What to do in an emergency
18
6
Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16
feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
F080301ABH
Emergency towing precautions
Place the ignition switch in ACC so the steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance. More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle dur- ing towing.
OBK069020
CAUTION - Automatic
transmission
If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it canbe towed only from the front. Be sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 40 km/h (25 mph)and for more than 25 km (15miles). Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition switch in the ACC position. Adriver must be in the towed vehi- cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transmission fluid leakunder your vehicle. If the auto- matic transaxle fluid is leaking, a
flatbed equipment or towing dollymust be used.
