Driving your vehicle
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 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in
order to allow the engine to properly
break in. Failure to heed this caution
may result in serious engine or
transaxle 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 moderate speed (less than 60 mph (100 km/h)).
 On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted towing
speed limit, whichever is lower.

Weight of the trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be? It
should never weigh more than the maxi-
mum trailer weight with trailer brakes. But
even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude, road
grades, outside temperature and how
often your vehicle is used to pull a trailer
are all important. The ideal trailer weight
can also depend on any special equip-
ment that you have on your vehicle.
Weight of the trailer nose
The nose weight of any trailer is an
important weight to measure because it
affects the total gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of your vehicle. This weight
includes the kerb weight of the vehicle,
any cargo you may carry in it, and the
people who will be riding in the vehicle.
And if you will tow a trailer, you must add
the nose weight to the GVW because
your vehicle will also be carrying that
weight. The trailer nose should weigh a maximum
of 10% of the total loaded trailer weight,
within the limits of the maximum permis-
sible trailer nose weight. After you've
loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and
then the nose, separately, to see if the
weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may
be able to correct them simply by moving
some items around in the trailer.
WARNING -
Trailer
 Never load a trailer with more weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be loaded
with approximately 60% of the
total trailer load; the rear should
be loaded with approximately40% of the total trailer load.
 Never exceed the maximum weight limits of the trailer or trail-
er towing equipment. Improper
loading can result in damage to
your vehicle and/or personal
injury. Check weights and loading
at a commercial scale or highway
patrol office equipped withscales.
 An improperly loaded trailer can cause loss of vehicle control.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If engine cannot be cranked
1. If your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery terminals and con- nections to ensure that these are cleanand also tight.
3. If the interior lights dim when the engine is cranked and the battery ter-
minals 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. F030200AFD
If engine turns over normally but
does not start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position, check all connectors at
ignition, coil 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.
WARNING
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or
tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transaxle or fuel injec-
tion will not be able to be started inthis manner since no drive is trans-
mitted through the automatictransaxle 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.

What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
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 shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the bonnet, stop the engine. Donot open 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 vehicle. (If the air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal 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 a HYUNDAI authorisedrepairer is required.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over-heating happens again, call a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
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. This can
allow coolant to be blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns.

You may not be able identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Alwaysuse a good quality tyre pressuregauge to measure the tyre's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tyre that
is hot (from being driven) will have ahigher pressure measurement than atyre that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) during that
3 hour period).
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
CAUTION
Do not use any tyre sealant if
your vehicle is equipped with aTyre Pressure Monitoring System. The liquid sealant candamage the tyre pressure sen-sors.
WARNING - Protecting
TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre PressureMonitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere withthe system's ability to warn the
driver of low tyre pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the TyrePressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.WARNING - TPMS
 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or roaddebris.
 If you feel any vehicle instabil- ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.

Removing and storing the spare tyre
1. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
(1) counterclockwise.
Store the tyre in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tyre and tools
from “rattling” whilst the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly. Changing tyres
1. Park on a level surface and apply
the parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into R (Reverse) with manual transaxle
or P (Park) with automatic
transaxle.
3. Activate the hazard warning flash- er.
