What to do in an emergency
Tie-down hook
(for flatbed towing, if equipped)
WARNING
Do not use the tie-down hooks
under the front (or rear) of the vehi-
cle for towing purposes. These
hooks are designed ONLY for trans-
port tie-down. If the tie-down hooks
are used for towing, the tie-down
hooks or front (or rear) bumper will
be damaged and this could lead to
serious injury.
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
 If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Besure that the transaxle is in neu-tral. Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. Adriver must be in the towed vehi- cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
 To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limit thevehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less than 1.5 km (1
mile) when towing.
 Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If itis below the "HOT" range on the
dipstick, add fluid. If you cannotadd fluid, a towing dolly must beused.

Maintenance
Changing the engine oil and filter
Have the engine oil and filter changed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer accord-ing to the Maintenance Schedule at thebeginning of this section.The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at thebeginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin irri- tation or cancer if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused cancer
in laboratory animals. Always pro-
tect your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possibleafter handling used oil.
ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING - Removing
radiator cap
 Never attempt to remove the radi- ator cap while the engine is oper-
ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine
damage. Also hot coolant orsteam could cause serious per-
sonal injury.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you aresure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
 Even if the engine is not operat- ing, do not remove the radiatorcap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.
