What to do in an emergency
Checking the tire inflation pres-sure
1. After driving approximately
4~6 miles (7~10 km or about
10 minutes), stop at a safe loca-
tion.
2. Connect hose (9) of the compres- sor directly to the tire valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet. 4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the recommended tire inflation.
With the ignition switched on, pro- ceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure:
Switch on the compressor. To
check the current inflation pres-
sure setting, briefly switch off the
compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres- sure:
Loosen the screw cap (8) on the
compressor hose.
Information
The pressure gage may show higher
than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire pressure, the compressor needs to
be turned off.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 79~94
lbf·ft (1 1~13kgf·m).

When you use the Tire Mobility
Kit including sealant not
approved by HYUNDAI, the tire
pressure sensors may be dam-
aged by sealant. The sealant on
the tire pressure sensor and
wheel should be removed when
you replace the tire with a new
one and inspect the tire pres-
sure sensors at an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

What to do in an emergency
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 dollies
or 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 loaded
wheels 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.

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.Dinghy Towing
Your vehicle is not designed to be
dinghy towed (with 4 wheels on the
ground) behind a motor home. To
avoid serious damage to your vehi-
cle, do not tow your vehicle with four
wheels on the ground.
If your vehicle is equipped with
a rollover sensor, place the igni-
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF or
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.
WARNING
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 transmission.

What to do in an emergency
Removable Towing Hook
1. Open the trunk, and remove thetowing hook from the tool case. 2. Remove the hole cover pressing
the lower part of the cover on the
front 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 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 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. (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 less
than 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 tow-
ing.
Before towing, check the Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT)/dual
clutch transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the Intelligent
Variable Transmission (IVT)/dual
clutch transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
OAD068042N
The driver must be in the vehi-
cle for steering and braking
operations when the vehicle is
being towed. Passengers other
than the driver must not be in
the vehicle.
CAUTION

6-40
Accelerate or decelerate the vehi-
cle in a slow and gradual manner
while maintaining tension on the
tow rope or chain to start or drive
the vehicle, otherwise tow hooks
and the vehicle may be damaged.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 damage to the
Intelligent Variable Transmission
(IVT)/dual clutch transmission.
