What to do in an emergency
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Front
CAUTION
• Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
• Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for tow-
ing may damage the body of your
vehicle.
•
Do not use the towing hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-
ditions from which the vehicle cannot
be driven out under its own power.
• Use only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the
cable or chain to the towing hook
provided.

The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other frequent-
ly.

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.

To avoid damaging the hook, do not
pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead.

Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to 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 tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
