DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
to tyres which deteriorate through time and
exposure rather than as a result of the dis-
tances towed. The inside walls of the tyres
should be inspected along with the outside
walls for cracking and damage. The trailer
wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular
basis, preferably before each towing session.
driving vehicles with automatic transmission
will assist with braking performance when
long down hill gradients are encountered.
Improved acceleration 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 undesir-
able upshift whilst hill climbing 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.

MANUAL
The trailer hitch and the safety catch mecha-
nism must be maintained in good working
order. 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 Ve-
hicle Weight Rating (GVWR) shown on
the vehicle identification plate (see
page 8-1). The total gross vehicle weight
is the combined weight of the vehicle,
driver, all passengers and their lug-
gage, cargo, hitch, trailer nose weight
and other optional equipment.
The front or rear axle weight must not
exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifi-
cation 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, brak-
ing 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 uncontrollable by reducing corner-
ing speeds and allowing 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 follow-
ing chart .
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
"Overdrive Off" "2" and "L" positions when
