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
