Driving your vehicle
If you are considering towing with
your vehicle, you should first check
your country's legal requirements. As
laws vary the requirements for tow-
ing trailers, cars, or other types of
vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer for
further details before towing.
Remember that towing is different
from just driving your vehicle by
itself. Towing means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe towing requires cor-
rect equipment, and it has to be used
properly. Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper trailer towing is
not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer’s warranty.This section contains many time-
tested, important towing tips and
safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.

Take the following precautions:
If you don't use the correct
equipment and/or drive improp-
erly, you can lose control of the
vehicle when you are pulling a
trailer. For example, if the trail-
er is too heavy, the braking
performance may be reduced.
You and your passengers
could be seriously or fatally
injured. Pull a trailer only if you
have followed all the steps in
this section.
Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW
(Gross Combination Weight),
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight),
GAW (Gross Axle Weight) and
trailer tongue load are all with-
in the limits.
