B230A03P-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, suddenstop or sudden maneuver. According to accidentstatistics, children are safer when properly re-strained in the rear seats than in the front seat.Larger children not in a child restraint should useone of the seat belts provided.You are required by law to use safety restraintsfor children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carand seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all theinstructions provided by the manufacturer wheninstalling the child restraint system.
WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in
the rear seat. Never install a child or infantseat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause the
passenger's side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seat ofyour vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys- tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case of asudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and berestrained with the available lap/shoulderbelts. Never allow children to ride in thefront passenger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center of thevehicle may help provide a good shoulderbelt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the center seat lap beltmust always be positioned as low as pos-sible on the child's hips and as snug aspossible. o If the seat belt will not properly fit the
child, Hyundai recommends the use of anapproved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating height sothat the seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
o Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it maynot provide adequate security in an acci-dent.
o Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they are in a moving vehicle, asthis could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accident or asudden stop. Holding a child in a movingvehicle does not provide the child withany means of protection during an acci-dent, even if the person holding the childis wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being seri-ously injured or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.

In case that othermanufacturers will furnish proof of a respec-tive certification, Hyundai is going to evalu-ate this seat carefully and will give a recom-mendation provided that seat complies to thelaw. Please ask your Hyundai dealer in thisrespect. On each side of the rear seat, between the cushion and backrest, are located a pair of ISOFIXanchorage points together with a top tether mount-ing on the luggage compartment. During theinstalling, the seat has to be engaged at theanchorage-points in a way you can hear it click-ing (check by pulling!) and has to be fixed with theTop Tether-belt on the belonging point in theluggage-compartment. The installing and the useof a child-seat has to be done according to theinstalling-manual, which is added to the ISOFIX-seat.

C190D01A-GAT Safety Chains Should the hitch connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately collide with another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially dan- gerous situation, safety chains, attached be- tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most provinces. C190E02HP-GAT Trailer Weight Limit
Tongue load Total trailer weightSSA2200B
Tongue loads 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 load on the tongue.
C190A01HP-GAT TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements. Since laws vary from province to province the requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing. CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car during its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en- gine or transmission damage. C190B01S-AAT Trailer HitchesSelect the proper hitch and ball combination, making sure that it’s location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib- utes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis. The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER. C190C02Y-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to federal and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating correctly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6. CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system di-
rectly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) pay close attention to theengine coolant temperature gauge to en- sure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant temperature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may proceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
