2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid emergency towing

H13
If An Accident OccursWhen the hybrid vehicle shuts off
When the high voltage battery dis-
charged, 12-volt battery discharged, or
fuel tank is empty, the hybrid system may
not operate while driving. If the Hybrid
system is not operated, do the following;
1. Reduce the vehicle speed gradually.
Pull your vehicle off the road as safe
area.
2. Shift the transmission into "P" position.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
4. Set the start button at OFF, and try to
start the Hybrid system by applying the
brake pedal and pushing the start but-
ton.
5. If the Hybrid system will not operate,
refer to "EMERGENCY STARTING" in
chapter 6.
When you try to jump start the vehicle,
confirm the fuel level and exact proce-
dure of jump start. For details, see the
"EMERGENCY STARING" in chapter 6.
If the fuel level is low, do not try to drive
the vehicle on battery power. The high
voltage battery may be discharged and
the Hybrid system will turn off.
WARNING
After parking the vehicle, shift the
transmission into "P" position.
Turn off the hybrid system. Push
the button again to turn off.
For your safety, do not touch high
voltage cables, connectors and
package modules.
Exposed cables or wires maybe
visible inside or outside of the
vehicle. Never touch the wires or
cables, because an electrical
shock may occur causing injury or
death.
If a fire occurs, never use water to
put out a fire. For safety, use an
extinguisher for electrical fires
with proper chemicals and evacu-
ate immediately.
If you need towing, refer to chapter
6.
WARNING
When you pull your vehicle off the
road as safe area, open the door
when the vehicle completely stops.

EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting proce-
dures. If in doubt, we strongly recom-
mend that you have a competent techni-
cian or towing service jump start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair by
use of a 24-volt power supply (either
two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING- Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas which may
explode if exposed to flame or
sparks.
If these instructions are not fol-
lowed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur! If you are not sure
how to follow this procedure,
seek qualified assistance.
Automobile batteries contain sul-
furic acid. This is poisonous and
highly corrosive. When jump
starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the
car.
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
WARNING- Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as this
may cause the battery to rupture or
explode causing serious injury.

TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an author-
ized Hyundai dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and tow-
ing procedures are necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel
dollies or flatbed is recommended.It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground (without dol-
lies) and the front wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen-
sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
front of the vehicle should always be lift-
ed, not the rear.

CAUTION
Do not tow with sling-type equip-
ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
Never tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.
