SC200B3-E TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attachmentis used to ensure that the loads placed upon the body structure are correctly distributed. The use of a non approvedattachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai towing attachments are designed and con-structed to ensure maximum towing performance and ease of fitment. A range of accessories including electri-cal kits are available through the Hyundai authorised repairer network. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are sub- jected to greater stress during towing are maintained in accordance with therecommendations given at the end of this book. In addition, the daily operat- ing checks relating to engine oil, trans-mission oil and tyres must be per- formed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety.The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilst the use of such equip-ment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compensatefor a badly loaded and therefore un-stable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be main-tained in accordance with the recom- mendations of the manufacturer. Spe- cial attention should be paid to tyreswhich deteriorate through time and ex- posure rather than as a result of the distances towed. The inside walls ofthe tyres should be inspected along with the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torquemust be checked on a regular basis, preferably before each towing session. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mechanism must be maintained in good working order. The trailer break away cable or chain should be inspected fordamage and should be attached to the vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to thevehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms ofacceleration, braking and handling due
to the increased loads placed upon thevehicle. The driver should anticipatethe change in characteristics and ad- just the driving style in keeping with these changes. Care should be exer-cised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncontrol- lable by reducing cornering speeds andallowing increased braking distances. The driver should exercise care to en- sure that when pulling away from restparticularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to excessive slip- page which will reduce the useful life ofthis component. Use of the "Overdrive Off" "2" and "L" positions when driving vehicles with automatic transmissionwill assist with braking performance when long down hill gradients are en- countered. Improved acceleration per-formance will be available by selecting "Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that thetransmission unit makes an undesir- able upshift whilst hill climbing or over- taking. The transmission unit should beoperated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normal circumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise andengine wear.

SD070I1-E 7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
Fit the wheel nuts onto the studs and tighten with the wheel brace. Lower the car to the ground turning the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise. When the vehicle is firmly on the ground,remove the jack and tighten the wheel nuts securely. At the first available opportunity, the wheel nut torque shouldbe checked with a suitable torque wrench. Wheel nut tightening torque Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel: 90-110 Nm (65-80 lb.ft)

o Suspension Mounting Bolts Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to thespecified torque.6ZF070J1-A
o Brake Pads, Calipers and Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage.
6ZF070K1-A
o Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
silencer and hangers for cracks, dete- rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections orreplace parts as necessary. 6ZF070M1-A
o Steering Gear Box, Linkage &
Boots/Lower arm Ball Joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in the steering wheel.

Petrol engine The engine oil and filter must be changed at the time or mileage inter-val specified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the vehicle is operated under severe or adverse conditions, the oiland filter must be replaced more fre- quently. To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operating temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securely applied andthe engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and re-move the drain plug from the sump.
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-gine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding. 4. When the oil has drained from the
sump, replace the drain plug usinga new gasket ensuring that the plug is not over tightened.
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counterclockwise, using a propri-etary oil filter removal tool if neces- sary. Note that the oil filter willcontain approximately 0.5 litres of oil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared
the sealing ring with clean oil androtating clockwise until the filter contacts the mounting and then a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten Tightening torque: 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Remove the engine oil level dip- stick.
8. Pour the specified quantity of the
recommended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure that no oil leaksexist. Turn off the engine and after a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.

4. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
5. Slide underneath the car and loosen
the oil pan drain plug by turning it counterclockwise oil pan with a wrench of the proper size. Be surethat a drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining theengine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
6. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new gasket and retighten by turning it clockwise. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque : 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
7. Pull out the oil filter upper cap with element from the oil filter housing.Using a clean cloth, remove any dirtor oil accumulated around the oilfilter housing. 8. After mounting a new centrepipe O-
ring, new oil filter element and newO-ring to upper cap, install the up- per cap to oil filter housing and retighten by turning it clockwise. Donot over-tighten. Tightening torque : 2.5 kgf.m
CAUTION:
Do not use old oil filter upper cap O- ring and centrepipe O-ring.
!
9. Refill the crankcase with the recom- mended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chapter 9 for engine oil capacity.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oilinto a funnel. Do not overfill to preverd engine to camage.
! 10. Start the engine and check to be
sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
11. Shut off the engine and recheck
the oil level.
NOTE:
o It is recommended that the en- gine oil and filter should be changed by an Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally accept-able manner. It is suggested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station formaybe reclaimation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it into the household trash.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periodsof time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
