C190A01A-GAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your Province Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal requirements.Since laws vary from province to prov- ince, the requirements for towing trail- ers, cars, other types of vehicles, orapparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing. TRAILER OR VEHICLE 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 prop- erly break in. Failure to heed this caution may result in serious en-gine or transaxle damage. C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combi- nation, making sure that it's location iscompatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch whichdistributes 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 HITCHDESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY IN- STALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THEBUMPER.
C190C03Y-GAT Trailer Brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to fed-eral and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor- rectly. NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent main-tenance due to the additional load. See "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-7.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brakesystem.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolanttemperature gauge to ensure the engine does not overheat. If the needle of the coolant temperature

F010A01A-GAT Service Requirements To assure that you receive the great- est number of kilometers of satisfyingoperation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be per- formed. Although careful design andengineering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost importance. It is your responsibility to have these maintenance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warran-ties covering your new Hyundai. The Service Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further informa-tion about these warranties. F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance F010C01A-GAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such asinspections, adjustments and replace-ments that are listed in the mainte- nance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performedat the intervals shown in the mainte- nance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although itis strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at yourHyundai dealer, these procedures may be performed at any qualified service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs or replacements. Other parts ofequivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so onwhich are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor may be used without affecting your war-ranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts.Your Service Passport provides fur- ther information about your warranty coverage. F010D01A-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks you
should perform when you drive yourHyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page 6- 5. F010E01A-AAT

A Few Tips
Whenever you have your Hyundai ser-
viced, keep copies of the service records in your glove box. This will help ensure that you can document that the required procedures have beenperformed to keep your warranties in effect. This is especially important when service is not performed by anauthorized Hyundai dealer. F020A02A-GAT Inspection should be performed any
time a malfunction is experienced or suspected. Receipts for all emission control system services should be re- tained to demonstrate compliance withconditions of the emissions system warranty.
For severe usage maintenance require-
ments, see page 5-7 of this section.
