Roadside Assistance 

25 

In the event of an accident, the high voltage system must be disabled. To disable the vehicle, 

the service plug must be removed from the high voltage battery according to one of the 

methods described in sections of 17 to 21. 

Towing 

When towing Sonata Plug-in Hybrid vehicle, 

all wheels should be off the ground and not in 

contact with the road. 

If emergency towing is necessary, we 

recommend having it done by an authorized 

Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow-truck 

service. 

The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is 

recommended. 

 

Do not tow the vehicle backwards with the 

front wheels on the ground as this may 

cause damage to the vehicle. 

Do not tow with sling-type equipment. 

    Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment. 

Never tow the vehicle with the front 

wheels on the ground (forward or 

backward), as this may cause damage to 

the vehicle. 

CAUTION!
