View from below the vehicle YC200E1-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar hitch and safe-
ty cable connections as well as proper oper- ation 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, do not tow a trailer with the transaxle engagedin an overdrive gear.
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.

NOTE:
o The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) shown on the vehicleidentification plate (see page 8-1). Thetotal gross vehicle weight is the com-bined weight of the vehicle, driver, allpassengers and their luggage, cargo,hitch, trailer nose weight and other op-tional equipment.
o The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica-tion plate (see page 8-1). it is possiblethat your towing package does not ex-ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR.Improper trailer loading and/or too muchluggage in the boot can overload the rearaxle. Redistribute the load and check theaxle weight again. Maximum

SD060A1-E IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTUREIf a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum amount of braking required which will assist in main-taining the maximum amount of control. Thevehicle should be parked wherever possibleupon firm level ground to facilitate wheelchanging.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel to bechanged safely, assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on a SD070A1-E CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
7. Proceed with caution until it is established
that the engine is operating normally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this should bechecked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.
It is of the utmost importance that care is exer-cised when changing road wheels. Ensure thatthe parking brake is set and that the gear shiftlever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatictransaxle).
D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure shouldbe periodically checked and maintained atthe specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tyre canbe repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recommended. 4. As the temporary spare tyre is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standardtyre, snow tyre, wheel covers or trim rings beused with the temporary spare wheel. If suchuse is attempted, damage to these items orother car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month while the tyre is stored.
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your tempo- rary spare tyre.
o Do not use more than one temporary spare tyre at a time.

not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, placea board, brick, flat stone or other object under thebase of the jack to keep it from sinking.Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflatedspare tire can be installed. To do this, you will needmore ground clearance than is required to removethe flat
tyre.
WARNING:Do not get under the car when it is supportedby the jack! This is very dangerous as the jackcould fall and cause serious injury or death.No one should stay in the car while the jack isbeing used.

The nuts should be installed with their smalldiameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tyre tobe sure it is completely seated, then tighten thenuts as much as possible with your fingers again.
WARNING:Wheels and wheel cover may have sharpedges. Handle them carefully to avoid pos-sible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interfereswith the wheel from fitting solidly against thehub. If there is, remove it. If there is not goodcontact on the mounting surface between thewheel and hub, the wheel nuts could comeloose and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss ofa wheel may result in loss of control of thevehicle. This may cause serious injury ordeath.

To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longerneeded. WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use a tyre chains less than 10mm to 16", 17" tyre.
o Avoid sudden stop and turn.
o Tighten firmly not to hear contact sound, if it still sounds, remove the chains for dam-age protection. I060A01GK-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon the conditions of use.It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidlythan those fitted to the rear of the vehicle andtherefore tyre rotation will provide a means ofhelping to ensure an even wear rate across thetyre set. For vehicles fitted with radial ply tyres,rotation should be confined to front to rear tyrealternation. It is not recommended that radial plytyres be rotated from side to side. NOTE: Aluminium wheels which are not supplied asOriginal Equipment should not be mixed onthe same vehicle with the original steel wheels.
WARNING:When rotating the 215/45 R17 tyres, ensure tofollow the"ROTATION" direction marked onthe sidewall of tyres.When rotating the tyres of the left and right,separate the wheel from the tyre and then re-assemble them. However, it is acceptablethat the steel spare wheel be used in conjunc-tion with Original Equipment aluminiumwheels since the offset of both wheels iscompatible. Radial and cross ply tyres shouldnot be mixed on the same vehicle.
I050A01GK-EAT TYRE CHAINSTyre chains should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed inaccordance with the manufacturer's instructions.Refer to the following information.
