Emergency towing

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial 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
under the front of the vehicle. Use
extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it
and operate the brakes.

CAUTION

Failure to place the transaxle shift
lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter-
nal damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION

• Do not tow the vehicle backwards

with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-type equip-

ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
