Page 229 Failure to heed this caution may result in serious engine or transaxle damage. • When towing a trailer, be sure to con- sult an authorized Hyundai dealer for further information additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
Page 230 Tongue Load Total Trailer Weight C190E01JM Weight of the trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It should never weigh more than the maxi- mum trailer weight with trailer brakes. But even that can be too heavy. It depends on how you plan to use your trailer.

Page 232 VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT OHD056900N Tire and loading information label The label located on the driver's door sill gives the original tire size, cold tire pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.
Page 233 Driving your vehicle Steps for determining correct load limit 1. Locate the statement "The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
Page 234 Example 2 C190F02JM Item Description Total Vehicle Capacity 1400 lbs Weight (635 kg) Subtract Occupant 750 lbs Weight (340 kg) 150 lbs (68 kg) × 5 Available Cargo and 650 lbs Luggage weight (295 kg) Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading information label for specific informa- tion about your vehicle's capacity weight and seating positions.
Page 235 Driving your vehicle To find out the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle.Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both sides of the center- line.
Page 236 CAUTION • Overloading your vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by your war- ranty. Do not overload your vehicle. • Using heavier suspension components to get added durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way.

Page 250 Important - use of compact spare tire Your vehicle is equipped with a com- pact spare tire. This compact spare tire takes up less space than a regu- lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a conventional tire and is designed for temporary use only.
Page 251 What to do in an emergency • Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the com- pact spare tire is installed. • Do not use tire chains on the com- pact spare tire. Because of the smaller size, a tire chain will not fit properly.
Page 252 Towing service If emergency towing is necessary, we recommend having it done by an author- ized Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow-truck service. Proper lifting and tow- ing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is recommended.
Page 253 OMG065013 Emergency towing If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by an authorized Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be tem- porarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing hook under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Page 254 • If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not forcibly con- tinue the towing. Contact an authorized Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service for assistance. • Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.

Page 287 Maintenance TIRES AND WHEELS Tire care For proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel economy, you must always maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle. Recommended cold tire inflation pressures All tire pressures (including the spare) should be checked when the tires are cold.
Page 288 Keep your tire pres- sures at the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by an author- ized Hyundai dealer. • Overinflation produces harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of dam- age from road hazards.
Page 289 Replace tires that are worn, show uneven wear, or are damaged. • Remember to check the pres- sure your spare tire. Hyundai recommends that you check the spare every time you check the pressure of the other tires on your vehi- cle.
Page 290 Tire rotation To equalize tread wear, it is recom- mended that the tires be rotated every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or sooner if irregular wear develops. During rotation, check the tires for correct balance. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage.
Page 291 Maintenance Wheel alignment and tire balance The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need...
Page 292 • Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's specifications may fit poorly and result in damage to the vehicle or unusual han- dling and poor vehicle control. Compact spare tire replacement A compact spare tire has a shorter tread life than a regular size tire.
Page 293 Maintenance Tire traction Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Page 294 89 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry. H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section for additional information. Wheel size designation Wheels are also marked with impor- tant information that you need if you ever have to replace one.
Page 295 Maintenance WARNING - Tire age A tire more than 6 years old may sustain separation of cord lay- ers inside the tire. Tire failure to separation of cord, can cause accidents resulting in severe injuries or death. Make sure to check the manu- facturing date of the tire and replace it within 6 years of that date.
Page 296 Temperature -A, B & C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C. The grades repre- sent the tire’s resistance to the gen- eration of heat and its ability to dissi- pate heat when tested under con- trolled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Page 299 Maintenance Snow tires If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; other- wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the stan-...
Page 300 If the replacement fuse blows, this indi- cates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately consult an authorized Hyundai dealer. Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type for lower amperage rating, cartridge type, and fusible link for higher amperage rat- ings.
Page 301 5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult an authorized Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the cigar lighter fuse.

Page 316 Underbody maintenance Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control may col- lect on the underbody. If these materials are not removed, accelerated rusting can occur on underbody parts such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system, even though they have been treated with rust protection.
Page 317 Maintenance Corrosion protection Protecting your vehicle from corro- sion By using the most advanced design and construction practices to combat corro- sion, we produces cars of the highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve the long-term corrosion resistance your vehicle can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required.
Page 318 To help prevent corrosion You can help prevent corrosion from get- ting started by observing the following: Keep your car clean The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corrosive materials. Attention to the underside of the car is particularly important.
Page 319 Maintenance Interior care Interior general precautions Prevent caustic solutions such as per- fume and cosmetic oil from contacting the dashboard because they may cause damage or discoloration.
