2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

What to do in an emergency
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.
Use  extreme  caution  when  towing  the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may  be done only
on  hard-surfaced roads  for a  short  dis-
tance and at low speed. Also, the wheels,
axles,  power train,  steering  and brakes
must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
•  Attach  a towing  strap to  the tow
hook.
Using  a   portion  of   the  vehicle
other than the tow hooks  for tow-
ing may damage the body of your
vehicle.
WARNING
Use  extreme caution  when  towing
the vehicle.
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.
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.
If  the disabled  vehicle  is unable
to move, do not forcibly  continue
the  towing. We  recommend  that
Do not use the tow hooks to pull a vehi-
cle  out of  mud,  sand or  other  condi-
tions from which the vehicle cannot  be
driven out under its own power.
Before emergency towing, check  if the
hook is not broken or damaged.
Fasten   the   towing   cable   or  chain
securely to the hook.
Do not  jerk the hook.  Apply it steadily
and with even force.
•  To  avoid  damaging the  hook,  do  not
pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead.
you
contact
an
authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a  commercial
tow truck service for assistance.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the
vehicle doing the towing.
The  drivers  of   both  vehicles  should
communicate with each other frequent-
ly.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
Keep away  from the  vehicle dur-
ing towing.
