Hyundai i-30: Trailer towing / If you decide to pull a trailer?
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
- Consider using a sway control.You
can ask a trailer towbar dealer
about sway control.
- Do not do any towing with your
vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in
serious engine or transmission
damage.
- When towing a trailer, be sure to
consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for further information on
additional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
- Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed (less than 60 mph
(100 km/h)) or posted towing
speed limit.
- On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
- Carefully observe the weight and
load limits provided in the following
pages.
Trailer weight
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more
than the maximum trailer weight with
trailer brakes. But even that can be
too heavy. It depends on how you plan
to use your trailer. For example,
speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how often your vehicle
is used to pull a trailer are all
important. The ideal trailer weight can
also depend on any special equipment
that you have on your vehicle.
Tongue load
The tongue load is an important
weight to measure because it affects
the total Gross Vehicle Weight
(GVW) of your vehicle. The trailer
tongue should weigh a maximum of
10% of the total loaded trailer weight,
within the limits of the maximum trailer
tongue load permissible.
After you've loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see if the weights are
proper. If they aren’t, you may be
able to correct them simply by moving
some items around in the trailer.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
- Never load a trailer with more
weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be
loaded with approximately
60% of the total trailer load;
the rear should be loaded with
approximately 40% of the total
trailer load.
- Never exceed the maximum
weight limits of the trailer or
trailer towing equipment.
Improper loading can result in
damage to your vehicle and/or
personal injury. Check weights
and loading at a commercial
scale or highway patrol office
equipped with scales.
Information
With increasing altitude the engine
performance decreases. From 1,000 m
above sea level and for every 1,000 m
thereafter 10% of vehicle/trailer
weight (trailer weighter + gross vehicle
weight) must be deducted.
