4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not use fifth 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 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 slowdown 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 tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck 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.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-2 2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact order shown in the illustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable tothe positive (+) post or cable of the dis-charged battery. Then attach the other endof the same cable to the positive (+) post orcable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the nega-tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.Then attach the other end of that cable to asolid metal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000rpm.
5. Start your engine using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave thejumper cables connected and let the enginerun at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for sev-eral minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked byyour Hyundai dealer.
WARNING: The gas produced by the battery during the
jump start operation is highly explosive. If these instructions are not followed exactly,serious personal injury and damage to thevehicle may occur! If you are not sure howto follow this procedure, seek qualified as-sistance. Automobile batteries contain sul-furic acid. This is poisonous and highlycorrosive. When jump starting, wear protec-tive glasses and be careful not to get acid onyourself, your clothing or on the car.
o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush thearea with clear water for at least 15 minutes.Then promptly obtain medical attention. Ifyou must be transported to an emergencyfacility, continue to apply water to the affect-ed area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the jump start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or an open flamein the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do notattempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged bat- tery, follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching. D030A01A-AAT
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-ing, you experience a loss of power, or hearloud pinging or knocking, the engine is probablytoo hot. If this happens to you, you should:
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 transaxle), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If theair conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until theengine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for engine coolant leak-ing from the radiator, hoses or under the car.(If the air conditioning had been in use, it isnormal for cold water to be draining from itwhen you stop).

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3-3
WARNING: While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts toprevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the en- gine immediately and call the nearestHyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if engine coolanthas been lost, carefully remove the radiator
cap and add engine coolant to bring the fluidlevel in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.
CAUTION: Serious loss of engine coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by aHyundai dealer. D040A01A-GAT
