CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) payclose attention to the engine cool-ant temperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant tem-perature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe todo so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine hascooled sufficiently.
! YC200D2-E Safety Cables Should the hitch connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle youare towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave theroadway. To eliminate this potentially dangerous situation, safety cables, at- tached between your car and the traileror towed vehicle, are required.
Nose weight Total trailer weight
C190E01GK-EAT Trailer Weight Limit Nose weights can be increased or decreased by re-distributing the load in the trailer.This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loaded trailer and then checking the nose weight. NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more
weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailerload should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.

7. Swithc "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov- ing the jumper cables have been removed, switch "OFF" the main beam geadlamps. SD040A2-E If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out fromunder the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and check to be sure the 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 be satisfac-tory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touch- ing.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the ve- hicle providing the jump start is run- ning prior to connection of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+) terminal of the boosterbattery and the other end to thepositive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative (-) terminal of thebooster battery, and the other end to a ground point within the enginecompartment of the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flatbattery since sparks may be gener- ated with the subsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start theengine of the vehicle with the flatbattery. CAUTION:
If the jump cable is incorrectly in-stalled, damage to the vehicle elec-trical system may occur, in particu- lar the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system com- puter and the Automatic Transaxle computer. The battery must neverbe disconnected whilst the engine is running.

!
!WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov- ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected fromthe radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
!
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reser-voir (page 6-11) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill thecoolant expansion tank to the half- way mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is es- tablished that the engine is operat-ing normally. If the engine over- heats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling systemand this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYRE The following instructions for the tem- porary 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 should be periodically checked and main-tained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporarily and should be returnedto the luggage compartment as soon as the original tyre can be repairedor replaced.

Engine Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be
observed through the side of the plas- tic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on aregular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer. SG050D1-E
To Change the engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the fin- ish may become damaged. If cool-ant spillage occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool.DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERA-TION WHILST THE ENGINE ISHOT SINCE BURNING OR SCALDING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant andposition this under the radiator drain tap. 4. When the engine coolant has
drained completely, close the drain tap ensuring that this is not over tightened. G050D03E
3. With the heater temperature con-
trol set to the "HOT" position, re-move the radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.

SPARK PLUGS
G060A01GK-EAT Your engine was originally equipped with platinum-tipped or iridium-tipped spark plugs (2.7L only).Platinum-tipped or iridium-tipped sparkplugs will last longer than conven-tional type spark plugs. Platinum- tipped spark plug can be identified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum- tipped/iridium-tipped spark plugs.
0.039 ~ 0.043 in. (1.0~1.1 mm)
!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new
engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this into the radiator.

0.039 ~ 0.043 in. (1.0~1.1 mm)
6. Start the engine with the radiator
cap still removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system.When the level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and re- plenish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent.

o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto
skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical assis-tance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milkfollowed by an ant-acid (raw egg ormilk of magnesia) must be drunk. Vomiting should not be induced and medical assistance must besought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well venti-lated areas from which naked lights or sources of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unautho-rized persons are keptaway from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the
positive (+) and negative (-) termi-nals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production isof the "Maintenance Free" type.
ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
!
YG210A1-E
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.As the coolant temperature de-creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condi- tion.
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should auto- matically come on if the engine cool-ant temperature is high.
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan (in front of the condenser) should come on auto- matically whenever the air conditioneris in operation.
POWER STEERING HOSES
YG220A1-E It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5. The power steering hoses should be replaced if there are severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff-ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hoses could cause premature failure. NOTE: The power steering pump may be noisy when the engine is firststarted in the extreme cold (-4°F). This noise is not abnormal and will stop as the engine warms up.If the power steering pump contin- ues to be noisy after the engine has warmed up, have it inspectedby your Authorized Hyundai Dealer.

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

SH010A1-E (Not all models) Depending upon the market for which the vehicle is destined, the emission control system will comprise one or more of the following emission controldevices.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order that the proper functioning of the emission control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintainedby an authorized Hyundai dealer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. EMISSION CONTROL SYS- TEMS
SH010B1-E
1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CON- TROL SYSTEM The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase byintroducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixes with blow-by gases and thenpasses through the PCV valve into the intake manifold from where it sub- sequently enters the combustionchamber and is burned.
SH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuelvapours from escaping into the atmo-sphere through the fuel tank ventila- tion system. SH010D1-E
3. EXHAUST EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emission while main- taining good vehicle performance. Whilst the engine is not running, fuel vapours generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in a char- coal canister. When the engine is started, the vapours stored in thecanister are drawn into the induction system through the purge control so- lenoid valve and are subsequentlyburned.The purge control solenoid valve iscontrolled by the ECU; when the en-gine coolant temperature is low or the engine is idling, the purge control valve is closed and fuel vapours re-main stored in the canister. Under normal running conditions when the engine is warm, the valve opens andthe vapours are drawn into the inlet tract and subsequently burned in the combustion chamber.
