What to do in an emergency
Emergency towing precautions
Place the engine start/stop button in
ACC so the steering wheel isn’t locked.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
•
• Place the transmission shift lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the parking bake.
•
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.
•
•
•
Press the brake pedal with more force
than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.

•
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.
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.
• 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.
