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 working 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:
• Press the Engine Start/Stop button to the ACC position so the steering wheel is not locked.
• Shift the gear to N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal 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 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.

• Use a towing cable or chain less than 16 ft. (5 m) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 12 in. (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 towing.
• Before towing, check the automatic transmission for fluid leaks under your vehicle. If the automatic 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.
• 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 automatic transmission.

Follow Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of
the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, you must follow
the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.
• Repeated driving short distance of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature or
less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature
• Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances
• Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread roads
• Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather
• Driving in heavy dust conditions
• Driving in heavy traffic area
• Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly
• Towing a trailer or using a camper, or driving with loads on the roof
• Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing
• Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration
• Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition
• Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace or
refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the periods
or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.
NOTICE
After 10 years or 100,000 miles, we recommend to use severe maintenance schedule.
Information
• As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be
checked on regular basis.
• The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the
recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then
replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.
• The vehicle may be equipped with the Engine Oil Change Reminder that predicts engine oil life
based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.
-If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving severity,
the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the normal engine oil
replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded product.
-Engine Oil Change Reminder works when the recommended engine oil is used. So, if
recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the maintenance
schedule under severe usage condition.
Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is
being filled normally.
-Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed. Otherwise, the
Engine Oil Change Reminder will not be correct.
To reset the Engine Oil Change Reminder, select ‘RESET’ from the infotainment system
screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Changed engine oil? Press [Yes] to reset the oil
life.” appears on the screen.
-If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded product.
