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.
