What to do in an emergency
Emergency towing precautions
WARNING
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
•
Place the engine start/stop button
in 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 towing cable or
chain. The hook and towing
cable or chain may break and
cause serious injury or dam-
age.
If the disabled vehicle is
unable to be moved, do not
forcibly continue the towing.
We recommend that you con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or a commercial tow
truck service for assistance.
• Place the transmission shift lever in
N (Neutral).
•
•
Release the parking brake.
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 steer-
ing system will be disabled.
•
•
Use a towing strap less than 5 m
(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
•
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) • If you are driving down a long hill,
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during tow-
ing.
the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
•
•
Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.
