TOWING

Towing Service

[A] : Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
For FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle using a tow truck as long as
the front wheels (which are the drive
wheels) are off the ground. The rear
wheels can be on the ground without the
use of dollies.
For AWD vehicles, all wheels must be off
the ground. Therefore, a flat bed trailer is
recommended.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
A
ground.

NOTICE
Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting
or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
