DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

The maximum permissible static vertical
load on the coupling device :
Lbs.(kg)
fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive
(automatic transmission).
. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
. 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.
. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting.
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
transmission to a lower gear and reduce
speed to reduce chances of engine over-
loading and/or overheating.

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.
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
transmission to overheat. Use the parking
brake or footbrake.

. When parking your car and trailer, especial-
ly 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 transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual)
or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
. 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.
16.The maximum permissible overhang of the
coupling point : 38.98 in.(990 mm).
NOTE:
When towing check transaxle fluid more
frequently.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
If overheating should occur when towing,
(temperature gauge reads near red zone),
taking the following action may reduce or
eliminate the problem.
1.
Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and
turn signals.

0.During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the
lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
1.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
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
selection in park or neutral and idle the
engine at a higher speed.

Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed (Less than 60mph).
Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor-
mal conditions.
To maintain engine braking efficiency and
electrical charging performance, do not use
