4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,jack, jack handle, and spare tyre from
the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the wheel that is diagonally opposite the
jack position. 6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter-
clockwise one turn each, but do not
remove any nut until the tyre has been
raised off the ground.

WARNING - Changing a tyre
To prevent vehicle movement
while changing a tyre, always set
the hand brake fully, and always
block the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the wheel being changed.
We recommend that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked, and
that no person remain in a vehi-
cle that is being jacked.

7. Place the jack at the front or rear jack-
ing position closest to the tyre you are
changing. Place the jack at the desig-
nated locations under the frame. The
jacking positions are plates welded to
the frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to index with the jack. 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack and
turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tyre just clears the ground.
This measurement is approximately 30
mm. Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is stable
and that there is no chance for move-
ment or slippage. 9. 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 tyre, line up theholes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tipthe wheel slightly and get the top holein 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.
WARNING - Jack location
To reduce the possibility of injury,
be sure to use only the jack provid-
ed with the vehicle and in the cor-
rect jack position; never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
1JB6025OUN046018
WARNING
Wheels 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 the
hub 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 sur-face between the wheel and hub,
the wheel nuts could come loose
and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of con-
trol of the vehicle. This may cause
serious injury or death.

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on thestuds, put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger tight.
The nuts should be installed withtheir small diameter ends directed
inward. Jiggle the tyre to be sure it iscompletely seated, then tighten the
nuts as much as possible with yourfingers again.
11. Lower the car to the ground by turn- ing the wheel nut wrench counter-
clockwise.
Then position the wrench as shown in
the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts.
Be sure the socket is seated completely
over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench
handle or use an extension pipe over the
wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every
other nut until they are all tight. Then dou-
ble-check each nut for tightness. After
changing wheels, have a technician tight-
en the wheel nuts to their proper torque
as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft) If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. If
the pressure is lower than recommend-
ed, drive slowly to the nearest servicestation and inflate to the correct pres-
sure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is cor-
rect. Always reinstall the valve cap after
checking or adjusting tyre pressure. If the
cap is not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy another
and install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always
secure the flat tyre in its place and return
the jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.

To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
lug nut wrench and spare tyre from rat-
tling while the vehicle is in motion, store
them properly.
Important - use of compact spare tire
(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tire. This compact spare tire takes
up less space than a regular-size tire.
This tire is smaller than a conventional
tire and is designed for temporary use
only.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make cer-tain during wheel removal that the same nuts removed are reinstalled -
or, if replaced, that nuts with metricthreads and the same chamfer con-figuration are used. Installation of a non-metric thread nut on a metric
stud or vice-versa will not securethe wheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not havemetric threads. Be sure to useextreme care in checking for thread style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, con-sult an authorised Hyundai dealer.WARNING - Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may lose their ability to retain the wheel.This could lead to the loss of thewheel and a collision resulting inserious injuries.
WARNING - Inadequate
spare tyre pressure
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing the
spare tyre. Adjust it to the specified
pressure, if necessary. Refer to
Section 8, Specifications.
CAUTION
You should drive carefully when the compact spare is in use. Thecompact spare should bereplaced by the proper conven-
tional tire and rim at the firstopportunity.
The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use atthe same time.
Page 221 of 308

613
What to do in an emergency
The compact spare should be inflated to
420 kPa (60 psi).
✽✽NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to avoid all haz-
ards. Any road hazard, such as a pot-
hole or debris, could seriously damage
the compact spare.
Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of vehi-
cle control, and possible personal
injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load-carrying capaci-
ty shown on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The com- pact spare tire diameter is smaller than
the diameter of a conventional tire and
reduces the ground clearance approxi-mately 25 mm (1 inch), which could
result in damage to the vehicle.
Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the compactspare tire is installed.
Do not use tire chains on the compact spare tire. Because of the smaller size,
a tire chain will not fit properly. This
could damage the vehicle and result inloss of the chain. The compact spare tire should not be
installed on the front axle if the vehicle
must be driven in snow or on ice.
Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this tire has
been designed especially for your vehi-
cle.
The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect your
compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted onthe same wheel.
The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel cov-
ers or trim rings be used with the tem-
porary spare wheel. If such use isattempted, damage to these items or
other car components may occur.
Do not use more than one temporary spare tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the temporary spare tire is installed.
WARNING
This spare tire should be used only
for VERY short distances. Compact
spares should NEVER be used for
long drives or extended distances.

TOWING
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an autho-
rised Hyundai dealer or a commercial
tow-truck service. Proper lifting and tow-
ing procedures are necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle. The use of wheeldollies or flatbed is recommended.
For trailer towing guidelines information, refer to section 5 “Driving your vehicle”.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground (without dol-
lies) and the front wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspen- sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
front of the vehicle should always be lift-
ed, not the rear.

CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on theground as this may cause dam-age to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equip- ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
CAUTION
Before towing, check the level ofthe automatic transaxle fluid. If it isbelow the "HOT" range on the dip- stick, add fluid. If you cannot addfluid, a towing dolly must be used.

What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an emer- gency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-tion.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the hand brake.
Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorised
Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull a vehi-
cle out of mud, sand or other condi-
tions from which the vehicle cannot be
driven out under its own power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other frequent-
ly.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shift
lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter-nal damage to the transaxle.OHD066005

Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead. Use a towing strap less than 5 m long.
Attach a white or red cloth (about 30
cm wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
CAUTION
Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for tow-ing may damage the body of your
vehicle.
Use only a cable or chain specifi- cally intended for use in towingvehicles. Securely fasten thecable or chain to the towing hook
provided.WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
driving manoeuvres which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact anauthorised Hyundai dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle dur- ing towing.
