If emergency towing is necessary, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow-truck service.

If tow-truck service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle can be temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the removable towing hook at the front (or rear) of the vehicle.

Perform emergency towing using cables or chains on hard-surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds. The wheels, axles, powertrain, steering, and brakes must all be in good working condition.

Always follow these emergency towing precautions:

• Press the Engine Start/Stop button to the ACC position so the steering wheel is not locked.

• Shift the gear in N (Neutral).

• Release the parking brake.

• Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal because you have reduced braking performance.

• More steering effort is required because the power steering system will be disabled.

• Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.

• The drivers of both vehicles must communicate with each other frequently.

• Before emergency towing, check that the removable hook is not broken or damaged.

• Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.

• Do not jerk the cables, chains, or removable hook. Apply steady and even force.

• Use a towing cable or chain less than 16 ft. (5 m) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the middle of the cable or chain for easy visibility.

• Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.

• Before towing, check the Automatic Transmission, and Intelligent Variable Transmission for fluid leaks under your vehicle. If the transmission fluid is leaking, flatbed equipment or a towing dolly must be used.
