also increases the wear of the brake compo- nents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the car pointedstraight ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it to be safeto do so, pull off the road and stop in a safeplace.
o If your car is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your car creep forward. Toavoid creeping forward, keep your foot on thebrake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selectorlever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or
reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car isfacing downhill, turn the front wheels into thecurb to help keep the car from rolling. If yourcar is facing uphill, turn the front wheels awayfrom the curb to help keep the car from rolling.If there is no curb or if it is required by otherconditions to keep the car from rolling, blockthe wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This ismost likely to happen when there is an accu-mulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there isa risk that the parking brake may freeze,apply it only temporarily while you put thegear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in firstor reverse gear (manual transaxle) and blockthe rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Thenrelease the parking brake. o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.
C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If Installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden brakingor on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed and controlsthe pressure applied to each brake. Thus, inemergency situations or on slick roads, ABS willincrease vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation maybe felt in the brake pedal when the brakes areapplied. Also, a noise may be heard in theengine compartment while braking. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that theanti-lock brake system is functioning proper-ly. WARNING:Your ABS will not prevent accidents due toimproper or dangerous driving maneuvers.Even though vehicle control is improved dur-ing emergency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and objects ahead.Vehicle speeds should always be reducedduring extreme road conditions.The braking distance for cars equipped withan anti-lock braking system may be longerthan for those without it in the following roadconditions.During these conditions the vehicle shouldbe driven at reduced speeds.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o Driving on with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS equipped ve-hicle should not be tested by high speeddriving or cornering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.

C190F01A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chainconnections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 100 km/H).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth 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, keepa constant speed and steer straight ahead. Ifthere is too much wind buffeting, slow down toget out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission 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 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.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5-1
SF020A1-E MAINTENANCE AND SERVICINGREQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety ofthe vehicle, certain routine maintenance opera-tions are required at specific mileage or timeintervals.It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner toensure that the maintenance schedules shownin both this Owners Manual and the Warrantyand Service Passport are adhered to.The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated ifthe routine maintenance operations are not per-formed in line with the recommendations outlinedand the safety and durability of the vehicle ad-versely affected.It is recommended that all maintenance opera-tions with the exception of the daily operatingchecks are entrusted to a Hyundai dealer toensure that the latest repair and maintenanceprocedures and specialized servicing tools areemployed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundaireplacement parts will ensure that the vehiclesafety and performance will not be compro-mised.
SF000A1-E
5. VEHICLE MAINTE-
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.
