C190E02TB-DAT Trailer Weight Limit
Tongue load Total trailer weight
C190E01L
Tongue loads can be increased or de- creased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the total weight of the loaded trailer andthen 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 half on the trailer and the remaining40% in the rear. 2. The total gross vehicle weight with
trailer must not exceed the GrossVehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)shown on the vehicle identifica- tion plate (see page 8-2). The total gross vehicle weight is the com-bined weight of the vehicle, driver, all passengers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer tongue loadand other optional equipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must
not exceed the Gross Axle WeightRating (GAWR) shown on the vehicle identification plate (see
page 8-2). It is possible that yourtowing package does not exceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loadingand/or too much luggage in the trunk can overload the rear axle. Redistribute the load and checkthe axle weight again.
4. The maximum permissible static
vertical load on the coupling de-vice is 50kgIf the needle of the coolant tem- perature gauge moves across the dial towards "H" (HOT), pull overand stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You mayproceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
C190D02A-DAT Safety Chains Should the tow bar connection be- tween your car and the trailer or ve-hicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ulti-mately collide with another vehicle. To eliminate this potentially danger- ous situation, safety chains, attachedbetween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most states.

C190F01A-DAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch 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 transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
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.

The following specifications are rec- ommended when towing a trailer. The loaded trailer weight cannotsafely exceed the values in the fol- lowing chart.
WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steeringand braking performance causing a crash in which could cause seri- ously injury or death.

14. When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak- ing effect. When ascending a longgrade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce 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 automatic transmission to overheat. Use thehand brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transaxle fluid more frequently. 1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going up-
hill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place
the gear selection in park or neutraland idle the engine at a higher speed.
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur whentowing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate theproblem.
!
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turnyour front wheel into the curb, set the hand brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse(manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, drive your vehicle with the trailerattached, and then apply the trailerbrakes by hand. This test confirms the operation of the trailer brakes and also checks your electrical con-nection 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 could cause the brakes to overheat, re-sulting in reduced braking efficiency. D120A02A-DAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS If you happen to lose your leys, your vehicle will require towing to your Hyundai dealer to have the new set ofkeys programmed to your vehicle.

WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if the engine coolant has been lost, carefully remove the ra-diator cap and add engine coolant to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call aHyundai dealer for assistance.
D030A01A-DAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss ofpower, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. If this happens, 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" (automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the hand brake. Ifthe air conditioning is on, turn it off.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the chargingsystem checked by your Hyundai dealer. 3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from the bonnet, stop the engine. Do notopen the bonnet until the coolant has stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is oper-ating. 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 the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for engine coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning hadbeen in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephair, hands and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury. 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call thenearest Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.
