vehicle, you should  first check with  your
country's Department  of  Motor Vehicles
to determine their legal requirements.
Since  laws   vary  the  requirements   for
towing  trailers,  cars,  or  other  types  of
vehicles or apparatus  may differ. Ask an
authorized  HYUNDAI  dealer for  further
details before towing.

km/h (62.1 mph) for vehicle of catego-
ry M1 or 80 km/h (49.7 mph) for vehi-

WARNING - Towing  a trail-
er
When a vehicle of category M1 is tow-
ing   a   trailer,   the   additional   load
imposed at the trailer coupling  device
may cause the tire maximum load rat-

than 15%. In  this case, do not  exceed
This section  contains many  time-tested,
important trailering 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.
If you  don't use  the correct  equip-
ment and drive improperly, you can
lose control when you pull a trailer.
For  example,  if  the   trailer  is  too
heavy,  the  brakes   may  not  work
well -  or even  at all.  You and  your
passengers  could  be seriously  or
fatally injured.  Pull a  trailer only  if
you have  followed  all the  steps in
this section.
100 km/h (62.1 mph) and  increase the
tire  inflation pressure  by at  least  0.2
bar.
Load-pulling  components   such  as  the
engine,   transaxle,   wheel   assemblies,
and   tires  are   forced  to   work   harder
against the load of the added weight. The
engine is required to operate at relatively
higher speeds  and under  greater loads.
This  additional  burden  generates extra
heat. The  trailer also  considerably adds
wind  resistance,  increasing  the  pulling
requirements.
CAUTION
Pulling   a   trailer   improperly   can
damage your  vehicle  and result  in
costly repairs  not covered  by your
warranty. To pull  a trailer correctly,
follow the advice in this section.
WARNING - Weight  limits
Before towing,  make sure the  total
trailer  weight,   gross  combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and  trailer tongue load
are all within the limits.
Your vehicle can tow  a trailer. To identify
