C190D02A-DAT Safety Chains Should the towbar connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across otherlanes of traffic and ultimately collide with another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially danger-ous situation, safety chains, attached between your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in moststates.
!
C190B02S-DAT Trailer Towbars Select the proper towbar and ball com- bination, making sure that its location iscompatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. We recommend only genuine Hyundai towbars (thetowbars are made and tested in Austra-
lia/NZ for local conditions). Use a qual- ity non-equalising towbar which distrib-utes the tongue load uniformly through- out the chassis. Tongue loads can be increased ordecreased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loadedtrailer and then checking the load on the tongue. WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer-ing and braking performance caus- ing a crash in which you may be seriously injured. C190C01S-DAT 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 5-6.
!
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake sys- tem directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 6%) pay closeattention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to ensure theengine does not overheat.

2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The total gross vehicle weight is the combined weight of the ve-hicle, driver, all passengers and their luggage, cargo, towbar, trail- er tongue load and other optionalequipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must
not exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). It is possible that your towing package does not exceed the GVWR but exceedsthe GAWR. Improper trailer load- ing and/or too much luggage in the boot can overload the rearaxle. Redistribute the load and check the axle weight again.

Tongue loads can be increased or de- creased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checkingthe total weight of the loaded trailer and then checking the load on the tongue. NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front halfon the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.Tongue load

8. When parking your car and trailer,especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the hand brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
drive your vehicle with the trailerattached, and then apply the trailer brakes by hand. This test confirms the operation of the trailer brakesand also checks your electrical con- nection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure,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.
!WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steeringand braking performance causing a crash in which you may be seriously injured or killed. kg.

1. Before towing, check towbar and
safety 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 tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tyre.
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.

o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tyre size canaffect wheel speed. When replac- ing tyres, all 4 tyres must use the same size originally supplied withthe vehicle. Using tyres of a differ- ent size can cause the ABS (Anti- lock Brake System) and ESP (Elec-tronic Stability Program) (If In- stalled) to work irregularly.
