tow Hyundai Getz 2004 Repair Manual

3- 12 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
!
CAUTION:
The following restriction must be
observed in order to avoid serious
damage to the transaxle .
The vehicle must never be towed
from the rear with the front wheels
on the ground.
The vehicle must not be towed until
transaxle fluid has been added to
bring the level up to the "HOT"
marking on the dipstick. (The level
will need to be reduced again after
towing).
The vehicle must not be towed at
speeds faster than 25 mph. or dis-
tances greater than fifty miles. The
general points regarding the steer-
ing lock etc. described in the pre-
ceding section (Manual transaxle
vehicle) should be observed.
SD100A3-E
Automatic Transaxle Vehicle
The vehicle may be towed by the con-
ventional method using the towing eye
at the front of the vehicle as an attach-
ment point.
In addition, a suspended tow may be
given to the front of the vehicle without
a towing dolly. In the event of a sus-
pended tow being given to the rear of
the vehicle, the use of a towing dolly is
imperative.
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE HTB209
In addition, the following points
must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means,
the ignition key must be at the "ACC"
position, otherwise the steering lock
will be activated.
o Because the brake system and
steering system power assistance
is derived from the engine, the
amount of effort required to stop or
steer the vehicle will be greater than
normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to
the rear, the ignition key must be at
the "ACC" position since the steer-
ing lock is not designed to withstand
the force required to hold the front
wheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with
the front wheels on the ground for
more than thirty miles.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS
Information about the key of immobi-
lizer system will be found on page 1-4.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 neu-
tral. Do not tow at speeds greater
than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for more
than 15 miles(25 km).
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.
!
(3)Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to
the towing hook on the front bumper.
D080D02TB-AAT
EMERGENCY TOWING For emergency towing when no com-
mercial tow vehicle is available. Do not
attempt to tow your vehicle in this
manner on any unpaved surface. This
could result in serious damage to your
car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing,
be sure the transaxle is in neutral and
the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)
or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed
car to steer it and operate the brakes.
(1)Open the towing cover to push it
with your finger.
(2)To mount the towing hook, rotate it clockwise.
HTB196
HTB211 CAUTION
It should be tightened firmly with
your fingers until there is no more
play in the towing hole. Towing
hook is located in the jack case on
the spare tyre.

MENT
G060A01L
0.039 ~ 0.043 in.
(1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )
This operation should only be performed
when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the centre cover from the engine rocker cover.
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking plug to be replaced, pulling the lead
by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead
may damage the carbon conductor).
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be removed, and install the plug
socket ensuring that the ceramic
insulator does not become damaged.
Turn the socket counterclockwise to
remove the plug. CAUTION:
Sparking plugs must only be cleaned
using purpose designed equipment.
Wire brushing may damage the cen-
tre electrodein-sulator causing mis-
firing to occur. Only the correct grade
of sparking plug should be used.
Use of an incorrect grade may result
in serious engine damage.
Prior to installing a sparking plug, the
gap between the centre and outer elec-
trodes must be checked and adjusted
as necessary.
Adjustment is facilitated by bending the
outer electrode towards or away from
the centre electrode. Under no circum-
stances should attempts be made to
adjust the position of the centre elec-
trode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cyl- inder head and screw by the wrench
and until the plug contacts the seat-
ing area. Tighten the plug with the
socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn
only. 5. Replace the plug lead ensuring that
the cap is pushed firmly into place.
Confirm that the cap is correctly
seated by lightly pulling upon it.
NOTE:
When replacing the spark plug, al-
ways use the genuine parts recom-
mended.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7- 3
H020A01TB-EAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OP- ERATION PRECAUTIONS ; For a Petrol engine
Hyundai Getz models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require special operating considerations. Thecatalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex- haust gases leaving the engine toreduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage,the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle.
It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un-derstood by the vehicle operator in
HTB178Catalytic Converter order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle,it is possible that the use of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata-lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve- hicle is immediately presented to aHyundai dealer for rectification. Simi- larly, the practice of certain ignition system diagnosis procedures whichinvolve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) may result in catalyst damage.
For these reasons, it is advisable that
the exhaust gas emission be testedat each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea- suring facility to ensure continuedreliability of the catalyst. Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel may be enter the catalyst and result indamage. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since thefuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involvesextremely high temperatures beingattained within the catalytic conver- tor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is importantthat the vehicle is not parked over combustible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam- age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid driving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata-lyst element.
