DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 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 automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the parking brakeor footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone),taking the following action may reduce oreliminate 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 selection in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.
being passed by a large vehicle, keep aconstant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow
down to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets you
check your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights 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 brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransaxle to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine overloading
and or overheating.
WARNING:
o The tongue load should never exceed;
Auto Transaxle : 55.1 lb Manual Transaxle 9: 61.7 lb
o Maximun permissible mass of the cou- pling device (ATOS VAN only) : 44 lb
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steering and brak- ing performance causing a crash in which
you may be seriously injured or killed.

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, andturn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 62 MPH).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor- mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) 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 tires on the trailer and your car. Low tyrepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When

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 fill
opening. 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 aleak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. 3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain
inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on amotorway, the passengers should take ref-uge on the motorway embankment to avoidthe possibility of injury occurring should thevehicle be struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed ac- cording to the following instructions.

TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains, if necessary, should be installed
on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed inaccordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-tions. To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not contin-
ue to use tyre chains when they are no longerneeded.
CAUTION: When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h). XI050A1-E TYRE ROTATION Tyre wear will vary for each wheel. In order to increase the life of each tyre and keep wearuniform, tyre rotation should be performed ev-ery 6,000 miles (10,000 km) as shown in figure. NOTE: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tyres under any circumstances. This may causedan-gerous handling characteristics.
ZI060A1-E
TYRE BALANCING A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling
and tyre wear. The tyres on your Hyundai werebalanced before the car was delivered but mayneed balancing again during the years you ownthe car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted forrepair, it should be rebalanced. Wear indicator
DI060B1-E
TYRE REPLACEMENT
Tyres must be replaced when the wear indica-
tors appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread.At this point, the remaining tread depth will beapproximately 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). In addition tothis, the tyre must be replaced if any portion ofthe tread has become bald or if there are anylumps, bulges or deep cuts in the sidewalls ortread. Replacement tyres must be of the recommend-
ed size and rating and should be of the samemanufacture and tread pattern on each axle.
ZI030A1-E SNOW TYRES If you equip your car with snow tyres, they should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tyres. Do not drivefaster than 60 mph when your car is equippedwith snow tyres.
