Safety Chains
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
trailerorvehiclecouldwanderdangerouslyacross
other lanes of traffic and ultimately collide with
anothervehicle.Toeliminatethispotentiallydan-
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
Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
