Tie-Down Hook - Hyundai KONA N 2022 Owner's Manual

Use a towing cable or chain less than
16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 12 inch (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 intelligent
variable transmission/dual clutch
transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the intelligent variable
transmission/dual clutch transmission
fluid is leaking, flatbed equipment or a
towing dolly must be used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
in a slow and gradual manner while
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing:
Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not pull
from the side or at a vertical angle.
Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
