Making turns
When  towing   a  trailer,   the   green    Driving on  hills
arrows on your  instrument panel will
When  you're  turning  with  a  trailer,
make  wider  turns  than  normal. Do
this  so your  trailer  won't  strike soft
shoulders,  curbs, road  signs,  trees,
or other  objects. Avoid jerky  or sud-
den   maneuvers.    Signal    well    in
advance.
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
overheated and may not operate effi-
ciently.
On  a  long  uphill grade,  shift  down
and reduce your speed to around 70
km/h (45  mph) to  reduce the  possi-
bility   of  engine   and   transmission
overheating.
If your  trailer  weighs more  than the
maximum trailer  weight without trail-
er brakes and you  have an automat-
ic transmission, you should drive in D
(Drive) when towing a trailer.
flash  for turns  even  if the  bulbs  on
the trailer  are burned out. Thus, you
may  think   drivers  behind  you   are
seeing  your  signals  when,  in   fact,
they are  not. It's  important to  check
occasionally  to  be  sure   the  trailer
bulbs are still working.You  must also
check the  lights every  time you  dis-
connect   and   then   reconnect   the
wires.
Turn signals
When you  tow a trailer,  your vehicle
has  to  have  a  different turn  signal
flasher  and extra  wiring. The  green
arrows on your  instrument panel will
flash whenever  you signal  a turn  or
lane  change.   Properly   connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to alert
other  drivers  you're  about  to   turn,
change lanes, or stop.
WARNING
5
Do not connect a trailer lighting
system  directly   to  your   vehi-
cle's  lighting   system.  Use  an
approved trailer wiring harness.
Failure to  do so could  result in
damage to the vehicle electrical
system  and/or  personal  injury.
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.
Operating  your vehicle  in  D (Drive)
when  towing  a  trailer will  minimize
heat build-up  and  extend the  life of
your transmission.
