If you are considering towing with your car, you
should first  check with your  Province Depart-
ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal
requirements.
Since laws vary from province to  province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other
types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask
your Hyundai dealer  for further details  before
towing.
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure  it conforms to federal  and/or local
regulations and that it is properly installed and
operatingcorrectly.
Should the hitch connection between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the

gerous situation,  safety  chains, attached  be-
tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle,
are required in most provinces.
NOTE:
If you tow a  trailer or vehicle, your car  will
require more frequent maintenance  due to
theadditionalload.See"MaintenanceUnder
