Driving your vehicle
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
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
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
further information on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a
moderate speed (less than 100 km/h
(60 mph)) or posted towing speed
limit.
• On a long uphill gradient, do not
exceed 70 km/h (45 mph) or the
posted towing speed limit, whichever
is lower.
• Carefully observe the weight and load
limits provided in the following pages.

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.
