DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
sure rather than as a result of the distances
towed. The inside walls of the tyres should be
inspected along with the outside walls for crack-
ing and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque
must be checked on a regular basis, preferably
before each towing session.
gradients are encountered. Improved accelera-
tion performance will be available by selecting
"Overdrive Off","2", or "1" depending upon road
speed if it is found that the transmission unit
makes an undesirable upshift whilst hill climb-
ing or overtaking. The transmission unit should
be operated in "D" with the Overdrive "On"
under normal circumstances to enhance fuel
economy and reduce noise and engine wear.

The trailer hitch and the safety catch mecha-
nism must be maintained in good working or-
der. The trailer break away cable or chain
should be inspected for damage and should be
attached to the vehicle towing attachment each
and every time the trailer is hitched to the
vehicle.

NOTE:
o
The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle
identification plate (see page 8-1). The
total gross vehicle weight is the com-
bined weight of the vehicle, driver, all
passengers and their luggage, cargo,
hitch, trailer tongue load and other op-
tional equipment.
The front or rear axle weight must not
exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica-
tion plate (see page 8-1). 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 boot can overload the rear
axle. Redistribute the load and check the
axle weight again.
Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle
will be reduced in terms of acceleration, braking
and handling due to the increased loads placed
upon the vehicle. The driver should anticipate
the change in characteristics and adjust the
driving style in keeping with these changes.
Care should be exercised when cornering and
braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncon-
trollable by reducing cornering speeds and al-
lowing increased braking distances.

CAUTION:
The use of a badly loaded or overloaded
trailer may result in instability.
This following specifications are recom-
mended when towing a trailer. The loaded
trailer weight or the Gross Train Weight
must not exceed the values in the chart
below.
The driver should exercise care to ensure that
when pulling away from rest particularly on
uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected
to excessive slippage which will reduce the
useful life of this component. Use of the "Over-
drive Off" "2" and "L" positions when driving
vehicles with automatic transmission will assist
with braking performance when long down hill
