Expert Reply:
According to the owners manual for your 2012 Hyundai Elantra the only acceptable ways to tow your vehicle is with the front wheels off the ground or all wheels off the ground. It should never be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I recommend using a Dolly # DM9713045 to tow your Elantra as this will fold up when not in use to not take up as much space when not needed.
As far as having the engine running while towing this is not recommended as there is no one inside the vehicle to monitor the gauges. If your Elantra were to overheat which is likely since not as much air flow would move through the radiator you risk catastrophic failure.
