If you do decide to pull a trail-
er
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control. You
can ask a hitch dealer about sway
control.
• Do not do any towing with your
vehicle during its first 2,000 km
(1,200 miles) 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 an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer on addition-
al requirements such as a towing
kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Max speed for stan-
dard trailer is 80 km/h (50 mph)).
❇
Special trailer 100 km/h (60
mph) is allowed but trailer need
special approval from TÜV.
• On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
• Fuel consumption will increase due
to the additional required power to
tow trailer and additional trans-
portation weight at the trailer.
To prevent vehicle damage :
•
Due to higher load during
trailer usage,
overheating
might occur in hot days or
during uphill driving. If the
coolant gauge indicates over-
heating, switch off the A/C
and stop the vehicle in a safe
area to cool down the engine.
•
When towing check transmis-
sion fluid more frequently.
•
If your vehicle is not equipped
with the air conditioner, you
should install a condenser fan
to improve engine perform-
ance when towing a trailer.
