What to do in an emergency
F080301AEN
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
•
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.
• Place the transaxle shift lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the parking bake.
•
•
•
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.
OEN066014
•
If the disabled vehicle cannot be
moved, do not forcibly continue
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.
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.
•
•
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.
