8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten
Nuts
To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger tight. The nuts should be installed with theirsmall diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then tighten the nuts as muchas possible with your fingers again. D060H01A

WARNING:
Wheel and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on thehub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting solidly againstthe 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 loosen and cause the loss of awheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

D060J01E-GAT 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,

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This willhelp assure that your car is not dam- aged in towing. Also, professionals are generally aware of local laws govern-ing towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to your car, it is sug- gested that you show this informationto the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain system is used and that local laws are observed.

The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified inthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filterchanges are required. The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set
the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge movesabove the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selec- tor lever in "P" (automatic) or reversegear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the en-
gine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the drain plug by turning it counter-clockwise with a wrench of the propersize. Be sure that a drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug. WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning it clockwise.
Tightening torque : 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A certainamount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan in place underneathit.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance
with the instructions on the carton oron the filter itself. Do not over-tighten.
Tightening torque:Gasoline - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m Diesel(LHD(Except E.C), RHD) - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m

I050A01TB-AAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be surethat the chains are installed in accor- dance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions.To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.
I040A02A-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires on the tire label in the glove box, or up to the maximum pressure shown on thetire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires. I060A02A-AAT TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains.
o Don't use the tire chains in 185/55
R15 tire to prevent body damage.
o If you have noise caused by chains contacting the body, retighten the chain to avoid contact with thevehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5 ~ 1 km. HA1409

vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to thevehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms of acceleration, braking and handling due to the increased loads placed upon thevehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and ad- just the driving style in keeping withthese changes. Care should be exer- cised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncontrol-lable by reducing cornering speeds and allowing increased braking dis- tances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away fromrest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to exces- sive slippage which will reduce theuseful life of this component. Use of the "Overdrive Off", "2" and "L" posi- tions when driving vehicles with auto-matic transmission will assist with brak- ing performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improved acceleration performance will be avail-able by selecting "Overdrive Off","2",or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that the transmission unit makes an undesirable upshift whilsthill climbing or overtaking. The trans- mission unit should be operated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normalcircumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise and en- gine wear.

The use of a proprietary stabiliser willassist in achieving an inherently stableoutfit but whilst the use of such equip- ment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compen-sate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be main- tained in accordance with the recom-mendations of the manufacturer. Spe- cial attention should be paid to tyres which deteriorate through time andexposure rather than as a result of the distances towed. The inside walls of the tyres should be inspected alongwith the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular basis,preferably before each towing ses- sion. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mechanism must be maintained in good working order. The trailer break awaycable or chain should be inspected for damage and should be attached to the
