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.

NOTICE
• Do not tow the vehicle with 4 wheels
on the ground (such as dinghy towing
behind a motorhome or other motor
vehicle) as this can seriously damage
the Transmission.

• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle and the
Transmissions.

• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

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.

Maintenance
You should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle and
injury to yourself whenever performing
any maintenance or inspection
procedures. Inadequate, incomplete
or insufficient servicing may result in
operational problems with your vehicle
that could lead to vehicle damage, an
accident, or personal injury.
Owner’s responsibility
i Information
Maintenance Service and Record
Retention are the owner’s responsibility.
We recommend in general that you have
your vehicle serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
You should retain documents that show
proper maintenance has been performed
on your vehicle in accordance with
the scheduled maintenance service
charts shown on the following pages.
You need this information to establish
your compliance with the servicing
and maintenance requirements of your
vehicle warranties.
Detailed warranty information is
provided in your Service Passport.
Repairs and adjustments required as
a result of improper maintenance or a
lack of required maintenance are not
covered when your vehicle is covered by
warranty.
Owner maintenance
precautions
Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This chapter gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
i Information
Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage. For details, read the separate
Service Passport provided with the
vehicle. If you’re unsure about any
servicing or maintenance procedure, we
recommend that the system be serviced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Maintenance work
• Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can
be seriously injured while performing
some maintenance procedures.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper tools
and equipment to do the work, we
recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Working under the hood with the
engine running is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry or loose clothing.
These can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the engine
while working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing
before getting near the engine or
cooling fans.
