If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake is
released.
If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the  air pressure. If the  pressure is
lower than  recommended, drive slowly to  the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure.  If it  is  too high,  adjust it  until  it is
correct.  Always  reinstall the  valve  cap  after
checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from  the tire. If you
lose a valve cap,  buy another and install it as
soon as possible.
CAUTION:
Your car  can be  damaged  if towed  incor-
rectly!
If  the  car  is  being  towed  with  the  front
wheels  on  the  ground,  be  sure  that the
transaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that the
ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is
necessary to prevent damage to the steer-
ing lock mechanism, which is not designed
to hold the front wheels straight while the car
is being towed.
If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. This  will help assure  that your car  is
not damaged in towing. Also, professionals are
generally aware of state and local laws govern-
ing towing. In any  case, rather than risk dam-
age to your car, it is  suggested that you show
this information  to the tow  truck operator. Be
sure that a safety chain system is used and that
local laws are observed.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the luggage room and
return the jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.
o
If any of  the loaded wheels or  suspension
components are  damaged, a  towing dolly
must be used.
