Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If a 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.
To w i n g i n t h i s m a n n e r m a y b e d o n e
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.
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
•Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is
not locked.
•Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
•Release the parking brake.
•Depress the brake pedal with more
force than nor mal as you will have
reduced braking performance.
•More steering effort will be required
because the power steering 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.
