What to do in an emergency
Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you to have it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook under the front (or rear) of
the vehicle. Use extreme caution
when towing the vehicle. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than
the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently. Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do
not pull from the side or at a verti-
cal angle. Always pull straight
ahead.
CAUTION
Attach a towing strap to the
tow hook.
Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for
towing may damage the body
of your vehicle.
Use only a cable or chain
specifically intended for use
in towing vehicles. Securely
fasten the cable or chain to
the towing hook provided.

Front
Rear

Use a towing strap less than 16 feet
(5 m) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during towing.
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 steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill,
the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.

driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress
on the emergency towing hook
and towing cable or chain. The
hook and towing cable or chain
may break and cause serious
injury or damage.
If the disabled vehicle can not
be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or
a commercial tow truck serv-
ice for assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.
OBK069020
CAUTION - Automatic
transmission
If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it
can be towed only from the
front. Be sure that the transmis-
sion is in neutral. Be sure the
steering is unlocked by placing
the ignition switch in the ACC
position. A driver must be in
the towed vehicle to operate
the steering and brakes.
To avoid serious damage to
the automatic transmission,
limit the vehicle speed to 10
mph and drive less than 1
mile when towing.
Before towing, check the level
of the automatic transmission
fluid. If it is below the "HOT"
range on the dipstick, add fluid.
If you cannot add fluid, a tow-
ing dolly must be used.

and latches.
Lubricate the door rubber weather-
strips.
Check the air conditioning system.
Check the power steering fluid
level.
Inspect and lubricate the automat-
ic transmission linkage and con-
trols.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level.Follow Normal Maintenance
Schedule if the vehicle is usually
operated where none of the following
conditions apply. If any of the following
conditions apply, follow Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions.
Repeated short distance driving.
Driving in dusty conditions or
sandy areas.
Extensive use of brakes.
Driving in areas where salt or other
corrosive materials are being used.
Driving on rough or muddy roads.
Driving in mountainous areas.
Extended periods of idling or low
speed operation.
Driving for a prolonged period in
cold temperatures and/or extremely
humid climates.
More than 50% driving in heavy
city traffic during hot weather
above 90°F (32°C).
If your vehicle is operated under the
above conditions, you should
inspect, replace or refill more fre-
quently than the following Normal

Maintenance

Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning
and caution statements that appear
on the label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
materials. Make sure the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear and
clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits. A mild soap, safe for
use on painted surfaces, may be
used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the fin-
ish.
APPEARANCE CARE
CAUTION
Do not use strong soap, chem-
ical detergents or hot water,
and do not wash the vehicle in
direct sunlight or when the
body of the vehicle is warm.
Do not wash the side windows
too close with high pressure
water. Water may leak through
the windows and wet the inte-
rior.
To prevent damage to the
plastic parts and lamps, do
not clean with chemical sol-
vents or strong detergents.
WARNING - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward
speed.

Maintenance
Aluminum or chrome wheel main-
tenance
The aluminum or chrome wheels are
coated with a clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum or
chrome wheels. They may scratch
or damage the finish.
Clean the wheel when it has
cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, be sure to clean
the wheels after driving on salted
roads. This helps prevent corro-
sion.
Avoid washing the wheels with
high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any alkaline or acid
detergent. It may damage and cor-
rode the aluminum or chrome
wheels coated with a clear protec-
tive finish.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corro-
sion
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produces cars of the
highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-
term corrosion resistance your vehi-
cle can deliver, the owner's coopera-
tion and assistance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corro-
sion on your car are:
Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath
the car.

coatings by stones, gravel, abra-
sion or minor scrapes and dents
which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slow-
ly to see if they have been
affected by water. If braking
performance is impaired, dry
the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a
slow forward speed.
If the underbody of you vehi-
cle is sprayed with coating
substances, the high-speed
drive system parts such as
the drive shaft or propeller
shaft will be out of balance
and make noise or vibrate.
Moreover, the high-speed
drive system parts may be
damaged.
