WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

21

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS

D120A01CM-AAT

If you lose your keys, many Hyundai deal-
ers 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 dealers can use special
tools to open the door for you.

Information about immobilizer keys (if in-
stalled) will be found on page 1-4.

!

CAUTION:

If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. If your vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transaxle,
do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph
(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25
km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the key in the "ACC" position. A
driver must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes.

(3)Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to the

towing hook on the rear bumper.

NOTE:

o To avoid serious damage to your AWD

vehicle, limit the towing to 10 mph (15
km/h) and not for more than 1 mile (1.5
km) at ANY TIME.

o Before towing, check the level of the

automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below
the 75°C range on the dipstick, add
fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing
dolly must be used.

CAUTION:

If the Engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will
not work so steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.
