2003 Hyundai Atos Owners Manual

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
4.
To maintain  engine braking efficiency and
electrical charging performance, do not use
fifth  gear (manual  transaxle) or  overdrive
(automatic transaxle).
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.
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.
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 transaxle 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.
