NOTE:
o The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR) shown on the vehicleidentification plate (see page 8- 2). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of thevehicle, driver, all passengersand their luggage, cargo, towbarhitch, trailer nose weight andother optional equipment. o The front or rear axle weight must
not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) shown on the ve- hicle identification plate (seepage 8-2). it is possible that yourtowing package does not exceedthe GVWR but exceeds theGAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the trunk can overload the rear axle.Redistribute the load and checkthe axle weight again.
o The maximum permissible static vertical load on the coupling de- vice : 44kg
o The maximum permissible over-
hang of the coupling point : 690 mm. YC200E3-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar hitch
and safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailerrunning lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Less than 60 mph(max.))
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi- ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear(manual transaxle) or overdrive (au-tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tyres on the trailer andyour car. Low tyre pressure canseriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting.

2- 20 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed andsteer straight ahead. If there is toomuch 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 normal precautions. Turn yourfront wheel into the curb, set theparking brake firmly, and put the transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition,place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov- ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection atthe same time.
10. During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights andany trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration 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 tooverheat, resulting in reduced brak-ing efficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into
a lower gear and use the enginebraking effect.When ascending a long grade,
downshift the transaxle to a lowergear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/ or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going
uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the park- ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION:
If overheating should occur whentowing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
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 neu- tral and idle the engine at a higherspeed.

3- 2 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
HTB165
SD020B1-E
IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE
CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual
transaxle, ensure that the clutch
pedal is depressed whilst cranking
the engine. If the vehicle is fitted
with automatic transaxle, ensure
that the transaxle selector is at the
"P" or"N" position.
2. Check the battery terminals and
connections to ensure that these
are clean and also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim
when the engine is cranked and the
battery terminals have been
checked, a discharged battery is
indicated. SD020C1-F
If Engine Turns Over Normally
but Does Not Start
SD020A1-E
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
Seek assistance from the nearest
Hyundai dealer with regard to the
method of ignition and fuel system
diagnosis.
!
HTB221
CAUTION:
If the engine refuses to start, no
attempt should be made to push or
tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with
automatic transaxle or fuel injec-
tion will not be able to be started in
this manner since no drive is trans-
mitted through the automatic
transaxle whilst the engine is not
running, and in the case of fuel
injected derivatives, the fuel pump
will not operate under tow start
conditions. In addition, if the ve-
hicle is equipped with an exhaust
catalyst, damage to the catalyst may
result if the vehicle is tow started. 4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"
for information regarding engine
starting when the battery is dis-
charged.
1. Check fuel Level
2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs.
Replace any that may be discon-
nected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai dealer or seek other quali-
fied assistance.

DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
The following items should be checked
on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle
is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all light-
ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the
daily operating checks indicate that
any item of equipment related to the
safety or roadworthiness of the vehicle
is not functioning correctly. G030B02A-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol engine
A multi grade oil having a specification
which meets A.P.I. specification of SG
or above is recommended. The oil vis-
cosity should be selected according to
the operating environment of the engine
by means of the table shown in the
illustration. The engine oil recommen-
dations are complete in themselves
and the use of additives is neither
required nor recommended. The use of
engine oil additives may result in invali-
dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT
ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high
or low oil level may result in irreparable
damage being sustained by the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
on a daily basis, whenever the vehicle
is refuelled or before starting a long trip,
whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oil
is used to avoid the possibility of seri-
ous engine damage and premature wear.
The use of "budget price" oil is a false
economy that must be avoided if the
maximum reliability and useful life is to
be obtained from the vehicle.

(1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )
This operation should only be performed
when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the centre cover from the engine rocker cover.
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking plug to be replaced, pulling the lead
by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead
may damage the carbon conductor).
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be removed, and install the plug
socket ensuring that the ceramic
insulator does not become damaged.
Turn the socket counterclockwise to
remove the plug. CAUTION:
Sparking plugs must only be cleaned
using purpose designed equipment.
Wire brushing may damage the cen-
tre electrodein-sulator causing mis-
firing to occur. Only the correct grade
of sparking plug should be used.
Use of an incorrect grade may result
in serious engine damage.
Prior to installing a sparking plug, the
gap between the centre and outer elec-
trodes must be checked and adjusted
as necessary.
Adjustment is facilitated by bending the
outer electrode towards or away from
the centre electrode. Under no circum-
stances should attempts be made to
adjust the position of the centre elec-
trode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cyl- inder head and screw by the wrench
and until the plug contacts the seat-
ing area. Tighten the plug with the
socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn
only. 5. Replace the plug lead ensuring that
the cap is pushed firmly into place.
Confirm that the cap is correctly
seated by lightly pulling upon it.
NOTE:
When replacing the spark plug, al-
ways use the genuine parts recom-
mended.

!
CAUTION:
The automatic transaxle unit is a
precision engineered assembly and
correct operation is dependant upon
the exclusion of dirt and lint from the
unit. Therefore, it is imperative that
only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used
for wiping the dipstick and that the
area around the dipstick is thor-
oughly clean prior to level checking
or adding fluid.
Fluid Capacity
Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the transaxle
unit is 6.1 litres. SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations
Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specifications or higher may be
used in the braking system. Care should
be taken to observe the instructions
and precautions printed upon the con-
tainer.
!
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking sys-
tem is essential to the safe operation
of the vehicle and therefore, any main-
tenance operations other than those
listed below should be entrusted to a
Hyundai dealer.
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir should be checked periodically.
The level should be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" marks on the side of the
reservoir. If the level is at or below the
"MIN" mark, fluid should be added. It
should be borne in mind that the brake
fluid level will decrease slightly as the
friction linings of the pads and shoes
become worn and that this is a normal
condition.
