If you decide to pull a trailer?
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a trailer hitch dealer about
sway control.
• Do not do any towing with your vehi-
cle during its first 1,200 miles (2,000
km) in order to allow the engine to
properly break in. Failure to heed this
caution may result in serious engine
or transmission damage.
• When towing a trailer, we recom-
mend that you consult a HYUNDAI
authorized repairer for further infor-
mation on additional require-ments
such as a towing kit, etc.
Information
i
• The technically permissible maxi-
mum load on the rear axle(s) may be
exceeded by not more than 15 % and
the technically permissible maxi-
mum laden mass of the vehicle may
be exceeded by not more than 10 %
or 220.4 lbs (100 kg), whiche ver
value is lower. In this case, do not
exceed 62.1 mph (100 km/h) for vehi-
cle of category M1 or 49.7 mph (80
km/h) for vehicle of category N1.
• When a vehicle of category M1 is
towing a trailer, the additional load
imposed at the trailer coupling
device may cause the tire maximum
load ratings to be exceeded, but not
by more than 15 %. In this case, do
not exceed 62.1 mph (100 km/h) and
increase the tire inflation pressure
by at least 0.2 bar.
• Always drive your vehicle at a moder-
ate speed (less than 60 mph (100
km/h)) or posted towing speed limit.
• On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted tow-
ing speed limit, whichever is lower.
• Carefully observe the weight and
load limits provided in the following
pages.
