What to do in an emergency
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
or flatbed is recommended.On 4WD vehicles, your vehicle must
be towed with a wheel lift and dollies
or flatbed equipment with all the
wheels off the ground.
On 2WD vehicles, 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 loaded wheels or sus-
pension 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.

•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 wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
CAUTION

The 4WD vehicle should never
be towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transaxle or the
4WD system.

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 pressingthe lower part of the cover on the
front bumper.
3. Install the towing hook by turning it clockwise into the hole until it is

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

ACC position when the vehicle
is being towed. The side impact
and curtain air bag may deploy
if the sensor detects the situa-
tion as a rollover.

What to do in an emergency
Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer 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 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 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 normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
• 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.

• Use a towing cable or chain lessthan 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) 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/dual clutch transmission
for fluid leaks under your vehicle. If
the automatic transaxle fluid is
leaking, flatbed equipment or a
towing dolly must be used. 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 drive
less than 1 mile (1.5 km) when
towing to avoid serious dam-
age to the automatic transaxle.

What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle is equipped with emer-
gency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, follow
these steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the han-
dle from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin-
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid
such as scissors, bandage and
adhesive tape, etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur-
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to problems.
Tyre pressure gauge
(if equipped)
Tyres normally lose some air in day-
to-day use, and you may have to add
a air periodically and usually it is not
a sign of a leaking tyre, but of normal
wear. Always check tyre pressure
when the tyres are cold because tyre
pressure increases with temperature. To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tyre valve. Some air will leak as
you begin and more will leak if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti- vate the gauge.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the gauge to see whether the tyre pres-
sure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tyre pressure to the specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres
and Wheels” in chapter 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
