2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE automatic transmission

Driving Your Vehicle6-74
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so your
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs,
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid
jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to have a different turn signal flasher and
extra wiring. The green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you
signal a turn or lane change. Properly
connected, the trailer lights will also flash
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will flash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s
important to check frequently to be sure
the trailer bulbs are still working. You
must also check the lights every time
you disconnect and then reconnect the
wires.
WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle’s lighting
system. Use an approved trailer wiring
harness. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the vehicle electrical
system and/or personal injury. Consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
Driving on hills
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift to a lower
gear, you may have to use your brakes
excessively and they would overheat and
may not operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift to a lower
gear and reduce your speed to around
45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the
possibility of engine and transmission
overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes and you have an automatic
transmission, you should drive in D
(Drive) when towing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive)
when towing a trailer will minimize heat
build-up and extend the life of your
transmission.
NOTICE
To prevent engine and/or transmission
overheating:

[ When towing a trailer on steep
grades (in excess of 6%) pay close
attention to the engine coolant
temperature gauge to ensure the
engine does not overheat. If the
needle of the coolant temperature
gauge moves towards “H” (HOT),
pull over and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so, and allow the engine
to idle until it cools down. You may
proceed once the engine has cooled
sufficiently.

[ When towing a trailer, your vehicle
speed may be much slower than the
general flow of traffic, especially
when climbing an uphill grade. Use
the right hand lane when towing a
trailer on an uphill grade. Choose
your vehicle speed according to the
maximum posted speed limit for
vehicles with trailers, the steepness
of the grade, and your trailer weight.

brake.

[ When the Remote Start (
)
button is pressed, the vehicle
will turn off. If the driver is in the
vehicle, the vehicle will retain ON
position.
Information

[ Remote Operation can control the
vehicle remotely using the smart key
outside the vehicle.

[ Check that all smart keys are outside
the vehicle when using Remote
Operation function.

[ Remote Operation function will operate
only when the smart key is within
13 ft. (4 m) from the vehicle. If there
is no vehicle movement even when
the Forward or Backward button is
pressed on the smart key, check the
distance to the vehicle and press the
button again.

[ The detecting range of the smart
key may vary depending on the
surroundings that are affected by radio
waves such as transmission tower,
broadcast station, etc.

[ When remotely moving forward using
method (1), it is recognized as an exit
situation, and the vehicle moves 13 ft.
(4 m) to check for pedestrians, animals
or objects around the vehicle. After
confirmation, the steering wheel is
controlled according to the condition
ahead.

[ When remotely moving forward
using method (2), it is recognized as a
parking situation, and will immediately
control the steering wheel according
to the condition ahead to assist with
entering the parking space and aligning
the vehicle. However, performance may
reduce depending on the pedestrians,
animals, shape of objects, location, etc.,
around the vehicle.

[ For moving remotely backward, both
method (1) and (2) aligns the steering
wheel first, and then will only move the
vehicle straight.
