HIGHER SPEED MOTORING
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
If you are considering towing with your car, you
should first check with your Province Depart-
ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal
requirements.
Since laws vary from province to province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other
types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask
your Hyundai dealer for further details before
towing.
Pre-Trip Inspections
Tires:
1.
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-
tion driving. 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.
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 are not obstructed.
NOTE:
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
CAUTION:
Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) 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.
2.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:
High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check
both engine coolant and engine oil.

Carry Emergency Equipment
3. Drive belt:
C190B01S-AAT
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 blan-
ket, etc.
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.
Trailer Hitches
Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's 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.
C180A01A-AAT
USE OF LIGHTS
Check your lights regularly for correct operation
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.
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.
