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.
OFD067012
Rear
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the
vehicle doing the towing.
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.
OFD067010
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 an  authorized
HYUNDAI dealer 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.
