Hyundai Accent: Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle :
- |
The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck.
This is best way of transporting the vehicle.
|
- |
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under
the tires of the driving axle and lift them off the ground. The other
two wheels remain on the ground.
|
- |
The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the
ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the
cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension
and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted.

If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, should
be towed with the wheels of the driving axle off the ground and do the following
:

transaxle. follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot

your vehicle must be transported on a flatbed.

It is the best to tow vehicle no farther
than 30km (19miles), and keep the speed below 50km/h (30mph).
(For the full-time 4WD vehicle, limit the towing to 1.5km (1mile)
and 15km/h (10mph)
