1. Obtain Spare Tire and Tool
Remove the spare tire and remove the jack and
tool bag from the luggage compartment.
NOTE:The spare tire is located underneath the car.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 left as shown in the drawing.
Then, while holding the wrench near the end of
the handle, push down on it with steady pres-
sure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just
loosen them about one-half turn.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
!WARNING:Do not get under the car when it is sup-
ported 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.
D060E01A-AAT
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.
D060F02E-AAT
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.

6. Changing Wheels
D060H02O-AAT
7. Reinstall Wheel Nuts
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.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 from
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 come loose 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.To reinstall the wheel, 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.

8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts
D060J02O-AAT
After Changing Wheels
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
completely over the nut. Do not stand on the
wrench handle 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)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 re-
placed, 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 and return the jack and
tools to their proper storage locations.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 truck
service. This will help assure that your car is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals are
generally aware of state and local laws govern-
ing 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.

If the vehicle has had front body repair and the
headlight assembly has been replaced, the
headlight aiming should be checked using an
aiming chart as shown in the illustration. Turn on
the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1 . Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is
parallel to center line of the body and is
aligned with point "P" shown in the illustration.
2 . Dotted lines in the illustration show the center

Before performing aiming adjustment, make
sure of the following.
1 . Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2 . Place the vehicle on level ground and press
the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-
eral times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3m)
from the test wall.
3 . See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for
full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and
spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driver
or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4 . Clean the head light lenses and turn on the
headlights (Low beam).
5 . Open the hood.

SNOW TIRES
If 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; otherwise, 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's
side of the center pillar , 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.

These pressures were chosen to provide the
most satisfactory combination of ride comfort,
tire wear and stability under normal conditions.
Tire pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
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
driven more than one mile or 1.6 km since
starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.o Never overload your car. Be especially
careful about overloading if you equip
your car with a luggage rack or car top
carrier.
CAUTION:!

I050A03A-AAT
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's
instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue
to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:o When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30
km/h).
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 to
avoid contact with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, retighten the
chains after driving 0.3 ~ 0.6 miles.
