D060E01A-AAT4. 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.

3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To loosen
the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun-
terclockwise. When doing this, be sure
that the socket is seated completely
over the nut so it cannot slip off. For
maximum leverage, position the wrench
so the handle is to the left as shown in
the drawing. Then, while holding the
wrench near the end of the handle, push
down on it with steady pressure. Do not
remove the nuts at this time. Just
loosen them about one-half turn.

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

WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is
supported 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.
D060F02E-AAT5. 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.

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.
HGK4031
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.

D060J01FC-GATAfter 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 nearest
service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until
it is correct. Always reinstall the valve
cap after checking or adjusting tire
pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air
may leak from the tire. If you lose a
valve cap, buy another and install it as
soon as possible.

on the wrench handle or use an exten-
sion pipe over the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every
other nut until they are all tight. Then
double-check each nut for tightness.
After changing wheels, have a techni-
cian tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100kg.cm)After you have changed wheels, al-
ways secure the flat tire in its place in
the luggage compartment and return
the jack and tools to their proper stor-
age locations.

G290B01GK-AATAdjustment After Headlight Assembly
ReplacementIf the vehicle has had front body repair and the
headlight assembly has been replaced, the
headlight aiming should be checked using an
aiming screen as shown in the illustration. Turn
on the headlight switch.
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is
parallel to center line of the body and is
aligned with point "P" shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show the center
of headlights.

1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press
the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-
eral times. Place vehicle at a distance of 118
in. (3m) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for
full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and
spare tire, jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head light lenses and turn on the
headlights.
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of
each headlight beam pattern) and the hori-
zontal line (through the center of each head-
light beam pattern) on the aiming screen.
And then, draw the parallel line at 0.827 in. (21
mm) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the
parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -
VERTICAL AIMING.
WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the horizontal align-
ment of your headlights. Horizontal aiming
must be adjusted by an authorized Hyundai
dealer to avoid incorrect alignment that will
reduce the effectiveness of your headlights.

I030A03JM-AATRECOMMENDED COLD TIRE INFLA-
TION PRESSURES
Tire label located on the driver's side of
the center pillar outer panel gives the
cold tire pressures recommended for
your vehicle with the original tire size,
the number of people that can be in your
vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide 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:
I030B01GK
HGK6003
!
WARNING:
o Inspect your tires frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage. Always use a tire
pressure gauge.
o Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended
cold tire pressure for your vehicle
can be found in this manual and
on the tire label located on the
driver's side of the center pillar.
o Worn tires can cause accidents.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
o Remember to check the pressure
of your spare tire. Hyundai recom-
mends that you check the spare
every time you check the pressure
of the other tires on your vehicle.

NOTE:
o Underinflation also results in ex-
cessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel de-
formation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by your
Hyundai Dealer.
o Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.WARNING:
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce the tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sud-
den tire failure. This could rusult in
loss of vehicle control and potential
injury.CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. (After the vehicle has
been parked for at least three hours
or hasn't been driven more than 1
mile (1.6 km) since starting up.)
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-
sure of other tires.
o Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn,
or if your tires have been dam-
aged, replace them.

label, no further adjustment is neces-
sary. If the pressure is low, add air until
you reach the recommended amount.
If you overfill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the center
of the tire valve. Recheck the tire pres-
sure with the tire gage. Be sure to put
the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out
dirt and moisture.
I035A01JM-AATCHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-
SURE
Check your tires once a month or more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to Check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by looking
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1
mile (1.6 km).
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gage firmly
onto the valve to get a pressure mea-
surement. If the cold tire inflation pres-
sure matches the recommended pres-
sure on the tire and loading informationFederal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on
the sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamen-
tal characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification number
(TIN) for safety standard certification.
The TIN can be used to identify the tire
in case of a recall.
