EMERGENCY TOWING

Front
Rear
For emergency towing when no commercial tow
vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or
strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/
rear of your car. Do not attempt to tow your
vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface.
This may result in serious damage to your car.
Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive
train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.
Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral
and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in
the "ON" position (with the engine running). A
driver must be in the towed car to steer it and
operate the brakes.

CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all four wheels
on the ground, it can be towed only from the
front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.
Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph
(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position. A driver must
be in the towed vehicle to operate the steer-
ing and brakes.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS

D120A01A-AAT
If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers
can make you a new key if you have your key
number.
If you lock the keys inside your car and you
cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers
can use special tools to open the door for you.
