ZB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONSAll vehicle occupants should wear seat belts at
all times. The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in an accident be decreased if this elementary safety precaution is observed. Inaddition, we would like to make the followingrecommendations. ZB090C1-E ChildrenIt is recommended that children occupy the rear seat and wear their seat belts. If the child is inthe front seat, it should be securely restrainedby the seat belt. Under no circumstances shouldthe child be allowed to stand or kneel on theseat. ZB090D1-E Pregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women. The seat belt should be wornas low and snugly as possible across the hips,not across the abdomen. A qualified MedicalPractioner should be consulted for further infor-mation. ZB090E1-A Injured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is nec-essary, you should consult a physician for rec-ommendations. ZB090F1-A One Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of anaccident.
ZB090G1-B Do Not Lie DownFor maximum effectiveness, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an upright position. A seat belt cannotoperate properly if the person is lying down inthe rear seat or if the front seat is at or near thefully reclined position.
B160A01S-GAT CARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt systems should never be disassem-
bled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hard-
ware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors orother abuse.
ZB090I1-A Periodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be inspect-
ed periodically for wear or damage of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged shouldbe replaced as soon as possible.

When fastening the rear seat shoul-der belts or the centre lap belt, make surethey are inserted into the correct buckle toobtain maximum protection from the seatbelt system and assure proper operation. B230A02P-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (Not all models) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-den stop or sudden maneuver. According toaccident statistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seats than in the frontseat. Larger children should use one of the seatbelts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Followall the instructions provided by the manufac-turer when installing the child restraint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle. o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case ofa sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center ofthe vehicle may help provide a goodshoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion ofthe lap/shoulder belt or the center seatlap belt must always be positioned aslow as possible on the child's hips andas snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the use of an ap-proved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit thechild.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.

o Never use an infant carrier or child safety
seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not provide adequate security in an acci-dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle,as this could result in serious injury tothe child in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt. portion of the belt is tight around the childrestraint system and the shoulder portion of thebelt is positioned so that it cannot interfere withthe child's head or neck. After installation of thechild restraint system, try to move it in alldirections to be sure the child restraint systemis securely installed.
If you need to tighten the belt, pull more web-
bing toward the retractor. When you unbucklethe seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractorwill automatically revert back to its normal seatedpassenger emergency locking usage condition.
NOTE:
o Before installing the child restraint sys- tem, read the instructions supplied bythe child restraint system manufacturer.
o If the seat belt does not operate as de- scribed, have the system checked imme-diately by your authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING: Do not install any child restraint system in
the front passenger seat. Should an acci- dent occur and cause the passenger sideairbag to deploy, it could severely injure orkill an infant or child seated in an infant orchild seat. Therefore, only use a child re-straint system in the rear seat of your ve-hicle.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 10 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 the engine coolant temperature gauge to
ensure the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant temperaturegauge moves across the dial towards"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so, and allow the engine toidle until it cools down. You may proceed
once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
C190D01A-GAT
Safety Chains Should the hitch connection between your carand the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, thetrailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately col-lide with another vehicle. To eliminate this po-tentially dangerous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer ortowed vehicle, are required in most provinces.
o When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clearthe screen properly due to the formation ofice upon the blade edge. It will therefore benecessary to periodically remove such iceto restore their efficiency.
o If the power operated door mirrors become frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-age the mechanism.
o The formation of snow or ice build up inside the wheel arches may interfere with theroadwheels or steering mechanism. In suchinstances, unusual noises or an increase insteering effort may result. Therefore, ensurethat the wheelarches are checked periodi-cally and any accumulated snow or iceremoved.
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: Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 1,200 miles in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure to heedthis caution may result in serious engine ortransaxle damage.
C190B01S-AAT
Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use aquality non-equalizing hitch which distributesthe tongue load uniformly throughout the chas-sis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY
INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

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 legalrequirements.
Since laws vary from province to province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or othertypes of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing. C190C01X-GAT
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 tothe additional load. See Maintenance UnderSevere Usage Conditions" on page 5-4.

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
