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.

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.

WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain
sulphuric acid and emit hydrogen
gas. Protective clothing should be
worn and care exercised to prevent
the acid from coming into contact
with skin or clothing and the ve-
hicle. Naked lights should not be
permitted in the vicinity of the bat-
tery. Care should be exercised to
prevent sparks occurring during
connection. If acid accidentally
comes into contact with skin or
eyes, the affected area should im-
mediately be flushed with copious
amounts of water and medical as-
sistance sought. 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 booster
battery and the other end to the
positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the booster
battery, and the other end to a ground
point within the engine compart-
ment of the vehicle with the flat
battery. Do not connect to the nega-
tive battery terminal of the flat bat-
tery since sparks may be generated
with the subsequent risk of explo-
sion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain
sulphuric acid which is corrosive
and poisonous. Hydrogen gas is
emitted from the battery which is
explosive when combined with oxy-
gen. The following precautions must
be strictly observed to avoid per-
sonal injury or damage to the ve-
hicle.
HTB165 SG220A1-E
ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-
gine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the
engine is not running. Use extreme
caution when working near the
blades of the cooling fan so that you
are not injured by a rotating fan
blade. As the engine coolant tem-
perature decreases, the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
The engine cooling fan should operate
before the temperature gauge reaches
the upper portion of the scale and the
condenser fan should operate when-
ever the air conditioning is in use.
