When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle: • Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 420
kPa (60 psi).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the lug nut torque must be set correctly.
The correct lug nut tightening torque is
11~13 kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft).
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle: • Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 25
mm (1 inch).
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
• Do not suddenly accelerate or
decelerate 0 ↔ 40 km/h (0 ↔ 25
mph) in any driving mode. It may
cause leakage of transfer oil.

Towing Service
OCN7H080001
If emergency towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the front wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OCN7H080005
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
OCN7H080003
• Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if
it is the vehicle equipped with IVT.
Otherwise, the transmission will be
seriously damaged. Also, make sure
not to tow the vehicle connecting it
with other vehicles including camper
vans.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACC position
when the vehicle is being towed. The side impact and curtain air bag
may deploy if the sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
OCN7H080004
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ACC position.
2. Place the shift button in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the shift button in N
(Neutral) when being towed with the
front wheels on the ground can cause
internal damage to the transmission.
Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, have it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.

OCN7H070004
If towing is necessary, have it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
at the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle with a cable or chain. 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
distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.

8-25
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions: • Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.
• Place the shift button in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced braking performance.
• More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your own to
tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other
frequently.
• Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
5m
OCN7H080006
• Use a towing cable or chain less than
5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the cable or
chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable or
chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the Dual clutch
transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the Dual clutch
transmission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must be used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
in a slow and gradual manner while
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.

Emergency Situations
8-26
NOTICE
To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing: • Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not pull
from the side or at a vertical angle.
• Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Limit the vehicle speed to 15 km/h
(10 mph) and drive less than 1.5 km (1
mile) when towing to avoid serious
damage to the for Dual clutch
transmission.
• The Dual clutch transmission vehicle
can be towed to a normal vehicle
only without oil leakage. Check
for oil leaks. Towing the vehicle
with oil leakage may damage the
transmission.
