on firm, level ground. The jack should
be positioned as shown in the drawing.

D060D01A-AAT3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To
loosen the nuts, turn the wrench
handle counterclockwise. When doing
this, be sure that the socket is seated
completely over the nut so it cannot
slip off. For maximum leverage, posi-
tion the wrench so the handle is to the
right. Then, while holding the wrench
near the end of the handle, pull up on
it with steady pressure. Do not re-
move the nuts at this time. Just loosen
them about one-half turn.

D060F02E-AAT5. Raising the Car
After inserting a wrench bar into the
wheel nut wrench, install the wrench
bar into the jack as shown in the
drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the
wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the
jack begins to raise the vehicle, double
check that it is properly positioned 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 sink-
ing.
Raise the car high enough so that the
fully inflated spare tire can be installed.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D060J01E-AATAfter 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 cor-
rect 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 re-
placed, air may leak from the tire. If
you lose a valve 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.

IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE
TOWEDD080A01O-GATIf 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 not dam-
aged in towing. Also, professionals are
generally aware of local laws governing
towing. In any case, rather than risk dam-
age to your car, it is suggested that you
show this information to the tow truck
operator. Be sure that a safety chain sys-
tem 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 wheels off
the ground.
!
CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed
incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the key in the "ACC" position.

TIRESI020A02A-AATTIRE INFORMATION
The tires supplied on your new Hyndai
are chosen to provide the best perfor-
mance for normal driving.
If you ever have questions about your
tire warranty and where to obtain ser-
vice, see the tire manufacture's book-
let included with your vehicle's Owner's
Manual Literature Kit.
I030A02MC-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 combina-
tion 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 rea-
sons:
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 ve-
hicle 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.
See page 8-12.
o Remember to check the pressure
of your spare tire. Hyundai rec-
ommends that you check the
spare every time you check the
pressure of the other tires on
your vehicle.
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 one mile (1.6 km) since start-
ing up.)
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-
sure of other tires.
o Never overload your vehicle. Be
especially careful about overload-
ing if you equip your vehicle with
a luggage rack.
o Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn,
or if your tires have been dam-
aged, replace them.
!
WARNING: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.
