Hyundai i-30: Towing / Emergency towing
■ Front
■ Rear
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer or a commercial
tow truck service.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency towing
hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:
- Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.
- Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
- Release the parking brake.
- Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as you will have
reduced braking performance.
- More steering effort will be 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 should
communicate with each other frequently.
- Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or damaged.
- Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
- Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
- Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) 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/dual clutch transmission
for fluid leaks under your vehicle.
If the automatic transmission
fluid is leaking, flatbed equipment
or a towing dolly must be used.
CAUTION
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.
- Limit the vehicle speed to
10 mph (15 km/h) and drive
less than 1 mile (1.5 km) when
towing to avoid serious damage
to the automatic transmission.
1. Open the tailgate, and remove the
towing hook from the tool case.
