WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
C010A02L-AAT Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the trunk open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary: 1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds. To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

C090A02L-AAT
Insert key, and fasten the seat belt.
1. 2. Depress the brake pedal fully and place the
selector lever in "P" (park) position.
3. After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, make certain all warning lights and gauges are functioning properly before start- ing the engine.
4. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position
and release it when the engine starts. After the engine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. The starter should not be operated for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 15-30 sec- onds between starting attempts to protect the starter from overheating.
HXG065
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle
has five forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automati-
cally, depending on the position of the speed
selector lever. The selector lever has 2 gates;
the main gate and the manual gate.
NOTE:
For information on manual gate operation,
refer to "Sports Mode".
In the main gate, the selector lever has 5
positions, and is equipped with a button to avoid
inadvertent wrong selection.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the battery has been disconnected may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condi- tion, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).

CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
C090C01A-AAT o R(Reverse):
C090F02L-AAT Sports Mode
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to a complete stop before shifting the selector lever to "R" position.
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the selector lever position when the ignition is switched "ON". During sports mode operation, green lights indicate the gear cur- rently in use.
C090B01A-AAT The function of each position is as fol- lows:
o P (Park):
Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or while starting the engine. Whenever parking the car, apply the parking brake and shift the selec- tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.
C090D02A-AAT o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral, which means that no gears are engaged. The engine can be started with the shift lever in "N" position, although this is not recommended except if the engine stalls while the car is moving.
C090E01L-AAT o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. This position is used for most city and highway driving, for starting from a full stop to maximum speed. The transaxle will automatically shift through a five gear sequence.
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the "P" (Park) position unless the vehicle is fully stopped. Failure to observe this caution will cause severe damage to the transaxle.
HXG200
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is selected by pushing the selector lever from the "D" position into the manual gate. To return to "D" range operation, push the selector lever back into the main gate. In sports mode, moving the selector lever back- wards and forwards can make rapid gearshifts simple. In contrast to a manual transaxle, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accel- erator pedal depressed.
UP (+)
: Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
DOWN (-) : Pull the lever backward once to
shift down one gear.

C090I02L-GAT
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position only when
the vehicle has completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when shift- ing from "P" or "N", to "R" or "D" posi- tion.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always set the parking brake, shift the transaxle into "P" (Park) position and turn off the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even momentarily. Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. o Check the automatic transaxle fluid level
regularly, and add fluid as necessary.
o See the maintenance schedule for the
proper fluid recomendation.
o Before driving away from a stop on a slippery road, push the selector lever forward into the +(UP) position. This causes the transaxle to shift into 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push the selec- tor lever to the -(DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
C090H01L-GAT NOTE: o For smooth and safe operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting from "Neu- tral" position or "Park" position to a forward or reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the "ON" position and the brake pedal fully de- pressed in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D" position to "P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle damage.
CAUTION:
o In sports mode the driver must execute shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the en- gine speed below the red zone. For the engine protection, upward shifts are made automatically when the engine rpm reaches the red zone.
o By rapidly moving the selector lever backwards (-) twice, it is possible to skip one gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd or 5th to 3rd. Since sudden engine braking and/or rapid acceleration can cause a loss of traction, however, downshifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle's speed.
NOTE: o In sports mode, only the five forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the "R" or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.
o To maintain the required levels of ve- hicle performance and safety, the sys- tem may not execute certain gearshifts when the selector lever is operated.

GOOD DRIVING PRACTICES
C090N03Y-AAT o Never move the gear selector lever from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelera- tor pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P"
when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazard- ous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car. o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en- gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
C120A02A-AAT (If Installed)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con- trol module monitors the wheel speed and con- trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking.
NOTE: During ABS operation, a pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while braking. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning prop- erly.
WARNING:
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o Never exceed posted speed limits. o Excessive depressing of the accelerater pedal in slippery driving conditions such as pulling out of deep snow or mud may cause severe damage to the transaxle. Rocking the vehicle is not recommended. Rather, use an appropriate towing method.
xgflhma-2.p65
6/16/04, 3:00 PM
!
WARNING:
Your ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always main- tain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road condi- tions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road conditions. During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads. o With tire chains installed. o On roads where the road surface is pit-
ted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
C300A02Y-GAT (If Installed)
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, gently release foot pressure from the accelerator pedal and maintain moderate speed.
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery driving surfaces should be observed.
C300A02L-A On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces- sively during starting or while making acceler- ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels.

C300D02L-GAT Indicators and Warning
C130A01O-BAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated. To switch the TCS OFF mode, press the TCS switch . The SLIP control will be deactivated and the TCS indicator in the instrument cluster will be illuminated.
NOTE: 1) The TCS mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned off and restarted.
2) When the traction control is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indicates nothing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compartment; however, this is only the sound of traction control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not cause the engine speed to in- crease due to TCS operation.
The indicators should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" or "START" but should
go out after three seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, or the TCS or
TCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3
seconds, have it checked by an authorized
dealer.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the device while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illumi- nates as a warning. If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car to a safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS- OFF indicator goes out.
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine has been started, have your car checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
NOTE: 1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, traction control is automatically deacti- vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not provided when the driver selects the TCS-OFF mode.
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to the vehicle or injure the occu- pants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.

6/16/04, 3:00 PM
o Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed. o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving can be dangerous because it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effectiveness. It also increases the wear of the brake com- ponents.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o Don't let your car creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place the gear selec- tor lever in "P". If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other condi- tions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an ac- cumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
11
C140A01A-AAT You can save fuel and get more miles from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnec- essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos- sible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unneces- sary braking. This also reduces brake wear. o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the high- way, is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to over- heat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences. o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pressures at least once a month.

6/16/04, 3:00 PM
SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle accelera- tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your en- gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear result- ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
12
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor- rectly. Improper alignment can result from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wear and may also result in other problems as well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is required (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free of corrosive materials. It is especially impor- tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate on the underside of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corro- sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.

WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-AAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the problems of winter driving, you should follow these suggestions:
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
13
C160B01A-AAT Snowy or Icy Conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and type of the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids.
NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all states. Check state laws before fitting tire chains.
C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant
Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cool- ing system, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replen- ish your coolant in accordance with the main- tenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures anticipated during the winter.
C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.

C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary
In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System
Inspect your spark plugs as described in Sec- tion 6 and replace them if necessary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160G01A-AAT To Keep Locks from Freezing
C160I01L-AAT Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with care to avoid injury.
C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System
To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solution in accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail- able from Hyundai dealers and most auto parts outlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as these may damage the finish.
Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo- rarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter condi- tions where this may happen, you should peri- odically check underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components is not obstructed.

2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes more fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.
C180A01A-AAT USE OF LIGHTS
Check your lights regularly for correct opera- tion and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in conditions of poor visibility, it is helpful to drive with headlights on low beam. This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
C160K01A-AAT Carry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should carry appropri- ate emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tire chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
C170A01A-AAT HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica- tion. Low tire inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction or tire failure.
NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure shown on the tires.

TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
15
C190A01A-AAT If you are considering towing with your car, you should first check with your State's Department of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal re- quirements. Since laws vary from state to state the require- ments for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car during its first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Fail- ure to heed this caution may result in seri- ous engine or transaxle damage.
C190B01S-AAT Trailer Hitches
Select the proper hitch and ball combination, making sure that its location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib- utes the tongue load uniformly throughout the chassis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

C190E02L-AAT Trailer Weight Limit
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to federal and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed and operating correctly.
NOTE: If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. See Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
Should the hitch connection between your car and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerously across other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave the roadway. To eliminate this potentially dan- gerous situation, safety chains, attached be- tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in most states.
CAUTION:
o Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.
o When towing a trailer on steep grades (in excess of 12%) 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 across the dial 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.

WARNING:
o Improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can seriously affect its steering and braking performance causing a crash which could cause serious injury or death.
o Towing a trailer affected vehicle han-
dling and braking.
o Drive more slowly when towing a trailer and allow more distance when braking. o Be careful when driving in slippery and
windy conditions.
o Be careful when turning and while driv-
ing up and down hills.
o Do not exceed 45 mph or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower.
NOTE: 1. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half on the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifi- cation plate (see page 8-2). It is possible that your towing package does not ex- ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper trailer loading and/or too much luggage in the trunk can overload the rear axle. Redistribute the load and check the axle weight again.
CAUTION:
The following specifications are recom- mended when towing a trailer. The loaded trailer weight cannot safely exceed the val- ues in the chart.

C190F01L-AAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do not tow a trailer with the transaxle engaged in an overdrive gear.
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting, slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence. 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 parking brake firmly, and put the transaxle in Park. In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (the temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner. 2. Reduce highway speed. 3. Select a lower gear when going uphill. 4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
9.
If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection 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 acceleration or
sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes. 13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatic transaxle to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently.

(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calcu- lated in Step 4.
(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans- ferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this re- duces the available cargo and lug- gage load capacity of your vehicle.
VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT
C190F01L-AAT Tire and Loading Information Label
I030B01XG The tire label located on the driver's door edge gives the original tire size, cold tire pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1)Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds'' on your vehicle's placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.
(4)The resulting figure equals the avail- able amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capac- ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

C190G01L-AAT Compliance Label
Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading information label for specific informa- tion about your vehicle’s capacity weight and seating positions. The combined weight of the driver, passengers and cargo should never exceed your vehicle’s capacity weight.
C190G01JM The compliance label is located on the driver's side of the center piller outer panel.
The label shows the size of your original tires and the inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of the ve- hicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
21
This label also tells you the maximum weights that can be supported by the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the GAWR for either the front or rear axle.
o Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.

NOTE: o Overloading your vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com- ponents to get added durability might not change your weight rat- ings. Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way.
The label will help you decide how much cargo and installed equipment your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle – like suitcases, tools, packages, or any- thing else – they more as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the items will keep going and can cause an injury if they strikes the driver or a passenger.
WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

(-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then
attach the other end of that cable to a solid
metal part of the engine of the vehicle with the
discharged battery away from the battery.
Do not connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the dis- charged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for several minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transported to an emergency facil- ity, continue to apply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or an open flame in the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter- mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,
follow this procedure exactly:
1.
If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact location shown on the previous page. First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the dis- charged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using the

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A01L-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing, 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.
3.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming 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 operating. 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 conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
5.
If the water pump drive belt is broken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assistance.
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 seri- ous burns.
6.
If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
