WARNING: Wheel covers may have sharp edges. Han-
dle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury.
Before putting the wheel into place, be sure
that there is nothing on the hub or wheel(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that inter-feres with the wheel fitting solidly againstthe hub. If there is, remove it. If there is notgood contact on the mounting surface be-tween the wheel and hub, the wheel nutscould come loose and cause the loss of awheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss ofcontrol of the vehicle. This may cause seri-ous injury or death. D060I01E-GAT
8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts
D060H01A-AAT
7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the wheeland put the wheel nuts on the studs and tightenthem finger tight. The nuts should be installedwith their small diameter ends directed inward.Jiggle the tire to be sure it is completely seated,then tighten the nuts with your fingers again. Lower the car to the ground by turning thewheel nut wrench counterclockwise. Then posi-tion the wrench as shown in the drawing andtighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket isseated completely over the nut. Do not stand onthe wrench handle or use an extension pipeover the wrench handle. Go around the wheel tightening every other unt until they are all tight. Then double-check eachnut for tightness. After changing wheels, have atechnician tighten the wheel nuts to their propertorque as soon as possible.

After Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to thenearest service station and inflate to the correctpressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it iscorrect. Always reinstall the valve cap afterchecking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap isnot replaced, air may leak from the tire. If youlose a valve cap, buy another and install it assoon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the luggage room andreturn the jack and tools to their proper storagelocations. D080A01A-GAT
IF YOUR CAR MUST BE TOWED D080B01A-AAT
Towing a Car With a Manual Transaxle
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE WITH NO DAMAGE
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
CAUTION: Your car can be damaged if towed incor- rectly! If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truckservice. This will help assure that your car isnot damaged in towing. Also, professionals aregenerally aware of state and local laws govern-ing towing. In any case, rather than risk dam-age to your car, it is suggested that you showthis information to the tow truck operator. Besure that a safety chain system is used and thatlocal laws are observed. o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake isreleased.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be sure that thetransaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that theignition key is in the "ACC" position. This isnecessary to prevent damage to the steer-ing lock mechanism, which is not designedto hold the front wheels straight while the caris being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dollymust be used.

Towing a Car With Automatic Transaxle
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE
CAUTION: A car with an automatic transaxle should
never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This can cause seri-ous damage to the transaxle. If the car mustbe towed from the rear, a towing dolly mustbe used under the front wheels.
If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, be sure the parking brake is re-leased. D080D02X-GAT
Emergency Towing For emergency towing when no commercialtow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,chain or strap to the two hooks under the frontof your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehiclein this manner on any unpaved surface. Thiscould result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neu-tral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-ning). A driver must be in the towed car to steerit and operate the brakes. CAUTION: If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from thefront. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.Do not tow at speeds greater than 50 km/h(30 mph) and for more than 25 km (15 miles).Be sure the steering is unlocked by placingthe key in the "ACC" position. A driver mustbe in the towed vehicle to operate the steer-ing and brakes.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your keynumber. If you lock the keys inside your car andyou cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundaidealers can use special tools to open the doorfor you. Information about the key of immobilizer sys- tem (If installed) will be found on page 1-2.
NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" rangeon the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot addfluid, a towing dolly must be used.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4-2 E020C01A-AAT
Keep Your Garage Dry
Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated
garage. This creates a favorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if youwash your car in the garage or drive it into thegarage when it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contrib-ute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated somoisture is dispersed.
E020D01A-AAT
Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov-
ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possibleto reduce the possibility of corrosion. If baremetal is showing through, the attention of aqualified body and paint shop is recommended.
E020E01A-AAT
Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and
carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under themats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean-ing materials or chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper contain-
ers and any spills or leaks should be cleanedup, flushed with clear water and thoroughlydried. E030A01A-AAT
WASHING AND WAXING Washing Your Hyundai
Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car inthe shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Airpollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. Ifyou live near the ocean or in an area where
road salts or dust control chemicals are used,you should pay particular attention to the under-side of the car. Start by rinsing the car toremove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if youhave driven through mud or muddy water, besure to thoroughly clean the underside as well.Use a hard direct stream of water to removeaccumulations of mud or corrosive materials.Use a good quality car-washing solution andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the pack-
age. These are available at your Hyundai deal-
er or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong house-hold detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or
abrasive cleaning powders as these may dam-age the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently
and don't damage the finish by rubbing toohard. For stubborn spots, dampen them fre-
quently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soapy steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a
mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not useabrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal sur-faces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Be-
cause aluminum is subject to corrosion, be sureto give aluminum alloy wheels special attention
in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean thewheels thoroughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking willresult. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse eachsection immediately after washing to avoidstreaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois
or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for dryingthe car is to remove water from the car so it willdry without water spots. Don't rub, this candamage the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to preventcorrosion. To protect the paintwork of the caragainst corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai
