What to do in an emergency
E080301AUN-EA
WARNING
Emergency towing precautions
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
•
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.
If the disabled vehicle cannot be
moved, do not forcibly continue
the towing. Contact an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer or a com-
mercial tow truck service for
assistance.
• Place the transaxle shift lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the hand 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 steering system
will be disabled.
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.
