2020 Hyundai Kona towing

• Use a towing cable or chain lessthan 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 automat- ic transaxle/dual clutch transmis-
sion for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the automatic transaxle/dual
clutch transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used. 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 10mph (15km/h) and drive less
than 1 mile (1.5km) when towing
to avoid serious damage to
transmission. (if equipped with
automatic transmission) The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 15 mph (25km/h) or
less within the distance of 12
miles (20km). (if equipped with
dual clutch transmission)
