DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
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.
WARNING:
o The tongue load should never exceed;
Auto: 25kgManual : 28kg
o Maximun permissible mass of the cou- pling device (ATOS VAN only) : 20kg
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can seriously affect its steering and brak- ing performance causing a crash whichcould cause serious injury or death. kg.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-8 D080C02A-GAT
Towing a Car With Automatic Transaxle
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE
CAUTION: A car with an automatic transaxle should
never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This can cause seri-ous damage to the transaxle. If the car mustbe towed from the rear, a towing dolly mustbe used under the front wheels.
If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, be sure the parking brake is re-leased. D080D02X-GAT
Emergency Towing For emergency towing when no commercialtow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,chain or strap to the two hooks under the frontof your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehiclein this manner on any unpaved surface. Thiscould result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neu-tral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-ning). A driver must be in the towed car to steerit and operate the brakes. CAUTION: If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from thefront. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.Do not tow at speeds greater than 50 km/h(30 mph) and for more than 25 km (15 miles).Be sure the steering is unlocked by placingthe key in the "ACC" position. A driver mustbe in the towed vehicle to operate the steer-ing and brakes.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your keynumber. If you lock the keys inside your car andyou cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundaidealers can use special tools to open the doorfor you. Information about the key of immobilizer sys- tem (If installed) will be found on page 1-2.
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" rangeon the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot addfluid, a towing dolly must be used.

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL FREEPLAY
To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead andgently move the steering wheel back and forth.Use very light finger pressure and be sensitiveto changes in resistance that mark the limits ofthe freeplay. If the freeplay is greater thanspecified, have it inspected by your Hyundaidealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. G160A01A-GAT
CHECKING CLUTCH PEDAL FREEPLAY
SSA6160A
6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
With the engine off, press lightly on the clutch
pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedal freeplay. The freeplay shouldbe within the limits specified in the illustration. Ifit is not, have it inspected by your Hyundaidealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.
SSA6170A
3 ~ 8 mm (0.12 ~ 0.31 in.)
With the engine off, press down on the brake
pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down slowly on
the brake pedal until you feel a change inresistance. This is the brake pedal freeplay.
The freeplay should be within the limits speci-
fied in the illustration. If it is not, have it in-spected by your Hyundai dealer and adjustedor repaired if necessary.

WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and trac-tion. When replacing tires, never mix ra-dial and bias-ply tires on the same car. Ifyou replace radial tires with bias-ply tires,they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizes may cause unusualhandling characteristics that may cause
death, serious injury or property dam-age.
The original tires on your car have tread wearindicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). Thetire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of the
