Hyundai i-30: Trailer towing / Maintenance when towing a
trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil, automatic
transmission fluid, axle lubricant
and cooling system fluid. Brake
condition is another important item to
frequently check. If you’re trailering,
it’s a good idea to review these items
before you start your trip. Don’t forget
to also maintain your trailer and towbar.
Follow the maintenance schedule
that accompanied your trailer and
check it periodically. Preferably, conduct
the check at the start of each
day’s driving. Most importantly, all
towbar nuts and bolts should be
tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:
- Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur
on hot days or during uphill driving.
If the coolant gauge indicates
over-heating, switch off
the air conditioner and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool
down the engine.
- Do not switch off the engine
whilst the coolant gauge indicates
over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool
down the engine)
- When towing check automatic
transmission fluid more frequently.
- If your vehicle is not equipped
with an air conditioner, you
should install a condenser fan
to improve engine performance
when towing a trailer.
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get
to know your trailer. Acquaint yourself
with the feel of handling and
braking with the added weight of the
trailer...
Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tyre and
Loading Information Label and the
Certification Label...
