Spare Tire Pressure
D040A01A-AAT
The following instructions for the temporary spare
tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is prac-
tical after installing the spare tire, and adjust
to the specified pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and main-
tained at the specified pressure while the tire
is stored.!
Tire Size
Inflation PressureT105/70D(R)14
60 psi (414 kPa)
CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.5. The temporary spare tire should not be used
on any other wheels, nor should standard
tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used with the temporary spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to these
items or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be
checked once a month while the tire is stored.
!
2. The spare tire should only be used tempo-
rarily and should be returned to the luggage
compartment as soon as the original tire can
be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph
(80 km/h) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used
on any other vehicle.
CAUTION:o Do not use snow chains with your tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one temporary
spare tire at a time.

Wheel Cap (If Installed)
1. Wrap a piece of cloth around the tip of the
wrench bar to avoid scratching.
2. Insert the wrench bar into the notch of the
wheel cap and pry gently to remove the
wheel cap.
3. Change the flat tire.4. Reinstall the wheel cap by fitting the boss of
the wheel cap in the notch of the wheel,
hitting the center of the wheel cap with your
hand.

4. Put the Jack in Place
The base of the jack should be placed on firm,
level ground. The jack should be positioned as
shown in the drawing.

Flat tire
Block the wheel that is diagonally opposite from
the flat to keep the vehicle from rolling when the
car is raised on the jack.

3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly
before 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, pull up on it with steady pressure.
Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen
them about one-half turn.

5. Raising the Car
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.Wrench bar

WARNING:Do not get under the car when it is support-
ed by the jack! This is very dangerous as the
vehicle could fall and cause serious injury or
death. No one should stay in the car while
the jack is being used.

6. Changing Wheels
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.

8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts
Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise. Then position the
wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com-
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench
or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every other nut
until they are all tight. Then double-check each
nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have a
technician tighten the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)
HLC4008
!WARNING:Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp
edges. Handle them carefully to avoid pos-
sible 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 interferes
with the wheel fitting solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good
contact on the mounting surface between
the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could
loosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of control of the
vehicle. This may cause serious injury or
death.
D060H02A-AAT
7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs,
put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them
finger tight. The nuts should be installed with
their small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle
the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then
tighten the nuts as much as possible with your
fingers again.

11IF YOUR CAR MUST BE TOWED
D060J01E-AAT
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 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.

CAUTION:Your car can be damaged if towed incor-
rectly!
HLC4012
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.

D080D03A-AATEMERGENCY TOWING
For emergency towing when no commercial tow
vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or
strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/
rear of your car. Do not attempt to tow your
vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface.
This may 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 neutral
and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in
the "ON" position (with the engine running). A
driver must be in the towed car to steer it and
operate the brakes.
HLC4014NOTE:Before towing, check the level of the tran-
saxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on
the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add
fluid, a towing dolly must be used as de-
scribed above.

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 must
be towed from the rear, a towing dolly must
be used under the front wheels. o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC

13IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS
D120A01A-AAT
If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers
can make you a new key if you have your key
number.
If you lock the keys inside your car and you
cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers
can use special tools to open the door for you.
CAUTION:If the car is being towed with all four wheels
on the ground, it can be towed only from the
front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.
Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph
(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position. A driver must
be in the towed vehicle to operate the steer-
ing and brakes.
