Towing and Jump Starting
Towing:
The Sonata Hybrid is no different from a conventionally powered gasoline engine vehicle with regard to
towing. If emergency towing is necessary, Hyundai recommends having it done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer or a professional tow-truck service. Proper lifting and towing procedures are necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle. Because the vehicle has a front wheel drive powertrain, using a flatbed or wheel
dollies is recommended, specific towing guidelines are described below.
A. Towing via flatbed is the recommended
method for transporting a Sonata Hybrid.
B. If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle is
being towed with the rear wheels off the
ground, use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
C. The vehicle can be towed with the front
wheels supported by the lifting equipment in
most cases that do not involve damage to
wheel, tire, or suspension components.
CAUTION!
•
Towing with sling-type equipment or
with the front wheels on the ground
are not correct methods for towing
this vehicle.
•
To prevent damage to the vehicle
always use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
•
Failure to use the proper towing
methods will cause damage to the
vehicle.
