2023 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Trailer Towing

Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when driving
your vehicle without a trailer. This can
help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You will need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And,
because of the increased vehicle length,
you’ll need to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before you can return
to your lane. Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer
to the left, move your hand to the left. To
move the trailer to the right, move your
hand to the right. Always back up slowly
and, if possible, have someone guide
you.
Making turns
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 sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
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.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will 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 disconnect and then reconnect the
wires.
WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle’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.

Driving Your Vehicle
6 -74
Driving on hills
Reduce speed before you start down a
long or steep downgrade.
On a long uphill grade, reduce your
speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h)
to reduce the possibility of motor
overheating.
NOTICE
To prevent motor overheating:
When towing a trailer, your vehicle
speed may be much slower than the
general flow of traffic, especially when
climbing an uphill grade. Use the right
hand lane when towing a trailer on an
uphill grade. Choose your vehicle speed
according to the maximum posted
speed limit for vehicles with trailers, the
steepness of the grade, and your trailer
weight.Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer attached
to your vehicle, you should not park your
vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it: 1.
Pull the vehicle into the parking space.
Turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the curb (right if headed
down hill, left if headed up hill).
2. Shift the gear to P (Park).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the vehicle.
4. Place wheel chocks under the trailer
wheels on the down hill side of the wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift to neutral, release the parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes and parking brakes.
7. Shift the gear to P (Park) when the
vehicle is parked on a uphill grade and
in R (Reverse) on a downhill.
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.

WARNING
To prevent serious or fatal injury: • Do not get out of the vehicle without
the parking brake firmly set. If you
have left the vehicle running, the
vehicle can move suddenly. You and
others could be seriously or fatally
injured.
• Do not apply the accelerator pedal to
hold the vehicle on an uphill.
Driving the vehicle after it has been
parked on a hill
1. With the gear in P (Park), apply your brakes and hold the brake pedal down
while you:
• Start your vehicle;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.Maintenance when Towing a
Trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include reduction gear fluid,
axle lubricant and cooling system fluid.
Brake condition is another important
item to frequently check. If you’re
trailering, it’s a good idea to review these
items before you start your trip. Don’t
forget to also maintain your trailer and
hitch. Follow the maintenance schedule
that accompanied your trailer and check
it periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage: • Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving.
• When towing check reduction gear
fluid more frequently.

Detecting vehicle
ONE1071156
If the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward from
the cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clearance,
additional special attention is
required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not be able
to detect the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance from the rearmost object,
and if necessary, steer your vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
WARNING
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, turn off Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist for to
safety reasons.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may operate if objects that are
similar in shape or characteristics to
vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists are
detected.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate on bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled objects, such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers. •

WARNING
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a convenience
function. Always have your eyes on
the road, and it is the responsibility
of the driver to avoid violating traffic
laws.
• The navigation’s speed limit
information may differ from the
actual speed limit information on the
road. It is the driver's responsibility
to check the speed limit on the
actual driving road or lane.
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control will automatically be
canceled when you leave the
highway main road. Always pay
attention to road and driving
conditions while driving.
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control may not operate due to the
existence of leading vehicles and
the driving conditions of the vehicle.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions while driving.
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, turn off Navigation-
based Smart Cruise Control for safety
reasons. •
After you pass through a tollgate on
a highway, Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control will operate based on
the first lane. If you enter one of the
other lanes, Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control might not operate
properly.
• The vehicle will accelerate if the
driver depresses the accelerator
pedal while Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating, and
the function will not decelerate the
vehicle. However, if the accelerator
pedal is depressed insufficiently, the
vehicle may decelerate.
• If the driver accelerates and
releases the accelerator pedal while
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control is operating, the vehicle may
not decelerate sufficiently or may
rapidly decelerate to a safe speed.
• If the curve is too large or too small,
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control may not operate.
