WARNING
Carbon monoxide
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
11. Immediately drive approximately
4~6miles (7~10km or, about 10 mins)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tyre.
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).
Whilst driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the
vehicle on the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tyre Mobility Kit, the
tyre pressure valve and wheel may be
damaged by sealant, remove the sealant
stained. We recommend that the tyre
pressure valve and wheel be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 4 ~6miles
(7~10km or about 10min), stop at a
safety location.
2. Connect connection hose (10) of the
compressor directly to the tyre valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into
the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to
the recommended tyre inflation.
With the ignition switched on, proceed
as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure :
Switch on the compressor, position
I. To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
i Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tyre pressure,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
NOTICE
- Tyre pressure valve
We recommend that you use the
sealant of tyre mobility kit from a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer. The
sealant on the tyre pressure valve and
wheel should be removed when you
replace the tyre with a new one and
we recommend that the tyre pressure
valve be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Emergency situations
Towing service
OBC3080014
[A] : Dolly
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer 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.
OBC3080015

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

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) may cause internal damage to
the transmission.
Removable towing hook
OBC3080017
1. Open the tailgate, and remove the
towing hook from the tool case.

OBC3080020
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer 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:

[Place the ignition switch 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.

OBC3080021

[Use a towing cable or chain less than 5
m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30cm (12 inches) in width)
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/dual clutch 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 whilst
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:

Emergency situations
Your vehicle is equipped with
emergency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know how
to use the fire extinguisher, follow these
steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of
the extinguisher that keeps the handle
from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of
the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away
from the fire and squeeze the handle
to discharge the extinguisher. If you
release the handle, the discharge will
stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at
the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid such
as scissors, bandage and adhesive tape,
etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the road
to warn oncoming vehicles during
emergencies, when the vehicle is parked
by the roadside due to problems.
Tyre pressure gauge
Tyres normally lose some air in day-to-
day use, and you may have to add a air
periodically and usually it is not a sign
of a leaking tyre, but of normal wear.
Always check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold because tyre pressure
increases with temperature.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that is
located on the rim of the tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the
tyre valve. Some air will leak as you
begin and more will leak if you don’t
press the gauge firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the gauge
to see whether the tyre pressure is
low or high.
5. Adjust the tyre pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres and
Wheels” in chapter 2.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
