ment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer
to "Towing" in chapter 6.
Dynamometer testing
A full-time 4WD vehicle must be test-
ed on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.A full-time 4WD vehicle should not
be tested on a 2WD roll tester. If a
2WD roll tester must be used, per-
form the following procedure:
1. Check the tyre pressures recom-mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tem- porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.

Cruise Control operation
1. Cruise ( ) indicator
2. SET indicator
The Cruise Control system allows you
to drive at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h) without depressing the
accelerator pedal.During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transmission vehicle, do
not shift into neutral without
depressing the clutch pedal, since
the engine will be overrevved. If
this happens, depress the clutch
pedal or press the cruise control
ON / OFF button.
NOTICE
CRUISE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions:
•Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit in your
country.
•If the Cruise Control is left on,
(Cruise ( ) indicator light in
the instrument cluster is illu-
minated) the Cruise Control
can be activated unintention-
ally. Keep the Cruise Control
system off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
•Use the Cruise Control system
only when travelling on open
highways in good weather.
•Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may be unsafe to keep
the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic
or when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, orsnow-covered roads
- When driving on hilly or windy roads
- When driving in windy areas
• Do not use cruise control
when towing a trailer.WARNING

Information
The ESC system (if equipped) must be
turned OFF before rocking the vehi-
cle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tyre damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other drivers' head-
lamps.
• Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if equipped)
• Replace your windscreen wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windscreen.
• Be sure your tyres have enough tread. If your tyres do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tyre Tread" in chapter 7 .
• Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.

Driving your vehicle
If you are considering to tow with
your vehicle, you should first your
country's legal requirements. As laws
vary the requirements for towing trail-
ers, cars, or other types of vehicles
or apparatus may differ. Ask a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for fur-
ther details before towing.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires
correct equipment, and it has to be
used properly. Damage to your vehi-
cle caused by improper trailer towing
is not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer’s warranty. This section contains many time-
tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.
TRAILER TOWING
Take the following precautions:
•If you don't use the correct
equipment and/or drive improp-
erly, you can lose control of the
vehicle when you are pulling a
trailer. For example, if the trailer
is too heavy, the braking per-
formance may be reduced. You
and your passengers could be
seriously or fatally injured. Pull
a trailer only if you have fol-
lowed all the steps in this sec-
tion.
•Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW
(Gross Combination Weight),
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight),
GAW (Gross Axle Weight) and
trailer tongue load are all with-
in the limits.
•When you tow a trailer, make
sure to turn off the ISG sys-
tem.
WARNING

Information
• The technically permissible maxi-mum load on the rear axle(s) may be
exceeded by not more than 15 %
and the technically permissible
maximum laden mass of the vehicle
may be exceeded by not more than
10% or 100 kg (220.4 lbs), whichev-
er value is lower. In this case, do not
exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) for vehi-
cle of category M1 or 49.7 mph (80
km/h) for vehicle of category N1.
• When a vehicle of category M1 is towing a trailer, the additional load
imposed at the trailer coupling
device may cause the tyre maximum
load ratings to be exceeded, but not
by more than 15%. In this case, do
not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) and
increase the tyre inflation pressure
by at least 0.2 bar.
If you decide to pull a trailer?
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control. Youcan ask a trailer towbar dealer
about sway control.
• Do not do any towing with your vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in
serious engine or transmission
damage.
• When towing a trailer, be sure to consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for further information on
additional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (less than 60 mph
(100 km/h)) or posted towing
speed limit. • On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
• Carefully observe the weight and load limits provided in the following
pages.

Driving your vehicle
Trailer weight
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more
than the maximum trailer weight with
trailer brakes. But even that can be
too heavy. It depends on how you plan
to use your trailer. For example,
speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how often your vehi-
cle is used to pull a trailer are all
important. The ideal trailer weight can
also depend on any special equip-
ment that you have on your vehicle.
Tongue load
The tongue load is an important
weight to measure because it affects
the total Gross Vehicle Weight
(GVW) of your vehicle. The trailer
tongue should weigh a maximum of
10% of the total loaded trailer weight,
within the limits of the maximum trail-
er tongue load permissible.
After you've loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see if the weights are
proper. If they aren’t, you may be
able to correct them simply by mov-
ing some items around in the trailer.
Information
With increasing altitude the engine
performance decreases. From 1,000 m
above sea level and for every 1,000 m
thereafter 10% of vehicle/trailer
weight (trailer weighter + gross vehi-
cle weight) must be deducted.
i
Take the following precautions:
•Never load a trailer with more
weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be
loaded with approximately
60% of the total trailer load;
the rear should be loaded with
approximately 40% of the total
trailer load.
•Never exceed the maximum
weight limits of the trailer or
trailer towing equipment.
Improper loading can result in
damage to your vehicle and/or
personal injury. Check weights
and loading at a commercial
scale or highway patrol office
equipped with scales.

Trailer towing equipment
Towbars
Information
The mounting hole for towbars are
located on both sides of the underbody
behind the rear tyres.
It's important to have the correct tow-
bar equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are
a few reasons why you’ll need the
right towbar. Here are some rules to
follow:• Do you have to make any holes in
the body of your vehicle when you
install a trailer towbar? If you do,
then be sure to seal the holes later
when you remove the towbar. If you
don’t seal them, carbon monoxide
(CO) from your exhaust can get
into your vehicle, as well as dirt
and water.
• The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for towbars. Do not
attach rental towbars or other
bumper-type towbars to them. Use
only a frame-mounted towbar that
does not attach to the bumper.
• A HYUNDAI trailer towbar accessory is available at a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Instructions about safety chains may
be provided by the towbar manufac-
turer or trailer manufacturer. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always
leave just enough slack so you can
turn with your trailer. And, never
allow safety chains to drag on the
ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a brak-
ing system, make sure it conforms to
your country’s regulations and that it
is properly installed and operating
correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trail-
er brakes loaded, then it needs its
own brakes and they must be ade-
quate. Be sure to read and follow the
instructions for the trailer brakes so
you’ll be able to install, adjust and
maintain them properly. Be sure not
to modify your vehicle's brake sys-
tem.
i
OOS067031L
Do not use a trailer with its own
brakes unless you are absolute-
ly certain that you have proper-
ly set up the brake system. This
is not a task for amateurs. Use
an experienced, competent trail-
er shop for this work.
