TRAILER AND CARAVAN TOWING
TOWING ATTACHMENTS
Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid
additive to spill upon the paintwork or use
engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to
the paintwork may result.
It is strongly recommended that only an
Hyundai Approved towing attachment is used
to ensure that the loads placed upon the body
structure are correctly distributed. The use of
a non approved attachment will result in the
invalidation of the vehicle warranty. Hyundai
towing attachments are designed and con-
structed to ensure maximum towing perfor-
mance and ease of fitment. A range of acces-
sories including electrical kits are available
through the Hyundai authorised repairer net-
work.
o
When driving in extreme conditions, the
windscreen wiper blades may fail to clear
the screen properly due to the formation of
ice upon the blade edge. It will therefore be
necessary to periodically remove such ice
to restore their efficiency.

o
If the power operated door mirrors become
frozen, attempts to adjust these may dam-
age the mechanism.

The formation of snow or ice built up inside
the wheel arches may interfere with the
road wheels or steering mechanism. In
such instances, unusual noises or an in-
crease in steering effort may result. There-
fore, ensure that the wheel arches are
checked periodically and any accumulated
snow or ice removed.
WARNING:
It is of the utmost importance that those areas
of the vehicle which are subjected to greater
stress during towing are maintained in accor-
dance with the recommendations given at the
end of this book. In addition, the daily operating
checks relating to engine oil, transmission oil
and tyres must be performed at each refuelling
to ensure maximum reliability and safety.
The use of a proprietary stabiliser will assist in
achieving an inherently stable outfit but whilst
the use of such equipment will improve the
characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not
compensate for a badly loaded and therefore
unstable outfit.
It is not recommended that the vehicle be
used for towing until the first 1,000 miles
of Running in has been completed. All
Hyundai MATRIX models are suited to tow-
ing trailers and caravans up to the limits
indicated on page 2-14. MATRIX models
fitted with automatic transaxle have a
transaxle oil cooler and further transaxle
cooling should not be required.
o
It is advisable to carry emergency equip-
ment including, torch, shovel, tow rope,
blankets etc., if a journey is to be under-
taken into areas of severe road conditions.
The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the
trailer or caravan must be maintained in ac-
cordance with the recommendations of the
manufacturer. Special attention should be paid
