the wheel in the luggage com-
partment floor well. The inflation pres-
sure of the spare wheel should be
checked at least monthly and when-
ever the wheel is fitted to the vehicle.
Inflation Pressure
Tyre Size
Spare Tyre Pressure
Full Size
210 kPa (30 psi)
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tyre.
o Do not use more than one tempo- rary spare tyre at a time.
!
5. The temporary spare tyre should
not be used on any other wheels,
nor should standard tyre, snow tyre,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the temporary spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month
while the tyre is stored.

Wheel Cap (Not all models)
1. Wrap a piece of cloth around the tip
of the screwdriver to avoid scratch-
ing.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the groove of the wheel cap and pry gently to
remove the wheel cap.
3. Change the flat tyre. 4. Reinstall the wheel cap by fitting the
boss of the wheel cap in the groove
of the wheel, hitting the centre of the
wheel cap with hand.

CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
It is of the utmost importance that care
is exercised when changing road
wheels. Ensure that the parking brake
is set and that the gear shift lever is in
reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatic
transaxle).
