I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are im-properly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
I060A01FC-GAT 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 tight-ness.
HA1409Spare tire WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-
ply tires under any circum- stances. This may cause danger- ous handling characteristics.

I100A01TB-GAT SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your Hyundai is delivered with the fol- lowing: Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Screw driver,Jack, Towing hook HTB224
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-less of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tires generally be replaced after six (6) years ofnormal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high load- ing conditions can accelerate theaging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure, which could lead to aloss of control and an accident involving serious injury or death.
!
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indica- tors appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be re-placed when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires withthose of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundaispecification.

SD070A1-E CHANGING A FLAT TYRE It is of the utmost importance that care is exercised when changing roadwheels. Ensure that the parking brake is set and that the gear shift lever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatictransaxle).
SD060A1-E IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE If a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is
safe to do so and with the minimum amount of braking required which will assist in maintaining the maxi- mum amount of control. The vehicleshould be parked wherever pos- sible upon firm level ground to facili- tate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not per-mit the wheel to be changed safely,assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to
remain inside the vehicle duringwheel changing. If a puncture oc- curs whilst the vehicle is on a motorway, the passengers shouldtake refuge on the motorway em- bankment to avoid the possibility of injury occurring should the vehiclebe struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be per-
formed according to the followinginstructions.

ZD070F1-E 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 surethat the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position thewrench so the handle is to the right as shown in the drawing. Then, whilst holding the wrench near the end of thehandle, pull up on it with steady pres- sure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-halfturn.

SD070F1-F 4. 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.
SD070G1-E 5. Raising the Car After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the draw- ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheelnut wrench clockwise. As the jack be- gins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and willnot slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, it may be necessary to place a stout piece of timber under the base ofthe jack to prevent it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare wheel can be in-stalled. HFC4022

WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! The jack is solely designed for wheel chang-ing and is not intended to support the vehicle for other purposes. The use of purpose designed supportsis necessary whilst the vehicle is raised and the operator is required to get underneath.
