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:
[
Set the Engine Start/Stop button 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.

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, have it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS
follow these precautions for performing
maintenance work:
[ Park your vehicle on level ground.
Shift the vehicle to P (Park), apply
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the 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.
WARNING
Touching metal parts
Do not touch metal parts (including
strut bars) while the engine is operating
or hot. Doing so could result in serious
personal injury. Turn the engine off and
wait until the metal parts cool down
to perform maintenance work on the
vehicle. 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
