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.

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.

What to do in an emergency
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.

What to do in an emergency
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so thesteering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the hand bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off. Tie-down hook
(for flatbed towing)
OHD066006L
WARNING
Do not use the hooks under the
front of the vehicle for towing pur-
poses. These hooks are designed
ONLY for transport tie-down. If the
tie-down hooks are used for tow-
ing, the tie-down hooks or front
bumper will be damaged and this
could lead to serious injury.
CAUTION - Automatic transaxle
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can betowed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Do
not tow at speeds greater than 40km/h and for more than 25 km. Be sure the steering is unlocked byplacing the ignition switch in the
ACC position. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate thesteering and brakes.

Maintenance
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the coolantrecovery reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn sig-
nals and hazard warning flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall) :
Check radiator, heater and air condi- tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with clean cloth dampened with wash-er fluid.
Check headlight alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
Check for worn tyres and loose wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year :
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and checks, and
bonnet hinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weatherstrips.
Check the air conditioning system before the warm weather season.
Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls.
Clean battery and terminals.
Check the brake (and clutch) fluid level.

Maintenance
Changing the engine oil and filter
Have engine oil and filter changed by an
authorised Hyundai dealer according tothe Maintenance Schedule at the begin-ning of this section.The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at thebeginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
- Removing
radiator cap
Never attempt to remove the radi- ator cap while the engine is oper-
ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine
damage and could result in seri-
ous personal injury from escap-ing hot coolant or steam.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you aresure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
Even if the engine is not operat- ing, do not remove the radiatorcap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irrita- tion or cancer of the skin if left in
contact with the skin for prolonged
periods of time. Used engine oil
contains chemicals that have
caused cancer in laboratory ani-
mals. Always protect your skin by
washing your hands thoroughlywith soap and warm water as soon
as possible after handling used oil.

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours. Reset items
Items should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery hasbeen disconnected.

When lifting a plastic-cased bat- tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak, resulting in personal injury.
Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cablesare connected.
The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with theengine running or the ignition
switched on.
Failure to follow the above warn-
ings can result in serious bodily
injury or death.
