If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
Consider using a sway control. You canask a towbar dealer about sway con- trol.
Do not do any towing with your car dur- ing its first 1,000 miles in order to allow
the engine to properly run-in. Failure to
heed this caution may result in serious
engine or transmission damage.
When towing a trailer, be sure to con- sult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
further information on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a moder- ate speed (less than 60 mph (100km/h)).
On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted towing
speed limit, whichever is lower.

What to do in an emergency
3. Passengers must not be allowed toremain inside the vehicle during wheel
changing. If a puncture occurs whilst
the vehicle is on a motorway, the pas-
sengers should take refuge on the
motorway embankment to avoid the
possibility of injury occurring should
the vehicle be struck by other motor-
way traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed according to the following instructions.
F020300AEN-UK If engine stalls whilst driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or seek
other qualified assistance. F030100AUN-UK If engine cannot be cranked
1. If your car has an automatic transmis-
sion, be sure the gear selector lever is
in N (Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency brake is set.
2. Check the battery terminals and con- nections to ensure that these are cleanand also tight.
3. If the ignition warning lights dim when the engine is cranked and the battery
terminals have been checked, a dis-
charged battery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting" for
information regarding engine starting
when the battery is discharged.
F030200AEN-UK
If engine turns over normally but
does not start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the LOCKposition, check all connectors at the
ignition coils and spark plugs.
Reconnect any that may be discon-
nected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If the engine still does not start, call a HYUNDAI authorised repairer or seek
other qualified assistance.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
WARNING
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or
tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transmission or fuel
injection will not be able to be start-ed in this manner since no drive is
transmitted through the automatictransmission whilst the engine is
not running, and in the case of fuel
injected derivatives, the fuel pump
will not operate under tow start
conditions. In addition, if the vehi-
cle is equipped with an exhaust cat-
alyst, damage to the catalyst may
result if the vehicle is tow started.

Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles totouch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration.First connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery (1), then connect
the other end to the positive terminal
on the booster battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative ter-
minal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, the engine
lifting bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked. Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct ground. Do not
lean over the battery when making
connections.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and let it run at 2,000
rpm, then start the engine of the vehi-
cle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehi-
cle checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
F040200AUN
Push-starting
Your manual transmission-equipped
vehicle should not be push-startedbecause it might damage the emissioncontrol system.
Vehicles equipped with automatic trans-
mission cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of thebooster battery to the negative ter-
minal of the discharged battery.This can cause the discharged bat- tery to overheat and crack, releas-
ing battery acid.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
F050000AFD-UK
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, 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 transmission) or neutral
(manual transmission) and set the
parking brake. If the air conditioning is
on, turn it off.
3. If engine 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 steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of
engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is operat-
ing. 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 coolant leaking from the radiator,
hoses or under the car. (If the air con-
ditioning had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from it
when you stop). 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the
nearest HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for assistance. 6. If the cause of the overheating cannot
be found, wait until the engine temper-
ature has returned to normal. Then, ifcoolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the
coolant expansion tank to the halfway
mark. To ensure the correct water to
coolant mix is obtained after top up,
testing by an authorised repairer isrequired.
7. Proceed with caution until it is estab- lished that the engine is operating nor-
mally. If the engine overheats repeat-
edly, the advice of a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer should be sought.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling systemand this should be checked as soonas possible by a HYUNDAI autho- rised repairer.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam
and boiling water may be ejected
from the radiator resulting in burnsor scalding.

What to do in an emergency
4. After the spare tyre reaches theground, continue to turn the
wrench counterclockwise, and
draw the spare tyre outside. Never
rotate the wrench excessively, oth-
erwise the spare tyre carrier maybe damaged.
5. Remove the retainer (1) from the centre of the spare tyre. To store the spare tyre:
1. Lay the tyre on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
2. Place the wheel under the vehicle and install the retainer (1) through
the wheel centre.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it clicks. F070300ATQ-UK Changing tyres
1. Park on a level surface and apply
the parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into R (Reverse) with manual transmis-
sion or P (Park) with automatic
transmission.
3. Activate the hazard warning flash- er.
OTQ067006OTQ067007
WARNING
Ensure the spare tyre retainer is
properly aligned with the centre
of the spare tyre to prevent the
spare tyre “rattling”. Otherwise,
it may cause the spare tyre tofall off the carrier and lead to anaccident.

What to do in an emergency
Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5m) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing. F080301AUN
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
driving manoeuvres which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle dur- ing towing.
OTQ067014
CAUTION - Automatic transmission
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be surethat the transmission is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than
40 km/h (25 mph) and for more than 25 km (15 miles). Be sure the steer-ing is unlocked by placing the igni- tion switch in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering and brakes.
