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.

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundaidealer for assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This can allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if the engine cool-ant has been lost, carefully add coolant to thereservoir (page 6-8) to bring the fluid level inthe reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.
CAUTION:Serious loss of engine coolant indicates thereis a leak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. 2. The spare tire should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tire canbe repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 80 km/h (50 mph) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is specifically designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standardtires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim ringsbe used with the temporary spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage to theseitems or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a month while the tire is stored.
D040A01GK-GAT TEMPORARY SPARE TIREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure shouldbe periodically checked and maintained atthe specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Spare Tire Pressure CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one temporary spare tire at a time.

4. Reinstall the wheel cap by fitting the boss of
the wheel cap in the groove of the wheel, hitting the center of the wheel cap with yourhand. D060D02A-AAT 3. Loosen Wheel Nuts The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly be- fore raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn thewrench handle counterclockwise. When doingthis, be sure that the socket is seated completelyover the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximumleverage, position the wrench so the handle is tothe left as shown in the drawing. Then, whileholding the wrench near the end of the handle,push down on it with steady pressure. Do notremove the nuts at this time. Just loosen themabout one-half turn.

The base of the jack should be placed on firm, level ground. The jack should be positioned asshown in the drawing.
HGK186D060F02E-AAT 5. Raising the Car After inserting a bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the bar into the jack as shown in thedrawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the jack handleclockwise. As the jack begins to raise the ve-hicle, double check that it is properly positionedand will not slip. If the jack is on soft
ground or
sand, place a board, brick, flat stone or otherobject under the base of the jack to keep it fromsinking.Raise the car high enough so that the fullyinflated spare tire can be installed. To do this, youwill need more ground clearance than is requiredto remove the flat tire. WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is supportedby the jack! This is very dangerous as the jackcould fall and cause serious injury or death.No one should stay in the car while the jack isbeing used.
D060G02Y-AAT 6. Changing Wheels Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and layit flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel onthe hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the holeswith the studs and slide the wheel onto them. Ifthis is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get thetop hole in the wheel lined up with the top stud.Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until thewheel can be slid over the other studs.

6-18 4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new
fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuseclip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer.If you do not have a spare fuse, you may beable to borrow a fuse of the same or lowerrating from an accessory you can tempo-rarily get along without (the radio or cigarettelighter, for example). Always remember toreplace the borrowed fuse.

G200B02A-AAT
Replacing Accessory Fuse The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found low on the dashboardon the driver's side. Inside the box you will find alist showing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse couldbe the reason. If the fuse has burned out, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in thefuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out.

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre- venting damage to the entire wiring harness.(This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens,have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,repair the system and replace the fusible link.The fusible links are located in a relay box foreasy inspection.
CAUTION: When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amperage rating. Never use apiece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious damage andcreate a fire hazard.

o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires. I050A02GK-GAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed onthe front wheels. Be sure that the chains areinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions. Refer to the following information. I060A02GK-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
I040A01S-GAT
SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the driveside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)when your car is equipped with snow tires. Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and besure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un- der any circumstances. This may cause dan-gerous handling characteristics.
I060A01GK
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-ue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded. WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use tire chains less than 10mm (0.39 in.) for 16" and 17" tires.
o Avoid sudden stop and turns.
o Tighten firmly to avoid contact with the verticle body, if you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, removethe chains for damage protection. 15", 16" Tire
