Safety Cables
Should the towbar connection between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately leavethe roadway. To eliminate this potentially dan-gerous situation, safety cables, attached be-tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle,are required.
Nose weight Total trailer weightSSA2200B
C190E02HP-EAT
Trailer Weight Limit
Nose weights can be increased or decreased
by re-distributing the load in the trailer.
This can be verified by checking the total weight
of the loaded trailer and then checking the nose weights.
YC200C3-A
Trailer Brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or localregulations and that it is properly installed andoperating correctly.
NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will
require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-5.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system di- rectly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay close attention to theengine coolant temperature gauge to en-sure the engine does not overheat. If theneedle of the coolant temperature gaugemoves across the dial towards "H" (HOT),pull over and stop as soon as it is safe todo so, and allow the engine to idle until itcools down. You may proceed once theengine has cooled sufficiently.
HPC200A1-E
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
If you are considering towing with your car, youshould first check with your Local Laws todetermine their legal requirements. Since laws vary from county to county, the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or othertypes of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing. CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car duringits first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order toallow the engine to have properly run-in.Failure to heed this caution may result inserious engine or transmission damage. YC200B2-E
Trailer Towbars Select the correct towbar and ball combination,
making sure that its location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing towbar which dis-
tributes the nose weight uniformly throughoutthe chassis.
The towbar should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician.
o It is advisable to carry emergency equip-
ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope, blan-kets etc., if a journey is to be undertaken intoareas of severe road conditions.

CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not performed correctly. If any doubt exists as to how thisoperation should be performed, seek assis-tance from qualified personnel. WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective cloth- ing should be worn and care exercised toprevent the acid from coming into contactwith skin or clothing and the vehicle. Nakedlights should not be permitted in the vicinityof the battery. Care should be exercised toprevent sparks occurring during connec-tion. If acid accidentally comes into contactwith skin or eyes, the affected area shouldimmediately be flushed with copious CAUTION: If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, damage to the vehicle electrical system mayoccur, in particular the electronic compo-nents such as the Fuel Injection system
computer and the Automatic Transmissioncomputer. The battery must never be dis-connected whilst the engine is running.

amounts of water and medical assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed inanother vehicle, ensure that the two vehi-cles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equip- ment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle provid- ing the jump start is running prior to connec-tion of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and theother end to the positive (+) terminal of thedis-charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery, and theother end to a ground point within the enginecompartment of the vehicle with the flat bat-tery. Do not connect to the negative batteryterminal of the flat battery since sparks maybe generated with the subsequent risk ofexplosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of thevehicle with the flat battery.
7. Switch "ON" the main beam headlamps before carefully removing the jumper cablesin the reverse order of attachment. Oncethe jumper cables have been removed,switch "OFF" the main beam headlamps. HPD040A2-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transmission) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioningis on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnetstop the engine. Do not open the bonnetuntil the coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of coolant and no steam, leave theengine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioning had been in use, it is normalfor cold water to be draining from it).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 3-3
WARNING: Whilst the engine is running, keep hands
and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with engine
running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject tohigh pressure even after the engine stopped.The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks maycause serious injury, if it touch the body.People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har-ness within the engine room while engine isrunning, since the high currents in the Com-mon Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme- diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealerfor assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns or scalding. YD050A1-E
SPARE TYRE For Full Size
The following instructions for the FULL SIZE
spare tyre should be observed:
Check inflation pressure as soon as possible
after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure shouldbe periodically checked and maintained at thespecified pressure whilst the tyre is stored.

6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be
found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant hasbeen lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the base of the radiator fillopening. Fill the coolant expansion tank tothe halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is established that the engine is operating normally. If theengine overheats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.

ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil level mustbe checked on a daily basis, whenever thevehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip,whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used toavoid the possibility of serious engine damageand premature wear. The use of "budget price"oil is a false economy that must be avoided ifthe maximum reliability and useful life is to beobtained from the vehicle.
SG020B1-E
DAILY OPERATING CHECKS The following items should be checked on a
daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled,whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all lighting equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and opera- tion.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily
operating checks indicate that any item of equip-ment related to the safety or roadworthiness ofthe vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030B01HP-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine
A multi grade oil having a specification which
meets A.P.I. specification of SG, SG/CD, SH or SH/CD is recommended. The oil viscosity shouldbe selected according to the operating environ-ment of the engine by means of the table shownabove. The engine oil recommendations arecomplete in themselves and the use of addi-tives is neither required nor recommended. Theuse of engine oil additives may result in invali-dation of the vehicle warranty.
NOTE:The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not
recommended for sustained high speed use.

To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operat- ing temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securelyapplied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug fromthe sump.
CAUTION: The oil being drained from the engine will be
hot. Care should be exercised to prevent scalding.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug is not over tightened. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counter- clockwise, using a proprietary oil filter re- moval tool if necessary. Note that the oilfilter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suitablereceptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and rotating clock-wise until the filter contacts the mountingand then a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: Petrol Engine - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.mDiesel Engine - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recom- mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure thatno oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine andafter a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in serious skin disor-ders including dermatitis and cancer. Avoidcontact with skin as far as possible andalways wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of children. It isillegal to pollute drains, water courses andsoil. Use only authorized waste collectionfacilities including civic amenity sites andgarages for the disposal of used oil and oilfilters. If in doubt, contact the local authorityfor disposal instructions. SG050A1-E
ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressur-ized and coolant may be ejected from theradiator resulting in scalding. SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a cor- rosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy enginecomponents should be used in the coolingsystem. No further additives or inhibitors shouldbe used. The coolant specific gravity should bechecked as prescribed in the maintenanceschedule to ensure adequate frost and corro-sion protection. In addition, the engine coolantmust be replaced at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties deteriorate withtime. It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of anti freeze gives an in-crease in the level of frost protection, a solutionwhich is in excess of 65% anti freeze will resultin reduced frost protection and engine over-heating. Therefore the recommended concen-tration of 50% should not be exceeded forgeneral use.The use of methanol based anti freeze com-pounds may result in engine overheating andwill invalidate the vehicle warranty.

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-7
NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant con- centration of the recommended strength atall times. The use of the air conditioningsystem when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heatermatrix freezing and subsequently bursting.
SG050C1-E
Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is be-tween the "LOW" and "FULL" marks. If the levelfalls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundaidealer. HPG050D1-E
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. Ifcoolant spillage occurs, the affected areashould be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scalding mayresult.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under theradiator drain tap. NOTE: Petrol Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator,
unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And ifthe coolant overflows from the hole whileadding the coolant, screw the bolt and con-tinue to add the coolant.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.
