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. 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.
• To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)
and drive less than 1.5 km (1
mile) when towing.

Emergency towing precautions
Place the ignition switch in ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
•
•
Place the transmission shift lever in N
(Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
•
Before towing, check the level of
the automatic transmission fluid.
If it is below the "HOT" range on
the dipstick, add fluid. If you can-
not add fluid, a towing dolly must
be used.
•
•
Press the brake pedal with more force
than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
