WARNING
• Close the tonneau cover securely
before driving.
• Cargo should not be interfered
with tonneau cover latching and
completely closing.
• When the tonneau cover is fully
opened, make sure that the buckle
is secure by pulling on the storage
strap.
• Be careful not to get your hands
pinched between the tonneau
cover and the deck when opening
and closing the tonneau cover, or
between the panels when folding.
• Make sure that all latches are
securely locked by pulling it
upwards.
• Do not stand or sit on the tonneau
cover.
• Do not install the tonneau
cover backwards, or in any other
orientation than indicated.
WARNING
• Allowing passengers to ride in the
pickup bed or on the tailgate can
result in death or serious injury in
a crash. Make sure all passengers
ride in a seat and wear a seat belt
properly.
• Never let passengers ride in the
pickup bed, in the trunk space, or on
the bed rails. This could cause very
serious injuries or death. No one
should ride in any position on your
vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
• Exceeding load limits or improperly
loading cargo on the vehicle can
cause a crash in which you can be
seriously injured or killed.
• Load the cargo securely before
starting to drive.

Driving Your Vehicle
6-70
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer
to the left, move your hand to the left. To
move the trailer to the right, move your
hand to the right. Always back up slowly
and, if possible, have someone guide
you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so your
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs,
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid
jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to have a different turn signal flasher and
extra wiring. The green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you
signal a turn or lane change. Properly
connected, the trailer lights will also flash
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will flash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s
important to check occasionally to be
sure the trailer bulbs are still working.
You must also check the lights every time
you disconnect and then reconnect the
wires.
WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle’s lighting
system. Use an approved trailer wiring
harness. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the vehicle electrical
system and/or personal injury. Consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
Driving on hills
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you
might have to use your brakes so much
that they would get overheated and may
not operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70
km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine
and transmission overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes and you have a automatic
transmission, you should drive in D
(Drive) when towing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive)
when towing a trailer will minimize heat
build-up and extend the life of your
transmission.
