In the event Neutral cannot be selected or a failure with the parking brake mechanism causes the wheels not to
roll, wheel dollies such as “GoJaks” or tire skates should be used on the non-rolling wheels to assist with load-
ing the vehicle. Care must be taken when installing tire skates or GoJaks due to the limited clearance around the
wheels and between the vehicle and the ground.

SELECTING NEUTRAL:
If the vehicle can be shifted normally:
Nexo - Depress the brake pedal and select Neutral.
Tucson - Depress the brake pedal and slide the shift
lever to the Neutral position.
If the vehicle has power, but will not start:
Nexo -Withyourfootothebrakepedal,pushthe
Start/Stop switch to select Accessory mode (the

to Neutral).
Tucson - Depress the brake pedal, remove the
plastic cover from the override and press the shift
release using a small screwdriver as seen in the
image.
Car Carrier Loading Procedures:
• Before loading, if possible, place the vehicle in Neutral with the parking brake released. Only load the
vehicle onto the car carrier enough to safely transport the vehicle. Stop loading when the winch line begins
to pull the vehicle downward. To prevent excessive downward pull, keep the leading edge of the vehicle at
least 2 feet from the winch drum (this will vary based on the towing equipment being used).
• When the vehicle is in its loaded position on the car carrier with the bed still in the deployed position, secure
the vehicle to prevent it from rolling by chocking the wheels and attaching one wheel strap to the wheel
closest to you. Continue to secure the vehicle until all four wheels are secure.
• Clearance around the wheel may be limited and careful routing of straps is needed to avoid contacting brake
lines and wires, especially behind the front wheels. Careful routing of the straps is also important to avoid
contact with the painted surfaces of the vehicle.
• Once the bed is in its transport position and the vehicle is secured to the bed with four wheel strap tie-
downs, place the vehicle into Park to help secure the vehicle. Also ensure the vehicle is OFF and the elec-
tronic key is removed from the vehicle.
• After securing, slacken the winch line slightly to prevent any downward pull on the vehicle during transport.
