If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer - Hyundai SANTA FE 2017 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
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 transaxle damage.
• When towing a trailer, be sure to
consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for further information on
additional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (less than 60 mph
(100 km/h)).
• On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the
posted towing speed
whichever is lower.
