2008 Hyundai Entourage Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Driving on grades
Parking on hills
CAUTION
Reduce speed  and shift to  a lower gear
before  you  start down  a  long  or  steep
downgrade. If  you don’t  shift down,  you
might have  to use your  brakes so much
that  they  would get  hot  and  no  longer
operate efficiently.
On  a long  uphill  grade, shift  down  and
reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70
km/h) to reduce  the possibility of engine
and transaxle overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than  the max-
imum trailer weight without  trailer brakes
and  you  have  an  automatic  transaxle,
you should  drive in D  (Drive) when tow-
ing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer will minimize heat build up
and extend the life of your transaxle.
Generally, you should not park your vehi-
cle,  with  a   trailer  attached,  on   a  hill.
People can be seriously or fatally injured,
and both your vehicle  and the trailer can
be damaged if they  begin a downhill tra-
jectory.
When  towing  a  trailer  on  steep
grades   (in  excess   of   6%)  pay
close   attention   to   the   engine
coolant   temperature    gauge   to
ensure the engine  does not over-
heat. If  the needle  of the coolant
temperature gauge moves across
the  dial  towards “H”  (HOT),  pull
over and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so,  and allow the engine  to
idle until  it cools  down. You may
proceed   once   the   engine   has
cooled sufficiently.
WARNING - Parking  on a
hill
Parking your vehicle on a hill with a
trailer attached could cause serious
injury  or  death,  should  the  trailer
break lose.
You  must  decide  driving   speed
depending  on trailer  weight  and
uphill grade  to reduce the  possi-
bility   of   engine  and   transaxle
overheating.
However,  if you  ever have  to  park your
trailer on a hill, here’s how to  do it:
1. Apply your  brakes, but don’t  shift into
gear.
2.
Have  someone  place   chocks  under
the trailer wheels.
3.
When the  wheel chocks  are in  place,
release  the  brakes  until   the  chocks
absorb the load.
4.
5.
Reapply the  brakes. Apply  your park-
ing brake, and then shift to P (Park) for
an automatic transaxle.
Release the brakes.
