What to do in an emergency
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service
do it for you.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling
the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully
when handling a battery.Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials
away from the battery.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)Hydrogen is alwayspresent in battery cells,
is highly combustible,
and may explode if ignit-ed.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid which is highly
corrosive. Do not allow
acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately. (Continued)(Continued)
•When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
NEVER attempt to recharge
the battery when the vehicle's
battery cables are connected
to the battery.
The electrical ignition switch
works with high voltage.
NEVER touch these compo-
nents with the " " indicator
ON or when the POWER but-ton is in the ON position.

8. Switch off the compressor.
9. Detach the hoses from the sealantbottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
10. Immediately drive approximately 7 ~ 10 km (4 ~ 6 miles or about
10 minutes) to evenly distribute
the sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pulloff of the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit, the tire pressure sensors and wheel
may be damaged by sealant, have it
inspected at an authorized dealer.
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 200 kpa (29 psi). Thiscould result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.

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 dolliesor 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 loadedwheels 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.

Do not tow the vehicle with
the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift orflatbed equipment.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies:
1. While depressing the brake pedalshift to the N (Neutral) position
and turn the vehicle off. The
POWER button will be in the ACCposition.
2. Release the parking brake.
Failure to shift to N (Neutral) may
cause internal damage to the vehi-
cle.
Removable Towing Hook
1. Open the tailgate, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
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 isfully secured.
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.
NOTICE

a rollover sensor, place the
POWER button in the OFF or
ACC position when the vehicle
is being towed. The side impact

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.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be ingood condition.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 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach awhite or red cloth (about 30 cm (12inch) 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 reduction gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
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
Accelerate or decelerate the vehi-
cle in a slow and gradual mannerwhile 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 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less
than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing
to avoid serious damage to the
reduction gear.
