9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you check yourelectrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakesto overheat, resulting in reduced braking effi-ciency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift thetransmission to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine overload-ing and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransmission to overheat. Use the parkingbrake or footbrake. NOTE:When towing check transaxle fluid more fre-quently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,(temperature gauge reads near red zone),taking the following action may reduce oreliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear
selector in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.

NANCE REQUIRE- MENTS NOTE: The inspection and testing of certain elec-tronic fuel injection/engine management andautomatic transmission control systems re-quire specialised electronic equipment spe-cifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. Theuse of general purpose electrical test equip-ment may result in damage to the control unitmicroprocessors. SF020C1-E Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5- 2. The operations specified must be performedat the time or mileage intervals shown irrespec-tive of whether the mileage interval has beenreached before the specified time interval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended that themaintenance operations are performed by thefactory-trained or distributor-trained techniciansat your Hyundai dealer because of the need forspecialized knowledge and tooling and to en-sure that no possibility of invalidating the man-ufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to vehicles
operated under normal conditions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditionswill require more frequent maintenance which isdescribed at page 5-4. SF030B1-E SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenance services are recorded in the warranty and ser-vice passport to ensure that proof of mainte-nance is available when warranty service isrequired.
