connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn
signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and
electrical 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 tire
pressure can seriously affect the handling.

After Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is
lower than recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct.
Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced,
air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap,
buy another and install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. This will help assure that your car is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen-
erally aware of state and local laws governing
towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to
your car, it is suggested that you show this
information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that
a safety chain system is used and that all state
and local laws are observed.

o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake is
released.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels
on the ground, be sure that the transaxle is in
neutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key is in
the "ACC" position. This is necessary to
prevent damage to the steering lock mecha-
nism, which is not designed to hold the front
wheels straight while the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
