2- 18 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C190C01Y-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it
is properly installed and operating cor-rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load.See "Maintenance Under SevereUsage Conditions" on page 5-6.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brakesystem.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay
close attention to the engine cool- ant temperature gauge to ensure
the engine does not overheat. Ifthe needle of the coolant tem-
perature gauge moves across thedial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to
C190B01S-AATTrailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that it's location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.Use a quality non-equalizing hitch whichdistributes the tongue load uniformlythroughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualifiedtechnician. DO NOT USE A HITCHDESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY IN-STALLATION AND NEVER USE ONETHAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation and always keep them clean.When driving during the day in condi-tions of poor visibility, it is helpful todrive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see. C190A01A-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehiclesto determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov-ince the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundaidealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
Do not do any towing with your carduring its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles)in order to allow the engine to prop-erly break in. Failure to heed thiscaution may result in serious en- gine or transaxle damage.

5- 2 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
F010C01A-GAT Specified Scheduled Procedures These are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replace-ments that are listed in the mainte- nance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performedat the intervals shown in the mainte-nance schedule to assure that yourwarranty remains in effect. Althoughit is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians atyour Hyundai dealer, these proce-dures may be performed at any quali-fied service facility. F010D01A-GAT General Checks These are the regular checks you should perform when you drive yourHyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A listof these items will be found on page 6-5.
F010A01A-GAT MAINTENANCE INTERVALS Service Requirements To assure that you receive the great- est number of kilometers of satisfyingoperation from your Hyundai, certainmaintenance procedures must be performed. Although careful design and engineering have reduced theseto a minimum, those that are requiredare of the utmost importance.It is your responsibility to have thesemaintenance procedures performedto comply with the terms of the war-ranties covering your new Hyundai.The Service Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further in- formation about these warranties.
F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for yourHyundai can be divided into threemain areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any requiredrepairs or replacements. Other parts ofequivalent quality such as engine oil,engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on
which are not supplied by HyundaiMotor Company or its distributor maybe used without affecting your war-ranty coverage but you should al-ways be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport providesfurther information about your war-ranty coverage.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5- 3
F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and wantto take the time to do so, you caninspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it yourself, see Section 6. F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai
serviced, keep copies of the ser- vice records in your glove box. This will help ensure that you can docu- ment that the required procedureshave been performed to keep yourwarranties in effect. This is espe-cially important when service is notperformed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own main- tenance and repairs, you may findit helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this pub-lication may be purchased at yourHyundai dealer's parts department. F020A01Y-GAT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced orsuspected. Receipts for all emissioncontrol system services should be retained to demonstrate compliance with conditions of the emissions sys-tem warranty.For severe usage maintenance re-quirements, see page 5-6 of this sec-tion.

F060A01A-AAT EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the caris being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changesare required. F060B01A-AAT
o Drive Belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil and replace if necessary. Drive belts should be checked periodically forproper tension and adjusted as nec-essary. After installing a new filter, run theengine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuelfilters should be installed by trainedtechnicians. F060D01A-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Have a trained technician replace anydamaged or leaking parts immedi-ately. F060E01A-AAT
o Timing Belt Inspect all parts related to the timing belt for damage and deformation.Replace any damaged parts immedi-ately. F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those inter-vals specified in the maintenanceschedule. Make sure that a new va-por hose or fuel filler cap is correctlyreplaced. F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventila-
tion Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, crack-ing, tears, cuts, abrasions, and ex- cessive swelling indicate deteriora- tion. Particular attention should bepaid to examine those hose surfacesnearest to high heat sources, such asthe exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in contactwith any heat source, sharp edges ormoving component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such asclamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks arepresent. Hoses should be replacedimmediately if there is any evidence of deterioration or damage.
F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and causehard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in thefuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently.
