Charging System Warn-
ing Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunctionin the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

C190F01A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch andsafety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
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 tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can se- riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there istoo much wind buffeting, slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence. 8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer's tires.
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 the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any 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 couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency. 14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak- ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed toreduce chances of engine over- loading 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 automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the park- ing brake or foot brake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently.
3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
D030A01TG-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under
the car or steam is coming out fromthe hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and checkto 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 thedrive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for engine coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer. WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephands 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 broken or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
24
Keep batteries out of the reach of children becausebatteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acidto contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish. If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least15 minutes and get imme- diate medical attention. If possible, continue to ap-ply water with a sponge or cloth until medical atten- tion is received. If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area.If you feel a pain or a burn-ing sensation, get medi-cal attention immediately.Wear eye protection whencharging or working neara battery.Always provide ventilationwhen working in an en- closed space.

Checking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery postsor terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the batteryterminals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:Always read the followinginstructions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the bat-tery.Hydrogen, which is ahighly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode ifignited.o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as possible. While you are being drivento get medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated withwater.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol- lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged(either by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produceexplosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from occurring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
