What to do in an emergency
6If any of the equipment such as the
jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip-ment is damaged or in poor condi-tion, do not attempt to change the
tire and call for assistance.
Use of compact spare tires
Compact spare tires are designed for
emergency use only. Drive carefullyon the compact spare tire and
always follow the safety precautions.When driving with the compact spare
tire mounted to your vehicle:
Check the tire pressure after
installing the compact spare tire. The compact spare tire should be
inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa).
Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the com-pact spare tire is installed.
Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because thistire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tires with the same sizeand design, mounted on the samewheel.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed.
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the studs and lug nuts. Make
certain during tire changing
that the same nuts that were
removed are reinstalled. If you
have to replace your lug nuts
make sure they have metric
threads to avoid damaging thestuds and ensure the wheel is
properly secured to the hub.
Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.CAUTION
To prevent compact spare tire
failure and loss of control pos-
sibly resulting in an accident:
Use the compact spare tire
only in an emergency.
NEVER operate your vehicle
over 50 mph (80 km/h).
Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the
load carrying capacity shown
on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tire.
Do not use the compact spare
tire continuously. Repair orreplace the original tire as
soon as possible to avoid fail-
ure of the compact spare tire.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
✽✽NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehi-
cle, the lug nut torque must be set
correctly to prevent wheel vibration.
The correct lug nut tightening
torque is 65-79 lb.ft (9-11 kg.m).
To prevent damaging the com-
pact spare tire and your vehicle:
Drive slowly enough for the
road conditions to avoid all
hazards, such as a potholesor debris.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diame-ter is smaller than the diame-
ter of a conventional tire and
reduces the ground clearance
approximately 1 in (25 mm).
Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because
of the smaller size, a tire chain
will not fit properly.
Do not use the compact spare
tire on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow
tires, wheel covers or trimrings be used with the com-pact spare wheel.

Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dolliesor flatbed is recommended.It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the ground(without dollies) and the front wheels
off the ground. If any of the loadedwheels or suspension 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 lifted, not the rear.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbedequipment with all the wheels off the
ground.

A AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transaxle or the
AWD system.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle with
the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift orflatbed equipment.

What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies:
1.Place the ignition switch in theACC position.
2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3.Release the parking brake.
Removable towing hook
1.Open the tailgate, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
2.Remove the hole cover pressing the lower part of the cover on the
front or rear bumper. 3.Install the towing hook by turning it
clockwise into the hole until it isfully secured.
4.Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.
Failure to place the shift lever in
N (Neutral) when being towed
with the front wheels on the
ground can cause internal dam-
age to the transaxle.

If your vehicle is equipped with
a rollover sensor, place the igni-

Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial 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 at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. 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 ingood condition.
Always follow these emergency tow-ing precautions:
Place the ignition switch in the
ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked. (if equipped)
Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
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.

Use a towing cable or chain lessthan 16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 12 inch(30 cm) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
Before towing, check the automatic transaxle for fluid leaks under your
vehicle. If the automatic transaxlefluid is leaking, flatbed equipment or
a towing dolly must be used.
Tie-down hook
OLMB063019
OLMB033091
To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
Always pull straight ahead
when using the towing hooks.
Do not pull from the side or at
a vertical angle.
Do not use the towing hooks to
pull a vehicle out of mud, sand
or other conditions from which
the vehicle cannot be driven
out under its own power.
Limit the vehicle speed to 10 mph (15 km/h) and driveless than 1 mile (1.5 km) when
towing to avoid serious dam-
age to the automatic transaxle.
CAUTION
Do not use the tie-down hook(s)
for towing purposes. If the tie-
down hook(s) are used for tow-
ing, the tie-down hook(s) or
bumper will be damaged and
this could lead to serious injury.

Maintenance
In an emergency, if you do not have
a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same
rating from a circuit you may not
need for operating the vehicle, such
as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is blown, it must be replaced.Memory fuse (SHUNT connector)
Your vehicle is equipped with a mem-
ory fuse (SHUNT connector) to pre-
vent battery discharge if your vehicle
is parked without being operated for
prolonged periods. Use the following
procedures before parking the vehi-
cle for prolonged periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and parkinglights.
3. Open the driver's side panel cover and pull out the memory fuse (SHUNT connector).
✽✽ NOTICE
 If the memory fuse is pulled up from the fuse panel, the warning
chime, audio, clock and interior
lamps, etc., will not operate. Some
items must be reset after replace-
ment. Refer to "Battery" in this
chapter.
 Even though the memory fuse is pulled up, the battery can still be
discharged by operation of the
headlights or other electrical
devices.
