3-5 The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly be-
fore raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the
wrench handle counterclockwise. When doing
this, be sure that the socket is seated completely
over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum
leverage, position the wrench so the handle is to
the right as shown in the drawing. Then, while
holding the wrench near the end of the handle,
push down on it with steady pressure. Do not
remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them
about one-half turn.

After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as
shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn
the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack
begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is
properly positioned and will not slip. If the jack is
on soft ground or sand, place a board, brick, flat
stone or other object under the base of the jack
to keep it from sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this, you
will need more ground clearance than is required
to remove the flat tire.

Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with
your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay
it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel on
the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the holes
with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If
this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the
top hole in the wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until the
wheel can be slid over the other studs.

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 the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct.
Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced,
air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap,
buy another and install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. This will help assure that your car is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen-
erally aware of state and local laws governing
towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to
your car, it is suggested that you show this
information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that
a safety chain system is used and that all state
and local laws are observed.

o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake is
released.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels
on the ground, be sure that the transaxle is in
neutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key is in
the "ACC" position. This is necessary to
prevent damage to the steering lock mecha-
nism, which is not designed to hold the front
wheels straight while the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged, a towing dolly
must be used.

SNOW TIRES SNOW TIRESSNOW TIRES SNOW TIRES
SNOW TIRESIf you equip your car with snow tires, they
should be the same size and have the same
load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires
should be installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the driver
side center pillar outer panel, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.

To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-
tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.

Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles
(12,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearing
unevenly between rotations, have the car
checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may
be corrected.

TIRE BALANCINGA tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.

TIRE TRACTIONTire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or

placed when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control, slow
down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the
road.

Treadwear - The tread wear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For exam-
ple, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1 - 1/2) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The relative perfor-
mance of tires depends upon the actual condi-
tions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices and differenc-
es in road characteristics and climate.Traction AA, A, B, C - Traction AA, A, B, C -Traction AA, A, B, C - Traction AA, A, B, C -
Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction grades,
from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfac-
es of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.

Temperature A, B, C - The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor lab-
oratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
