What to do in an emergency
CAUTION
Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
•
•
Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for tow-
ing may damage the body of your
vehicle.
•
•
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.
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 only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely
fasten the
cable or chain to the towing hook
provided.

middle of the strap for easy visibility.

Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.

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