Charging System Warn- ing Light
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing whilst thevehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, the engine could also overheat because thisbelt also drives the water pump.
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition is turned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on whilst theengine is running, there is a malfunction in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on whilst you are driving,stop, turn off the engine and check under the bonnet. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If itis, check the tension of the belt. And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai authorised repairer.

ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator performance and drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter.WINTER DRIVING
DC170A1-E The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating demands. Therefore, the following suggestions will assist in maintainingpeak performance and reliability dur- ing these periods:
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re- duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. After theengine has started, allow the engineto run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In very cold weather, however, give yourengine a slightly longer warm-up pe- riod.
o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the en- gine. Labouring is driving too slowlyin too high a gear resulting in the vehicle kangarooing. If this happens,shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shiftingat the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-EAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tyre wear will be held to a minimum.

WARNING:
o Improper loading of your car and trailer can seriously affect its steer- ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash which could cause injury or death.
o When a trailer is used, the opera-
tion speed is restricted to 62.1MPH(100km/h) or less.

61.7(28) C190G01HP-EAT Important Trailer Weight Infor- mation The Maximum Towable Weight of your Hyundai Terracan will be reduced ifthe vehicle is loaded. The Maximum Towable Weight for a fully loaded vehicle is calculated asfollows:
1. Find the Vehicle Identification Num-
ber (VIN) plate (see section 8).
2. Note the top 2 weights (in kg) of the
4 lines of weight information on the VIN plate.
3. Subtract the weight on line 1 from
line 2. This result (in kg) is themaximum towable weight of a fully loaded vehicle. For more information, contact yourlocal Hyundai authorised repairer. HPC200E1-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and
safety cable 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 60 MPH).
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 transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting.When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is toomuch wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
6 OWNER MAINTENANCE
28
If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burn- ing sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilation when working in an en- closed space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.Never touch these componentswith the engine running or theignition switched on.o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical as- sistance sought.
o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious amounts of water or milkfollowed by an antacid (raw egg ormilk of magnesia) must be drunk. Vomiting should not be induced and medical assistance must besought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well ventilated areas from which naked lights or sources of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unauthorised persons are kept awayfrom batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the
positive (+) and negative (-) termi-nals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production isof the "Maintenance Free" type.
!WARNING: Always read the following instructions carefully whenhandling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited. Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly cor- rosive SULPHURIC ACID.Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.If any electrolyte gets intoyour eyes, flush your eyeswith clean water for at least 15 minutes and get imme- diate medical attention. Ifpossible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth until medical atten-tion is received.
