If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer - Hyundai i30 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle

If you do 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 hitch dealer about sway control.
• Do not do any towing with your car dur-
ing 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
transaxle damage.
• When towing a trailer, we recommend
that you consult with an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for further informa-
tion on additional requirements such
as a towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a moder-
ate speed (less than 100 km/h / 60
mph). If your vehicle is a commercial
vehicle, drive less than 80 km/h.
• On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing
speed limit, whichever is lower.
