Notes on the Safe Use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the Tire
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.
• To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you’re on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.
• Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car tires.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the tire mobility kit.
• Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.
• When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
• Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be effective for tire damage larger than
approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).
• Please contact the nearest HYUNDAI dealership if the tire cannot be made
roadworthy with the Tire Mobility Kit.
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire is severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure.
• Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery. • Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit
unattended while it is being used.
• Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it
may overheat.
• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -22°F
(-30°C).
• In case of skin contact with the sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
• In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least 15
minutes. If the irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
• In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give anything
to an unconscious person and seek
medical attention immediately.
• Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.

TOWING
Towing Service
OCN7N081095LOCN7N081095LIf emergency towing is necessary, have 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.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OCN7N081097LOCN7N081097L
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
OCN7N081096LOCN7N081096L
• Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if
it is the vehicle equipped with dual
clutch transmission.
Otherwise, the transmission will be
seriously damaged. Also, make sure
not to tow the vehicle connecting it
with other vehicles including camper
vans.

If towing is necessary, 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:
• Set the Engine Start/Stop button 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.
