D080A01O-GAT IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service.

Besure that a safety chain system is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehiclebe towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground.

tral.

If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, a replacement should be ob- tained and fitted at the first availableopportunity. The valve cap prevents the ingress of dirt which may cause the valve to stick and therefore leak and ispart of the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut wrench as well tools are correctly located in the boot of the vehicle to prevent damage and noise.
