Driving your vehicle
If you are considering towing with
your vehicle, you should first check
your country's legal requirements.
Since laws vary, the requirements for
towing trailers, cars, or other types of
vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer for
further details before towing.
Remember that towing is different
from just driving your vehicle by
itself. Towing means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailer towing
requires correct equipment, and it
has to be used properly. Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper
trailer towing is not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
This section contains many time-
tested, important towing tips and
safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.
If you decide to pull a trailer?
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
• Do not do any towing with your
vehicle during its first 2,000 km to
allow the engine to properly break
in. Failure to heed this caution may
result in serious engine or
transaxle damage.
• When towing a trailer, be sure to
consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer for further information on
additional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (less than 100 km/h)
or posted towing speed limit.
• On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 70 km/h or the posted tow-
ing speed limit, whichever is lower.
TRAILER TOWING
Take the following precautions:
•If you don't use the correct
equipment and/or drive
improperly, you can lose con-
trol of the vehicle when you
are pulling a trailer. For exam-
ple, if the trailer is too heavy,
the braking performance may
be reduced. You and your pas-
sengers could be seriously or
fatally injured. Pull a trailer
only if you have followed all
the steps in this section.
•Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW
(Gross Combination Weight),
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight),
GAW (Gross Axle Weight ) and
trailer tongue load are all with-
in the limits.
