Changing tires
WARNING
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack
causing serious injury or death to you or
those nearby. Take the following safety
precautions:
Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
NEVER attempt to change a tire in
the lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the
vehicle completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from traffic
before trying to change a tire. If you
cannot find a level, firm place off
the road, call a towing service for
assistance.
Be sure to use the jack provided with
the vehicle.
ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions on the
vehicle and NEVER on the bumpers
or any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
Do not start or run the engine while
the vehicle is on the jack.
Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
Keep children away from the road
and the vehicle.
Follow these steps to change your
vehicle’s tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher
button.
4. Remove the wheel lug wrench, jack,
jack handle, and spare tire from the
vehicle.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 200 kpa (29
psi). This could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
8.
Switch off the compressor.
9.
Detach the hoses from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not leave your vehicle running in
a poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time. Carbon monoxide
poisoning and suffocation can occur.
Distributing the sealant
OLMF064106
10.
Immediately drive approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or about 10 minutes)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (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.
Call for road side service or towing.

Information
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a second
time, refer to Distributing the sealant.
Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tire damage larger than approximately
0.16 inch (4 mm).
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
if the tire cannot be made roadworthy
with the Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must be
inflated to the proper pressure (Refer to
“Tire and Wheels” section in chapter 2).
If it is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Tire pressure sensor
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. We
recommend that you get this done at an
authorized dealer.

TOWING
Towing service
OOS067007L
[A] : Dollies
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.
For 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the front wheels on the
ground (without dollies) and the rear
wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the rear of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the front.
For 4WD vehicles, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
NOTICE
Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting
or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OOS067022
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

Emergency situations
8-34
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACC position
when the vehicle is being towed.
The side impact and curtain air bag
may deploy if the sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the shift lever in N
(Neutral) when being towed with the
front wheels on the ground can cause
internal damage to the transmission.

Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If a 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. (if equipped)
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.

Emergency situations
8-36
OOS067027
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 intelligent
variable transmission/dual clutch
transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the intelligent variable
transmission/dual clutch 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 transmission. (if
equipped with intelligent variable
transmission)
The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 15 mph (25km/h) or less
within the distance of 12 miles
(20km). (if equipped with dual clutch
transmission)
Tie-down Hook
WARNING
Do not use the tie-down hook(s) for
towing purposes. If the tie-down
hook(s) are used for towing, the
tie-down hook(s) or bumper will be
damaged and this could lead to serious
injury.
