2. The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) shown on the
vehicle identification plate (see page 8-
1). The total gross vehicle weight is the
combined weight of the vehicle, driver,
all passengers and their luggage, cargo,
hitch, trailer tongue load and other op-
tional equipment.
3. The front or rear axle weight must not
exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifi-
cation plate (see page 8-2). It is possible
that your towing package does not ex-
ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR.

CAUTION:The following specifications are recom-
mended when towing a trailer. The loaded
trailer weight cannot safely exceed the val-
ues in the chart below.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and
turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. (Less than 60 mph)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and
electrical charging performance, do not use
fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive
(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all
tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire
pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting.
When being passed by a large vehicle, keep
a constant speed and steer straight ahead.
If there is too much wind buffeting, slow down
to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially
on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal
precautions. Turn your front wheel into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the
transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park Gross axle weight Gross vehicle weightImproper trailer loading and/or too much
luggage in the trunk can overload the
rear axle. Redistribute the load and check
the axle weight again.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-
ing, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if the engine cool-
ant has been lost, carefully add water to the
reservoir (Page 6-8) to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. If overheating
happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for
assistance.
CAUTION:Serious loss of engine coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system and this
should be checked as soon as possible by
a Hyundai dealer.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
D040A01GK-AAT
The following instructions for the temporary
spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practi-
cal 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 Pressure
T125/70R 16
420 kPa(60 psi)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 80 km/h
(50 mph) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used
on any other vehicle.
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. Spare Tire Pressure
CAUTION:o Do not use snow chains with your tem-
porary 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 groove of the
wheel cap and pry gently to remove the
wheel cap.
HGK2243. Change the flat tire.
4. Reinstall the wheel cap by fitting the boss of
the wheel cap in the groove of the wheel,
hitting the center of the wheel cap with your
hand.

Remove the spare tire and remove the jack and
tool bag from the trunk.

!WARNING:Do not get under the car when it is sup-
ported by the jack! This is very dangerous
as the jack 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 bar into the wheel nut wrench,
install the bar into the jack as shown in the
drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the jack
handle clockwise. As the jack begins to raise the
vehicle, double check that it is properly posi-
tioned 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
D060H02Y-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.

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
side center piller outer panel or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire sidewall which-
ever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.
I030A02GK-AAT
RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRES-
SURES
The tire label located on the driver side center
pillar outer panel gives the tire pressures rec-
ommended for your vehicle.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.HGK092
