What to do in an emergency
•
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
• 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.
• Avoid
sudden starts or erratic
driving manoeuvres 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.
CAUTION
(Automatic Transaxle)
•
If the disabled vehicle is unable
to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
OPA067014
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be
towed only from the front. Be sure
that the transaxle is in neutral. Do
not tow at speeds greater than 40
km/h (25 mph) and for more than 25
km (15 miles). Be sure the steering
is unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes.
Before towing, check the level of
the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is
below the "HOT" range on the dip-
stick, add fluid. If you cannot add
fluid, a towing dolly must be used.
• Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5
m) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing strap
is not loosened during towing.
