1- 2 B030A01A-AAT KEYS
B030B01HP
B030B01A-AAT Record Your Key Number
B030A01HP
A code number is stamped on the number plate that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This key number plate should not be left with the keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The key number should also be recorded in a place where it can be found in an emergency. If you need additional keys, or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys if you can supply the key num- ber.
For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in your Hyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a spare key is recommended in case you acci- dentally lock one key inside the car.
B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding registra-
tion and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available. B020A01S-GAT BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAI During the First 2,000 Km (1,200 Miles) No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute to the economical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following recommen- dations during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles).
o Don't drive faster than 88 km/h (55 mph).
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpmand 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, de-
press the accelerator pedal fully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid
hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't
drive so slowly in too high a gear that the engine "bucks":shift to a lower gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes for a catalytic converter equipped engine.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.

2- 16 C190D01A-GAT Safety Chains Should the hitch connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately collide with another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially dan- gerous situation, safety chains, attached be- tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most provinces. C190E02HP-GAT Trailer Weight Limit
Tongue load Total trailer weightSSA2200B
Tongue loads 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 load on the tongue.
C190A01HP-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements. Since laws vary from province to province the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or 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 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en- gine or transmission damage. C190B01S-AAT Trailer HitchesSelect the proper hitch and ball combination, making sure that it’s location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib- utes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER. C190C02Y-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to federal and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating correctly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6. 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 the needle of the coolant temperature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 17
NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more weight in
the back than in the front. About 60% ofthe trailer load should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.
2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle iden- tification plate (see page 8-1). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passen- gers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer tongue load and other optional equip- ment.
3. The front or rear mission weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica- tion plate (see page 8-1). It is possible that your towing package does not exceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the cargo area can overload the rear mis- sion. Redistribute the load and check the mission weight again.
4. The maximum permissible static vertical load on the coupling device is : 5. The maximum permissible overhang of
the coupling point is 1,230 mm.

C190F01HP-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch 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 moderate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do not tow a trailer with transmission in fifth gear(manual transmission) or an overdrive gear (automatic transmission).
WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer
can seriously affect its steering and brak-ing performance causing a crash which could cause injury or death.
o When a trailer is used, the operation speed is restricted to 100km/h or less. Engine

5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all
tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to 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 the transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check 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 acceleration 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 overheat, resulting in reduced braking effi- ciency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the trans- mission to a lower gear 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 in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or
eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 2 YB020A1-E BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE
o Ensure that all windows, mirrors and lamps are clean.
o Check condition of all tyres.
o Ensure that no fluid leaks are evident.
o Ensure that the area around the vehicle is clear before driving off.
YB020B1-E AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE
o Ensure that all occupants fasten and cor- rectly adjust seat belts.
o Ensure that seat and headrestraint positions are adjusted for optimum safety, control and comfort.
o Adjust interior and exterior rear view mir- rors.
o Verify correct operation of lamps, horn and other electrical equipment.
o Ensure that warning lamps illuminate when ignition is turned on.
NOTE: Fluid levels such as engine oil, engine cool- ant, brake and windscreen washer fluidshould be checked daily or at each refuel-ling, whichever occurs sooner. B020A01FC-EAT RUNNING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAIThe longevity and performance of the vehicle are greatly affected by the care exercised dur-ing the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because ofmodern manufacturing techniques, rigid guide-lines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome unnecessary. However, certain pre-cautions should be observed in order to obtainthe best possible performance and useful lifefrom the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load (i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3000rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome run-in more quickly if the operation
speed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-ings when the engine speed is below 1500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction facingsof the brake pads and shoes to bed againstthe discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken dur- ing the running-in period. B880A01HP-EAT IMMOBILISER SYSTEM

LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (Not all models)
A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at adifferent speed from the wheel on the other sidewhen the vehicle is cornering. The differencebetween the limited-slip differential and a con-ventional differential is that if the wheel on oneside of the vehicle loses traction, a greateramount of torque is applied to the rear wheel onthe other side to improve traction.
SC140A1-E
EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and friction mate-rial life are greatly affected by the driving styleadopted. The following suggestions are madeto assist in achieving the best results from thebraking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle tominimize the possibility of brake fade occur-ring. o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer
brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may become wet andperformance reduced. Always check brakeefficiency after emerging from the water anddry the brakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slow-ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided by the brake servo is derived from the engine,coasting with the engine turned off or towingof the vehicle with the engine turned off willresult in greatly increased pedal pressuresbeing required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.
CAUTION:
o Whilst the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine orcause the tyres to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tyres touching the ground could cause thevehicle to go off the jack and to jumpforward.
o If one of the front or rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehiclecan sometimes be driven out by depress-ing the accelerator pedal further; how-ever, avoid running the engine continu-ously at high rpm because doing so coulddamage the 4WD system.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane charges or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high-way speeds.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and thedriver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travellanes.

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.

Important Trailer Weight Information
The Maximum Towable Weight of your Hyundai Terracan will be reduced if the vehicle is load. The Maximum Towable Weight for a fully load is vehicle is calculated as follows:
1. Find the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) plate (see section 8).
2. Note the top 2 weights (in kg) of the 4 lines of weight information on the VIN plate.
3. Subtract the weight on line 1 from line 2. This result (in kg) is the maximum towableweight of a fully loaded vehicle. For more information, contact your local Hyundai Dealer.
