If there is small fire and you know how to use the fire extinguisher, take thefollowing steps carefully.
1. Pull the pin at the top of the extin-guisher that keeps the handle from being accidentally pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of
the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)
away from the fire and squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher. If you release the handle, the dis- charge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fireappears to be out, watch it carefullysince it may re-ignite.
Triangle Reflector The triangle reflector is located in the trunk. Placed the triangle reflector on the road to warn oncoming vehicles during emer- gencies, such as when the vehicle is parked by the roadside due to anyproblems.
D060J01E-GAT After 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 adjustingtire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it assoon as possible. After you have changed wheels, al- ways secure the flat tire in its place inthe trunk and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

First Aid Kit The first aid kit is located in the trunk. There are some items such as scis- sors, bandage and adhesive tape and etc. in the kit to give first aid to aninjured person. Tire Pressure Gauge (If Installed) You can easily check the tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge that is found in OVM tool bag. Tires normally lose some air in day-to-day use, and youmay have to add a few pounds of air periodically and it is not usually a sign of a leaking tire, but of normal wear.Always check tire pressure when the tires are cold because tire pressure increases with temperature. To check the tire pressure, take the following steps; 1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap that
is located on the rim of the tire.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tire valve. Some air will escape asyou begin and more will escape if youdon't press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will activate
the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge to know whether the tire pressure islow or high.
5. Adjust the tire pressures to the speci- fied pressure. See page 3-5.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED
D080A01O-GAT If 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 notdamaged in towing.
