If Your Vehicle Must Be Towed; First Aid Kit; Tire Pressure Gauge - Hyundai Accent 2010 Owner's Manual

First Aid Kit

The first aid kit is located in the trunk.
There are some items such as scis-
sors, bandage and adhesive tape and
etc. in the kit to give first aid to an
injured person.

Tire Pressure Gauge

(If Installed)
You can easily check the tire pressure
with a tire pressure gauge that is found
in OVM tool bag. Tires normally lose
some air in day-to-day use, and you
may have to add a few pounds of air
periodically and it is not usually a sign
of a leaking tire, but of normal wear.
Always check tire pressure when the
tires are cold because tire pressure
increases with temperature.
To check the tire pressure, take the
following steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that
is located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the
tire valve. Some air will escape as
you begin and more will escape if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge
to know whether the tire pressure is
low or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speci-
fied pressure. See page 3-5.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE
TOWED
D080A01O-GAT
If your vehicle has to be towed, it should
be done by your Hyundai dealer or a
commercial tow truck service. This will
help assure that your vehicle is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals
are generally aware of local laws gov-
erning towing. In any case, rather than
risk damage to your car, it is suggested
that you show this information to the
tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety
chain system is used and that all local
laws are observed.
It is recommended that your vehicle be
towed with a wheel lift and dollies or
flatbed equipment with all the wheels
off the ground.
!
CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if
towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by
placing the key in the "ACC" posi-
tion.
