(80 km/h). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pull
off of the side of the road.

Pressure
1. After driving approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or about
10 minutes), stop at a safe loca-
tion.

5. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle ON ( indica-
tor ON), proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres-
sure :Switch on the compressor.
To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres-
sure:Press the button (9) on the
compressor.
Information
The pressure gauge 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.
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 79~94
lbf·ft (11~13kgf·m).

NOTICE
i
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit
including sealant not approved by
HYUNDAI, the tire pressure sen-
sors may be damaged 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 pressure sensors at an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 32 psi (220 kPa). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or
towing.

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. While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position
and turn the vehicle off. The
POWER button will be in the ACC
position.
2. Release the parking brake.
Failure to shift to N (Neutral) may
cause internal damage to the vehi-
cle.
Flat Towing is Not
Recommended
Your vehicle is not designed to be
flat-towed behind a motor home. To
avoid serious damage to your vehi-
cle, do not flat-tow your vehicle.
Removable Towing Hook
1. Open the liftgate, and remove the
towing hook from the tool case.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is equipped with
a rollover sensor, place the
POWER button in the 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.

2. Remove the hole cover by press-
ing the lower part of the cover on
the front or rear 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 (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.

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

What to do in an emergency
6
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position and
turn the vehicle off. The POWER
button will be in the ACC position.
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 towing.
Before towing, check the reduction
gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear 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
10 mph (15 km/h) and drive less
than 1 mile (1.5 km) when towing
to avoid serious damage to the
reduction gear.
