If necessary, your vehicle must be towed by a local Hyundai dealer or a dedicated towing service. This ensures the vehicle is not damaged during towing. In addition, professional towing services are usually familiar with local towing laws. But in all cases, in order to eliminate the risk of damage to the car, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with these instructions with the tow truck operator. Make sure that the vehicle being towed is secured with a safety chain.
Towing a car with a manual transmission
When towing a vehicle with the front wheels off, check that the parking brake is off. When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels off the ground, place the shift lever in neutral and the ignition key in «ACC» («Auxiliary equipment»). This is to prevent damage to the steering lock mechanism, which is not designed to hold the front wheels in a straight-ahead position when towing.
If one of the loaded wheels or suspension parts is damaged, a tow truck must be used.
