If you do decide to pull a trail- er
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
Consider using a sway control. Youcan ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
Do not do any towing with your vehicle during its first 2,000 km
(1,200 miles) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in
serious engine or transmission
damage.
When towing a trailer, we recom- mend that you consult an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer on addition-
al requirements such as a towingkit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Max speed for stan-
dard trailer is 80 km/h (50 mph)). ❇ Special trailer 100 km/h (60
mph) is allowed but trailer need
special approval from TÜV. On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
Fuel consumption will increase due to the additional required power to
tow trailer and additional trans-
portation weight at the trailer.
To prevent vehicle damage :
Due to higher load during
trailer usage, overheating
might occur in hot days or
during uphill driving. If the
coolant gauge indicates over-
heating, switch off the A/C
and stop the vehicle in a safe
area to cool down the engine.
When towing check transmis-
sion fluid more frequently.
If your vehicle is not equipped
with the air conditioner, youshould install a condenser fan
to improve engine perform-
ance when towing a trailer.

What to do in an emergency
5.Start the engine of the vehicle withthe booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If the cause of your battery discharg-
ing is not apparent, we recommendthat the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Push-starting
Your manual transmission-equipped
vehicle should not be push-startedbecause it might damage the emis-sion control system. If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, 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 shift lever in neutral and set the parking brake. If the air con-
ditioning is on, turn it off.
3.If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is com-ing out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood 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 oper-
ating. If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.

Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge for-
ward when the engine startscould cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.

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 leak-
ing from the radiator, hoses or
under the vehicle. (If the air condi-
tioning 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 bro-
ken or engine coolant is leakingout, stop the engine immediately
and we recommend that you call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. 6.If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
What to do in an emergency
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts suchas the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to be blown out ofthe opening and cause serious
burns.
WARNING
Serious loss of coolant indi- cates there is a leak in thecooling system and we rec-ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
When the engine overheats
from low engine coolant, sud-
denly adding engine coolant
may cause cracks in the
engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly insmall quantities.
