What to do in an emergency
•
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
• If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
•
Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
CAUTION - Automatic
transmission
•
If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Do not tow at speeds
greater than 40 km/h (25 mph)
and for more than 25 km (15
miles). Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehi-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.

•
If the disabled vehicle is unable
to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
• Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16
feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing strap
is not loosened during towing.
•
•
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle dur-
ing towing.

Emergency towing precautions
Place the ignition switch in ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
•
•
Before towing, check the auto-
matic transmission fluid leak
under your vehicle. If the auto-
matic transaxle fluid is leaking, a
flatbed equipment or towing dolly
must be used.
•
Place the transmission shift lever in N
(Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
•
•
Press the brake pedal with more force
than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
