If the disabled vehicle can not
be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or
a commercial tow truck serv-
ice for assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.
• 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.

Release the parking bake.
Press the brake pedal with more

• Before towing, check the level
of the automatic transmission
fluid. If it is below the "HOT"
range on the dipstick, add fluid.
If you cannot add fluid, a tow-
ing dolly must be used.
