View from below the vehicle 13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
16. The maximum permissible overhang of the coupling point : 38.98 in.(990 mm).
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 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 selection in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
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 tirepressure 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, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. 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 applythe 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 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.

YC200E1-E 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 60mph).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor-
mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-2 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 be satisfac- tory, check for coolant leaking from the radia- tor, hoses or under the car. (If the air condi- tioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
WARNING: Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme- diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for 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 in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully remove the radiator cap and add water to bring the fluid level in the reser- voir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank to the halfway mark.
WARNING: Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exercised to prevent the acid from coming into contact with skin or clothing and the vehicle. Naked lights should not be permitted in the vicinity of the battery. Care should be exercised to prevent sparks occurring during connection. If acid acciden- tally comes into contact with skin or eyes, the affected area should immediately be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type.
If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment 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 the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative
(-) terminal of the booster battery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compartment of the vehicle with the flat bat- tery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flat battery since sparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explosion. 6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to
2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of the vehi- cle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
CAUTION: If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, dam- age to the vehicle electrical system may oc- cur, in particular the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system computer and the Automatic Transmission computer. The battery must never be disconnected whilst the engine is running. SD040A1-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf 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 transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the cool-ant has stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine run- ning and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5-1
SF020A1-E MAINTENANCE AND SERVICINGREQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance opera- tions are required at specific mileage or time intervals. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that the maintenance schedules shown in both this Owners Manual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to. The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated if the routine maintenance operations are not per- formed in line with the recommendations outlined and the safety and durability of the vehicle ad- versely affected. It is recommended that all maintenance opera- tions with the exception of the daily operating checks are entrusted to a Hyundai dealer to ensure that the latest repair and maintenance procedures and specialized servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai replacement parts will ensure that the vehicle safety and performance will not be compro- mised.

NANCE REQUIRE- MENTS NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec- tronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic transmission control systems re- quire specialised electronic equipment spe- cifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general purpose electrical test equip- ment may result in damage to the control unit microprocessors. SF020C1-E Specified Scheduled ProceduresThe Specified scheduled procedures are listed in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5- 2. The operations specified must be performed at the time or mileage intervals shown irrespec- tive of whether the mileage interval has been reached before the specified time interval. Certain lubricants and components degradewith both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil and brake fluid) and therefore it is not permissable to base the maintenance schedule upon mile- age alone. It is strongly recommended that the maintenance operations are performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer because of the need for specialized knowledge and tooling and to en- sure that no possibility of invalidating the man- ufacturers warranty exists. The maintenance schedules relate to vehiclesoperated under normal conditions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditionswill require more frequent maintenance which is described at page 5-4. SF030B1-E SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenance services are recorded in the warranty and ser- vice passport to ensure that proof of mainte- nance is available when warranty service is required.

SG080A2-E WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES
SG090A1-EWINDSCREEN WASHER RESERVOIR REPLENISHMENT
The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu- mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re- placement. CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass since rapid wear and damage to thewindscreen glass may result.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, petrol etc. The level of windscreen washer fluid availableshould be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of the reser- voir. When the fluid is to be replenished, only a proprietary screen wash additive should be used and in the concentration recommended by the manufacturer. The windscreen washer reservoir has a total capacity of 3 litres. CAUTION: Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used in the windscreen washer system since dam- age to the paintwork may result. Undiluted windscreen washer additive must not be allowed to come into contact with the paintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af- fected area immediately with water. Do not operate the windscreen washer for more than

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-11
Use only the approved transmission lubricant. The recommended lubricants are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recommended. The use of additives may invalidate the vehicle warranty. Transmission Lubricant Level Checking
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine cool. Remove the level plug from the transmission when lubricant should begin to drip from the level hole. If the level is low and no lubricant is seen to drip, add the required quantity of lubricant and replace the plug.
SG110A1-E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID The automatic transmission fluid level should be checked and changed at those intervals pre- scribed in the maintenance schedule. It is of paramount importance that only the specified fluid is used when replenishing or changing the fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably damage the transmission and invalidate the manufacturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may prevent correct functioning of the transmission and care must be exercised to prevent the ingress of such matter. CAUTION: The transmission fluid level must be checked with the engine running and at normal oper- ating temperature and therefore care must be exercised to prevent injury occurring through contact with rotating or hot parts of the en- gine. G110B03A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP-

Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty. G110D02GK-EAT Transmission fluid level checking The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine at normal operating temperature. (Normal operat- ing temperature will only be achieved when the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles or more). With the engine idling and the footbrake applied, the transmission selector should be moved from the "P" position through to the "L" position and back to the "N" or "P" position. Open the bonnet and remove the transmission dipstick, remembering that care must be exer- cised to prevent injury occurring through contact with hot or rotating parts of the engine. Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptly remove it again. The fluid level should be be- tween the upper and lower marks. Fluid need only be added if the level is at or below the lower mark and must never be increased above the

6-12 SG120A1-E BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION: Correct operation of the braking system is essential to the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, any maintenance operations other than those listed below should be en- trusted to a Hyundai dealer. SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in the braking system. Care should be taken to ob- serve the instructions and precautions printed upon the container. SG120D1-E Brake Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having care- fully cleaned the area surrounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
higher mark. If additional fluid is required, thisshould be poured into the transmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automati- cally shut off. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION:The automatic transmission unit is a preci- sion engineered assembly and correct op- eration is dependant upon the exclusion of dirt and lint from the unit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping the dipstick and that the area around the dipstick is thoroughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid. Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transmission unit is 7.8 litres.

6-18 NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condition (below -20°C). In this case, if the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the specification of PSF-3 should be used in the power steering system.
SG230A1-E POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
