What to do in an emergency

246

• 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.

• To avoid damaging the hook, do not

pull from the side or at a vertical angle.

Always pull straight ahead.

• Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5

m) long. Attach a white or red cloth

(about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the

middle of the strap for easy visibility.

• Drive carefully so that the towing strap

is not loosened during towing.

✽✽

NOTICE

Emergency towing is not legal in all

states. Contact an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer and tow the vehicle.

CAUTION

• Attach a towing strap to the tow

hook.

• Using a portion of the vehicle

other than the tow hooks for tow-

ing may damage the body of your

vehicle.

• Use only a cable or chain specifi-

cally intended for use in towing

vehicles. Securely fasten the

cable or chain to the towing hook

provided.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when towing

the vehicle.

• Avoid sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which would

place excessive stress on the

emergency towing hook and tow-

ing cable or chain. The hook and

towing cable or chain may break

and cause serious injury or dam-

age.

• If the disabled vehicle cannot be

moved, do not forcibly continue

the towing. Contact an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial

tow truck service for assistance.

• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead

as possible.

• Keep away from the vehicle dur-

ing towing.
