2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

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.

6WHEEL AND TYRE CHANG- ING
D050A01MC-DAT In the event of a puncture and subse- quent tyre deflation occurring whilst the vehicle is in motion:
o Allow the vehicle speed to decrease,
without using the brakes if possible.
o Pull off the road or into the curb where it is safe to do so and stop the vehicle. Turn off the engine.
o Activate the hazard warning light, apply the hand brake and place thetransaxle in gear ("P" position forAutomatic Transaxle).
o Passengers should not remain in-
side the vehicle during wheel chang-ing.
D040B01A-DAT Handling the Spare Tyre Release the securing bolt to remove the spare tyre. To install the spare tyre, tighten the bolt firmly with your fingers until the spare tyre is secured.

8. Lower the vehicle to the ground by using the wheel brace and tighten the nuts fully by using the wheel brace. 10. Check and adjust the air pressure
ensuring that the valve cap is re-placed afterwards.
11. Return the jack, tool bag and spare wheel to the boot.
12. As soon as possible, check the wheel nut torque and adjust to the specification listed below:
Wheel nut tightening torque Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel: 900 ~ 1,100 kg.cm (65 ~ 80 lb.ft)
7. Replace the roadwheel, fit the wheel
nuts, with the tapered end towards the wheel and tighten.

IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is notdamaged in towing. Also, professionals are generally aware of local laws gov- erning towing. In any case, rather thanrisk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safetychain system is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle betowed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.
! CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be sure the steering is unlocked byplacing the key in the "ACC" posi-tion.
9. Reinstall wheel cap by fitting the
boss of the wheel cap in the grooveof the wheel, hitting the centre of the wheel cap with your hand. (If Installed)

CAUTION
It should be tightened firmly with your fingers until there is no more play in the towing hole. Towing hookis located in the jack case on the spare tyre.
! (3) Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to
the towing hook on the front bumper.
NOTE: Place the towing hook & towing hole cover in its original position when not in use.
(2) Take out the towing hook from the jack case. To mount the towing hook, rotate it clockwise.

How to Use Front Towing Hook (If Installed)
NOTE: The jack case is located on the spare tyre in the boot or luggage compart- ment.
!CAUTION: - Automatic Transaxle
o If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neu- tral. Be sure the steering is un-locked by placing the ignition switch in the ACC position. A driver must be in the towed vehicle tooperate the steering and brakes.
o To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transaxle, limit the ve-hicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing.

These pressures were chosen to pro- vide the most satisfactory combination of ride comfort, tyre wear and stability under normal conditions. Tyre pressuresshould be checked at least monthly. CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tyres are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hoursand hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tyre each time you check the pres-sure of other tyres.
o Worn, old tyres can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tyres have been dam-aged, replace them.
! I040A02S-DAT SNOW TYRES If you equip your car with snow tyres, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tyres. Snow tyres should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tyres should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tyres on the tyre label on the driver's side of the centre pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tyre sidewall, whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped with snow tyres.
OMC059110R
OMC059113RProper tyre inflation pressures should be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures increase the chance of dam-age from impacts and cause uneven tread wear.
