If towing is necessary, we recommend
you 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
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing 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.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
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 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
frequently.
• Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.

Emergency situations

• Use a towing cable or chain less than 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 Automated
manual transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the Automated
manual transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
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.
NOTICE
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.
• The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) or less
within the distance of 20 km (12
miles). (for Manual transmission/
Automated manual transmission
vehicle)
• The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 15 km/h (10 mph) or less
within the distance of 1.5 km (1
mile). (for Dual clutch transmission/
Intelligent variable transmission
vehicle)
