TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service. Proper
lifting and towing procedures are nec-
essary to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle. 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 sus-
pension 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.

What to do in an emergency
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook under the front/rear of the
vehicle. Use extreme caution when
towing the vehicle. 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.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull avehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently. Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for towing may
damage the body of your vehicle.
Only use a cable or chain specifi- cally intended for use in towing vehi-
cles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing hook provided.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a verti-
cal angle. Always pull straight
ahead. Use a towing strap less than 16 feet
long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 12 inches wide) in the mid-
dle of the strap for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.

Emergency towing precautions
Place the ignition switch in ACC sothe steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Depress 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.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
If the vehicle 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.
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.
Tie-down hook
WARNING- Tie-down
hook
Do not use the tie-down hooks
for towing purposes. These
hooks are designed ONLY for
transport tie-down. If the tie-
down hooks are used for tow-
ing, the tie-down hooks or
deflector will be damaged and
this could lead to serious injury.
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limitthe vehicle speed to 10 mphand drive less than 1 milewhen towing.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transaxle for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the auto- matic transaxle fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly must be used.
