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 handle or use an extensionpipe over the wrench handle. Go around the wheel tightening every other nut until they are all tight. Thendouble-check each nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have a techni- cian tighten the wheel nuts to theirproper torque as soon as possible. Wheel nut tightening torque: Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel: 900-1,100 kg.cm (65-80 lb.ft) 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 recom- mended, drive slowly to the nearestservice station and inflate to the cor- rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall thevalve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you lose avalve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible. After you have changed wheels, al-ways secure the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.HTG5016-1
IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If your vehicle has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your vehicle is notdamaged in towing. Also, professionals are generally aware of local laws gov- erning towing. In any case, rather thanrisk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safetychain system is used and that all local laws are observed. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheelsoff the ground.
! CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neu- tral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" po- sition.

D080D04A-GAT Emergency Towing
For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available, attacha tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear of your car. D080D01TG
!
D080B03TG
CAUTION:
A vehicle with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground.This can cause serious damage to the transaxle. Be sure to use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
3) It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with all the wheels off the ground. D080D02TGDo not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface.This could result in serious damage to your car. Nor should towing be attempted if thewheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral andthe key is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towedcar to steer it and operate the brakes. NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it isbelow the "HOT" range on the dip- stick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.

2MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
F010C01A-GAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as
inspections, adjustments and replace- ments that are listed in the mainte-nance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the mainte-nance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they beperformed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures maybe performed at any qualified service facility. F010D01A-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks youshould perform when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A listof these items will be found on page 6- 3.
F010A01A-GAT Service Requirements To assure that you receive the great- est number of kilometers of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be per-formed. Although careful design and engineering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required areof the utmost importance.It is your responsibility to have thesemaintenance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warran- ties covering your new Hyundai. TheService Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further informa- tion about these warranties.
F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main areas: o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any requiredrepairs or replacements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or autotransaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor maybe used without affecting your war- ranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to thequality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport provides fur- ther information about your warrantycoverage.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
7EXPLANATION OF SCHED- ULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required. F060B01NF-GAT
o Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation and replace if necessary.Drive belts should be checked periodi- cally for proper tension. F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
F060D01A-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage. Have a trained technician replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately. F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapor hoseor fuel filler cap is correctly replaced. F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase
Ventilation Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam- age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examine those hose surfaces nearest to highheat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.

F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recommended when filter is replaced. F060J01A-AAT o Spark Plugs Make sure to install new spark plugs of the correct heat range. F070C01A-AAT
o Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule.
Inspect the hose routing to assure thatthe hoses do not come in contact withany heat source, sharp edges or mov- ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspectall hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present.Hoses should be replaced immedi- ately if there is any evidence of dete- rioration or damage.
F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and anyleakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. F070E04A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"
range of the dipstick, after the engineand transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied.
Use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III,
DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or other brands approved by Hyundai Motor Co., when adding or changingfluid.
F060N02E-AAT
o Valve Clearance
Inspect excessive valve noise and/orengine vibration and adjust if neces- sary. A qualified technician should perform the operation. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
