C190B02S-DAT Trailer Towbar Select the proper towbar and ball com- bination, making sure that it's locationis compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. We recommend only genuine Hyundai towbars (thetowbars are made and tested in Austra- lia/NZ for local conditions). Use a quality non-equalising towbarwhich distributes the tongue load uni- formly throughout the chassis. Tongue loads can be increased or de- creased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checkingthe total weight of the loaded trailer and then checking the load on the tongue.
WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steering and braking performance causing a crash in which you may be seriouslyinjured.
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
C190A01A-DAT If you are considering towing with your vehicle, you should first check with your State Department of Motor Ve- hicles to determine their legal require-ments. Since laws vary from state to state, the requirements for towing trailers, cars,other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to prop-erly bed in. Failure to heed this cau- tion may result in serious engine or transaxle damage.
!
USE OF LIGHTS
C180A01A-AAT 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.

CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If theneedle of the coolant temperature gauge moves across the dial to- wards "H" (HOT), pull over andstop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceedonce the engine has cooled suffi- ciently.
! C190D02A-DAT Safety Chains Should the towbar connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle youare towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately collidewith another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially dangerous situation, safety chains, attached be-tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most states.
C190C02S-DAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Us- age Conditions" on page 5-6.

3. The front or rear axle weight mustnot exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). It is possible that your towing package does not exceed the GVWR but exceedsthe GAWR. Improper trailer load- ing and/or too much luggage in the luggage compartment canoverload the rear axle. Redistrib- ute the load and check the axle weight again.
4. The maximum permissible static vertical load on the coupling de-vice is ; 150kg
2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passen-gers and their luggage, cargo, towbar, trailer tongue load and other optional equipment.

1. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining40% in the rear. C190E01L

C190F01A-DAT Trailer and Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and
safety chain 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 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manualtransaxle) or overdrive (automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure
of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously af- fect the handling. Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind and buf-feting. When being passed by alarge vehicle, 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 follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer'styres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, drive
your vehicle with the trailer attached,and then apply the trailer brakes by hand. This test confirms the opera- tion of the trailer brakes and alsochecks your electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure,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 couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
The following specifications are rec-ommended when towing a trailer. The loaded trailer weight cannotsafely exceed the values in the fol- lowing chart.

CONSUMER INFORMATION
7SPARE TYRE AND TOOLS
I100A02CM-DAT Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tyre and wheel Wheel brace, Wrench bar Screwdriver Jack Towing hook (If installed)
When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with thetyre and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you neverthelessdecide to equip your vehicle with any tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tyres for highway driving.
o Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless of the remaining tread,it is recommended that tyres tread, It is recommended that tyres generally be replaced aftersix (6) years of normal service. Heat caused by not climates or frequent high loading conditionscan accelerate the aging process.Failure to follow this Warning canresult in sudden tire failure, which could lead to a loss of control and an accident involving seri-ous injury or death.
OCM054008
o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can affect wheel speed. When replac- ing tires, all 4 tires must use thesame size originally supplied with the vehicle. Using tires of a differ- ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) (if installed) to work irregularly.
