If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an autho-
rized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing
hook at the front (or rear) of the vehi-
cle.
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 condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle
for steering and braking opera -
tions when the vehicle is being
towed. Passengers other than the
driver must not be in the vehicle.
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
• Place the ignition switch in the
ACC position so the steering wheel
is not locked.
• Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
•
Release the parking brake.
•
Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perfor-
mance.
•
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering sys-
tem will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your
own to tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently.
•
Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
•
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
