Driving your vehicle
Trailer weight
If you decide to pull a trailer?
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
śꢀ Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a trailer towbar dealer about
sway control.
śꢀ Do not do any towing with your
vehicle 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 damages.
śꢀ When towing a trailer, be sure to
consult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for further information on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
śꢀ Always drive your vehicle at a
moderate speed (less than 60 mph
(100 km/h)) or posted towing speed
limit.
śꢀ On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted
towing speed limit, whichever is lower.

Tongue Load
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more than
the maximum trailer weight with trailer
brakes. But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outside temperature and
how often your vehicle is used to pull
a trailer are all important. The ideal
trailer weight can also depend on any
special equipment that you have on your
vehicle.
śꢀ Carefully observe the weight and load
limits provided in the following pages.
