DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 18
NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more weight in
the back than in the front. About 60% of
the trailer load should be in the front half
on the trailer and the remaining 40% in the
rear.
2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle iden-
tification plate (see page 8-1). The total
gross vehicle weight is the combined
weight of the vehicle, driver, all passen-
gers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer
tongue load and other optional equip-
ment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not
exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica-
tion plate (see page 8-1). It is possible that
your towing package does not exceed the
GVWR but exceeds the GAWR. Improper
trailer loading and/or too much luggage in
the cargo area can overload the rear axle.
Redistribute the load and check the axle
weight again.
4. The maximum permissible static vertical
load on the coupling device is :
5. The maximum permissible overhang of
the coupling point is 1,230 mm.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn
signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do not
tow a trailer with the transmission in fifth gear
(manual transmission) or an overdrive gear
(automatic transmission).
WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer
can seriously affect its steering and brak-
ing performance causing a crash which
could cause injury or death.
o When a trailer is used, the operation speed
is restricted to 100km/h or less.
