Emergency Towing
„Front
OTM080017
„Rear
OTM080018
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.

[ Place the shift button in N (Neutral).

[ Release the parking brake.

[ Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as 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
8-24
OTMH080010

[ Use a towing cable or chain less than
5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
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 automatic
transmission for fluid leaks under your
vehicle. If the automatic 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 15 km/h
(10 mph) and drive less than 1.5
km (1 mile) when towing to avoid
serious damage to the automatic
transmission.

Maintenance
9-4
You should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle and
injury to yourself whenever performing
any maintenance or inspection
procedures.
We recommend you have your
vehicle maintained and repaired by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. An
authorized HYUNDAI dealer meets
HYUNDAI’s high service quality
standards and receives technical support
from HYUNDAI in order to provide you
with a high level of service satisfaction.
Owner’s Responsibility
Maintenance service and record
retention are the owner’s responsibility.
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.
Owner Maintenance Precautions
Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient
servicing may result in operational
problems with your vehicle that could
lead to vehicle damage, an accident, or
personal injury. This chapter provides
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
Your vehicle should not be modified
in any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance, safety
or durability of your vehicle and may, in
addition, violate conditions of the limited
warranties covering the vehicle.
NOTICE
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
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. If you lack
sufficient knowledge and experience or
the proper tools and equipment to do
the work, we recommend that having it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
ALWAYS follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:
[ Park your vehicle on level ground,
move the shift button into the P
(Park) position, apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition switch
in the LOCK/OFF position.

[ Block the tires (front and back) to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry
that can become entangled in
moving parts.

[ If you must run the engine during
maintenance, do so out doors or in
an area with plenty of ventilation.

[ Keep flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery and
fuel-related parts. The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed
by the owner or an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer at the frequencies indicated to
help ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:
[
Check the engine oil level.

[ Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.

[ Check the windshield washer fluid
level.

[ Check for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your engine
coolant/inverter coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in coolant
being blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns and other injuries.
