Hyundai Creta: Towing / Emergency towing

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial
tow truck service.
If 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 since 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
transaxle for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic
transaxle fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.
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.
- Limit the vehicle speed to
15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less
than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing to
avoid serious damage to the automatic
transaxle.
