TRIP A:
Distance you have traveled
from your origination point to a first destination.TRIP B: Distance from the first destina-
tion to the final destination. To shift from TRIP A to TRIP B, press the trip switch. When pressed for 1 second, it will reset to 0.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 19
C170A01A-AAT HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specification. Low tire inflation pres- sures will result in overheating andpossible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction ortire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and en- gine oil: High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolantand engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine. C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in condi- tions of poor visibility, it is helpful todrive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see. C190A02A-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehiclesto determine their legal requirements. Since laws vary from province to prov- ince, the requirements for towing trail-ers, cars, other types of vehicles, or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that it's location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distributes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualifiedtechnician. DO NOT USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY IN- STALLATION AND NEVER USE ONETHAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
!
CAUTION
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to prop-erly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en- gine or transaxle damage.

2- 22 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure canseriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a largevehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow downto get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to fol-low all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, setthe parking brake firmly, and put the transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). Inaddition, place wheel chocks at each 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 thebrakes are working. This lets you check 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 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 to over- heat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
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 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.
C190F02A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailerrunning 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 charging 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.
!WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steering and braking performance causing a crash in which could cause seriousinjury or death.
