Hyundai Kona: Driving your vehicle / Trailer towing (for europe)
If you are considering to tow with your vehicle, you should first your country's
legal requirements. As 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.
Remember that trailering is different than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in handling, durability, and fuel economy. Successful,
safe trailering requires correct equipment, and it has to be used properly. Damage
to your vehicle caused by improper trailer towing is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
This section contains many timetested, 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.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
- If you don't use the correct equipment and/or drive improperly, you
can lose control of the vehicle when you are pulling a trailer. For example,
if the trailer is too heavy, the braking performance may be reduced. You and
your passengers could be seriously or fatally injured. Pull a trailer only if
you have followed all the steps in this section.
- Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, GCW (Gross Combination
Weight), GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight), GAW (Gross Axle Weight) and trailer tongue
load are all within the limits.
- When you tow a trailer, make sure to turn off the ISG system.
Information - For Europe
- The technically permissible maximum load on the rear axle(s) may be
exceeded by not more than 15 % and the technically permissible maximum laden
mass of the vehicle may be exceeded by not more than 10% or 100 kg (220.4 lbs),
whichever value is lower. In this case, do not exceed 100 km/h (62.1 mph) for
vehicle of category M1 or 80 km/h (49.7 mph) for vehicle of category N1.
- When a vehicle of category M1 is towing a trailer, the additional load
imposed at the trailer coupling device may cause the tire maximum load ratings
to be exceeded, but not by more than 15%. In this case, do not exceed 100 km/h
(62.1 mph) and increase the tire inflation pressure by at least 0.2 bar.
