What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an emer-
gency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-tion.
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
Removable towing hook
(if equipped)
1. Open the trunk lid/tailgate, and remove the towing hook from the tool
case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressing the lower part of the cover on the bumper.
3. Install the towing hook by turning it clockwise into the hole until it is fully
secured.
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.
Emergency towing (if equipped)
If towing is necessary, we recommend
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 temporar-
ily towed using a cable or chain secured to
the emergency towing hook attached to
the front (or under the rear) of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shiftlever in N (Neutral) may cause inter-nal damage to the transaxle.ORB060007

What to do in an emergency
Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5m) 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Emergency towing is not legal in all
states. Contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and tow the vehicle.
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transaxle 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.CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it canbe towed only from the front. Besure that the transaxle is in neu-tral. Be sure the steering isunlocked by placing the ignition switch in the ACC position. Adriver must be in the towed vehi- cle to operate the steering andbrakes.
To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limit thevehicle speed to 10 mph (15 km/h)and drive less than 1 mile (1.5km) when towing.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transaxle fluid leak underyour vehicle. If the automatic transaxle fluid is leaking, aflatbed equipment or towing dollymust be used.

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while vehicle was not in use) jump start
the vehicle from another battery and run
the engine at least 20 minutes at idle
before driving. Do not turn off the engine
for 30 minutes total of idle and/or driving
as the battery may not have sufficient
recharge to start.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSI-
TION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and relat-
ed accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and reproduc-
tive harm. Batteries also contain
other chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer. Wash
hands after handling.
(Continued)
Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery cables
are connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with the
engine running or the ignition
switched on.
Failure to follow the above warn-
ings can result in serious bodily
injury or death.CAUTION
When you don’t use the vehicle for a long time in low temperaturearea, separate the battery andkeep it indoors.
Always charge the battery fully to prevent battery case damage inlow temperature area.
If you connect unauthorized elec- tronic devices to the battery, thebattery may be discharged. Never use unauthorized devices.
Make sure the battery cap is closed. If the battery cap is notclosed securely, it can malfunc- tion because the electric compo-nents are exposed to moisture.
WARNING
Separating the battery from the
vehicle should be done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

ponents 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.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only bulbs of the specified wattage.
✽
✽NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to
the LOCK position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattagerating. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuse or electricalwiring system.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools, the correct bulbs and the expert-ise, consult an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer. In many cases, itis difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs because other parts of thevehicle must be removed beforeyou can get to the bulb. This isespecially true if you have toremove the headlight assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing
the headlight assembly
can result in damage to the vehi- cle.
Do not install additional bulbs or LED type bulbs. If you install that,the lamp may not be operatedproperly and fuse box or electrical wiring system may have a prob-lem.
