SPARE TIRE
Spare Tire PressureD040A01A-AATThe following instructions for the tem-
porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon
as is practical after installing the
spare tire, and adjust to the speci-
fied pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pres-
sure while the tire is stored.
!
Tire Size
Inflation Pressure
T105/70D(R)14
60 psi (420 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.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over
50 mph (80 km/h) is not recom-
mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically 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.
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
temporarily and should be returned
to the luggage compartment as
soon as the original tire can be
repaired or replaced.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE
D040B01A-AATHandling the Spare Tire
Remove the installation bolt to re-
move the spare tire. To replace the
spare tire in its storage compartment,
tighten the bolt firmly with your fin-
gers until there is no more play in the
spare tire.
HLC4011D050A01A-AAT
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause a loss of control. When
the car has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake care-
fully and pull off the road. Drive off
the road as far as possible and
park on firm, level ground. If you
are on a divided highway, do not
park in the median area between
the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on
your emergency hazard flashers,
set the parking brake and put the
transaxle in "P" (automatic) or re-
verse (manual transaxle). CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with
your temporary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one tem-
porary spare tire at a time.
o Do not tow a trailer while the
temporary spare tire is installed.

Block the wheel that is diagonally
opposite from the flat to keep the
vehicle from rolling when the car is
raised on the jack.D060C01A-AAT2. Block the Wheel

the boss of the wheel cap in the
notch of the wheel, hitting the cen-

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
!
Raise the car high enough so that the
fully inflated spare tire can be in-
stalled. To do this, you will need more
ground clearance than is required to
remove the flat tire.
D060G02Y-AAT6. 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.
D060G01A
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is
supported 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.
!
WARNING:
Wheels and wheel covers may have
sharp edges. Handle them care-
fully to avoid possible severe in-
jury.
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.
