EMERGENCY TOWING
For emergency towing when no commercial
tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,
chain or strap to one of the tie-down hooks
under the front of your car. Do not attempt to
tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved
surface. This may result in serious damage to
your car.
Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive
train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.
Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neu-
tral and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off)
or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-
ning). A driver must be in the towed car to steer
it and operate the brakes.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS
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 car and you
cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai deal-
ers can use special tools to open the door for
you.

tem (if installed) will be found on page 1-2.
