8. Emergency Situations

Emergency Situations8-4
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing. If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you feel
pain or a burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.

[
When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.

[ Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.

[ NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.

[ The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
NEVER touch these components
with the engine running or when the
ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.

Removing and Storing the Spare
Tire

Your spare tire is stored underneath your
vehicle, directly below the cargo area.
To remove the spare tire:
1. Open the liftgate.

blade screwdriver.

3. Connect the socket A and wheel lug
nut wrench B.
4. Loosen the bolt enough to lower the spare tire.
Turn the wrench counterclockwise
until the spare tire reaches the
ground.
5. After the spare tire reaches the ground, continue to turn the wrench
counterclockwise, and draw the spare
tire outside. Never rotate the wrench
excessively, otherwise the spare tire
carrier may be damaged.

Towing Service
B0412EU01
B0412EU02
M: Dollies
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
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
On 2WD vehicles, 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.
If your vehicle is an 4WD vehicle, it must
be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or
flatbed equipment with all the wheels off
the ground.
NOTICE

[Do not lift the vehicle by the tow
fitting or body and chassis parts.
Otherwise the vehicle may be
damaged.

[ A 4WD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission or the
4WD system.
TOWING

Emergency Situations8-22
CAUTION

[ Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
B0412EU03

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
B0412EU04
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, place the ignition
switch or press Engine Start/Stop
button 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.
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Release EPB before turning off the
engine.
2. Place the ignition switch or press the ignition switch to ON/OFF position.
3. Change the gear to N (Neutral) while pressing the brake pedal. For
more details, refer to “Automatic
Transmission” section in chapter 6.
4. Place the ignition switch to the ACC position.
CAUTION
Failure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
may cause internal damage to the
transmission.

Emergency Situations8-24
Emergency Towing
B0414KO01
A: Front
B0414KO02
B: Rear
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 working
condition.
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 or press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.

[ Shift the gear to N (Neutral).

[ Release the parking brake.

[ Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as 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.
