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.
WARNING
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.
Hydrogen is always present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric 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 immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you feel
pain or a burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
• 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 system works
with high voltage.
NEVER touch these componentswith
the engine running or when
theEngine Start/Stop button is in
the ONposition or when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.

To store the spare tire :
ONX4OB081010ONX4OB081010
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
2. Place the wheel under the vehicle
and install the retainer (1) through the
wheel center.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it
clicks.
WARNING
Ensure the spare tire retainer is properly
aligned with the center of the spare tire
to prevent the spare tire from rattling.
Otherwise, it may cause the spare tire
to fall off the carrier and lead to an
accident.
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.

TOWING
Towing Service
A
ONX4OB081016ONX4OB081016[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 FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle using a tow truck as long as
the front wheels (which are the drive
wheels) are off the ground. The rear
wheels can be on the ground without the
use of dollies.
For AWD vehicles, all wheels must be off
the ground. Therefore, a flat bed trailer is
recommended.
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 front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
For AWD 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 front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
ONX4OB081017ONX4OB081017
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Release EPB before turning off the
engine.
2. Place the ignition switch to the OFF
position.
3. Change the gear to N (Neutral) while
pressing the brake pedal.
4. Place the ignition switch to the ACC

CAUTION
Failure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
may cause internal damage to the
transmission.
