If towing is necessary, contact an 
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded 
products 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 working 
condition.
