WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-8 D080A02A-GAT IF YOUR CAR MUST BE TOWED CAUTION: Your car can be damaged if towed incorrect- ly! 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 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 local laws are ob- served.
D080B01A-AAT Towing a Car with a Manual Transaxle
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.

D060J01FC-GAT 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 luggage room and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

Engine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that youcheck the oil level at least once a week innormal use and more often if you are on a tripor driving in severe conditions. SH, SG or SG/CD (API) multi-grade and fuel efficient oil is recommended. NOTE: SAE 5W-20 is not recommended for sus- tained high speed vehicle operation.

TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-
ue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains con- tacting the body, retighten the chain toavoid contact with the vehicle body. I060A01FC-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handling characteristics.
I040A01S-GAT
SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, theyshould be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on, or up tothe maximum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped with snow tires.
Tire pressures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car topcarrier.
HA1409Spare tire
o To prevent body damage, retighten the
chains after driving 0.5 ~ 1 km.
