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 legal
requirements. Since laws vary from province to province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing.
CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Fail-ure to heed this caution may result in seri-ous engine or transaxle damage.

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 a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-
utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-
tion driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of thetires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.
NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.

USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation
and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in conditions of poor visibility, itis helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
rarily while you put the gear selector lever in"P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or reversegear (manual transaxle) and block the rearwheels so the car cannot roll. Then release theparking brake.

Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter condi-tions where this may happen, you should peri-odically check underneath the car to be surethe movement of the front wheels and thesteering components are not obstructed.

you drive your car, you should carry appropri-ate emergency equipment. Some of the itemsyou may want to carry include tire chains, towstraps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a windowscraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blan-ket, etc.

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).
