WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
13IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYSEMERGENCY TOWING
D080D04A-AAT
For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of thetowing hooks under the front / rear of your vehicle. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpavedsurface. This could result in serious damage to your vehicle. Nor should towing be attempted if thewheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral andthe key is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towedvehicle to steer it and operate the brakes. HXD370
D120A01A-GAT If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your key number. If you lock the keys inside your vehicle and you can-not obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers can use special tools to open the door for you. Information about the key of immobi- lizer system (If installed) will be foundon page 1-5.
!
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is be- low the "HOT" range on the dipstick,add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.
CAUTION:
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 50 km/h (30 mph) and for more than 25 km (15miles). Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" posi-tion. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steering and brakes.

31CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
G200A01A-AAT
Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over-loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the systemdrawing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause, repair the sys-tem and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easy inspection. Good

Replacing Accessory Fuses
HXDFL200
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never
use anything but a new fusible link with the same or lower amper- age rating. Never use a piece ofwire or a higher-rated fusible link. This could result in serious dam- age and create a fire hazard.
! The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found inthe backside of multi box located in the left side of the driver. On the backside of the multi box, you will finda list showing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or other electrical accessories stop working, a blown fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you will see thatthe metal strip inside the fuse has burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the fusebox to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses
even if you find one that appears tohave burned out.
