What to do in an emergency
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
•
• Place the transaxle 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.
OED066029
•
If the disabled vehicle is unable
to move, do not forcibly continue
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.
•
•
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
• Drive carefully so that the towing strap
is not loosened during towing.
Keep away from the vehicle dur-
ing towing.
