6.Loosen the wheel lug nuts counter-clockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any lug nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground. 7.Place the jack at the front or rear
jacking position closest to the tire
you are changing. Place the jack atthe designated 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 tire clears the
ground. Before removing the wheel
lug nuts, make sure the vehicle is

9.Loosen the wheel lug 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 tire, line up the holeswith the studs and slide the wheel
onto them. If this is difficult, tip thewheel 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. 10. To install the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on thestuds and tighten them finger
tight. Jiggle the tire to be sure it iscompletely seated, then tighten
the nuts as much as possible
with your fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench
counterclockwise.
WARNING
Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle
them carefully to avoid possi-
ble severe injury.
Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there isnothing on the hub or wheel
(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.)
that interferes with the wheel
from fitting solidly against the
hub. If there is, remove it. Ifthe contact of the mountingsurface between the wheel
and hub is not good, the
wheel nuts could come looseand cause the loss of a wheel.
Loss of a wheel may result in
loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injuryor death.

What to do in an emergency
12. Position the wrench as shown inthe drawing and tighten the
wheel lug nuts. Be sure the sock-
et is seated completely over the
nut. Do not stand on the wrench
handle or use an extension pipe
over the wrench handle. Goaround the wheel tightening
every nut following the numerical
sequence shown in the image
until they are all tight. Double-
check each lug nut until they are
tight. After changing wheels, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft)
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 the tire pressure. If the cap
is not replaced, air may leak from the
tire. If you lose a valve cap, buyanother and install it as soon as pos-
sible.
After you have changed the wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its place
and return the jack and tools to their
proper storage locations.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.Make certain during wheel removal that the same nuts thatwere removed are reinstalled -or, if replaced, that nuts withmetric threads and the same chamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metricthread nut on a metric stud or vice-versa will not secure thewheel to the hub properly andwill damage the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do nothave metric threads. Be sure touse extreme care in checkingfor thread style before installing aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.
If in doubt, we recommend thatyou consult an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.
