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

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

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.

pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and thenhold it down with a force of about 490N (50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the topsurface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not withinthe limits specified in the illustration, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary.
With the engine off, press down on the
brake pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster.
