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 brake.
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.
OXM069009
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.
