DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
5. Always secure items in the trailer to pre-
vent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tyre.
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 straightahead. If there is too much wind buffetingslow down to get out of the other vehicle'sair turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, espe- cially on a hill, be sure to follow all thenormal precautions. Turn your front wheelinto the curb, set the parking brake firmly,and put the transaxle in 1st or Reverse(manual) or Park (automatic). In addition,place wheel chocks at each of the trailer'styres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at thesame time.
10.During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still work-ing. 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 brakes to overheat, resulting in re-duced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reducespeed to reduce chances of engine over-loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing onthe accelerator. This can cause the auto-matic transaxle to overheat. Use the park-ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently. 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 selection in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not per- formed correctly. If any doubt exists as tohow this operation should be performed,seek assistance from qualified personnel. WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exer-cised to prevent the acid from coming intocontact with skin or clothing and the ve-hicle. Naked lights should not be permittedin the vicinity of the battery. Care shouldbe exercised to prevent sparks occurringduring connection. If acid accidentallycomes into contact with skin or eyes, theaffected area should immediately be flushed ponents such as the Fuel Injection system
computer and the Automatic Transaxlecomputer. The battery must never be dis-connected whilst the engine is running. SD040A2-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If the temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing:
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), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air condition-ing is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnetstop the engine. Do not open the bonnetuntil the coolant has stopped running orthe steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be surethe engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not 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 that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioning had been in use, it isnormal for cold water to be draining fromit).
SD030A1-E JUMP STARTING
with copious amounts of water and medi- cal assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed inanother vehicle, ensure that the two vehi-cles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equip- ment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle pro- viding the jump start is running prior toconnection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery and theother end to the positive (+) terminal of thedischarged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the nega- tive (-) terminal of the booster battery, andthe other end to a ground point within theengine compartment of the vehicle withthe flat battery. Do not connect to thenegative battery terminal of the flat batterysince sparks may be generated with thesubsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of thevehicle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
CAUTION:If the jump cable is incorrectly installed,damage to the vehicle electrical systemmay occur, in particular the electronic com-

Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels shouldbe cleaned using a mild soap or neutral deter-gent. Abrasive compounds must not be usedsince in the event of these damaging the lac-quer coating, oxidization of the aluminium wheelwill occur, spoiling the appearance.The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate cleaningbetween the wheel "spokes".
ensure that accidental spillages are immediatelyflushed with water.Do not use abrasive cleaning materials whichmay damage the bumpers.Avoid subjecting the bumpers to high tempera-tures such as may be encountered in high bakepaint ovens.
SE040B1-E STAIN/SPOT REMOVALShould tree sap, dead insects or tar prove to be difficult to remove from the paint film, turpentineor a proprietary paint cutting compound may beused. Ensure that the area to be cleaned is notrubbed intensively to prevent breaking throughthe colour coat and exposing the under coat. SE040C1-E POLISHINGThe exterior paint work should be polished with a proprietary wax polish when water no longercollects in bead form on the paint work. Theinstructions of the product manufacturer shouldbe adhered to. SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCE The special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrants special attention to pre-serve the appearance of the bumpers. Avoidcontact with battery electrolyte or brake fluid and SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRS In the event of the body work sustaining damage, the following points should be noted prior torepairs being undertaken.If body panels are replaced or repaired, anticorrosion treatment must be applied to the repairarea.

ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil levelmay result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil levelmust be checked on a daily basis, wheneverthe vehicle is refuelled or before starting along trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used toavoid the possibility of serious engine damageand premature wear. The use of "budget price"oil is a false economy that must be avoided ifthe maximum reliability and useful life is to beobtained from the vehicle.

Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir
should be checked periodically. The levelshould be between the "MIN" and "MAX"marks on the side of the reservoir. If the levelis at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should beadded having carefully cleaned the area sur-rounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirtis not allowed to enter the system. It shouldbe borne in mind that the brake fluid level willdecrease slightly as the friction linings of thepads and shoes become worn and that this isa normal condition.

WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimesoperate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade.As the engine coolant temperature de-creases, the fan will automatically shutoff. This is a normal condition.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with en-
gine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump,rail, injectors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even after theengine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemak-ers should not move than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness within theengine room while engine is running,since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable mag-netic fields. Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the transmission unit
is 6.1 litres (1.6 DOHC)/6.7 litres(1.8 DOHC).
