Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)
If you have a tyre 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 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 pos-
sible.
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 rattling whilst the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.
Make certain during wheel
removal that the same nuts that
were removed are reinstalled -
or, if replaced, that nuts with
metric threads and the same
chamfer configuration are used.
Installation of a non-metric
thread nut on a metric stud or
vice-versa will not secure the
wheel to the hub properly and
will damage the stud so that it
must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not
have metric threads. Be sure to
use extreme care in checking
for thread style before installing
aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.
If in doubt, consult a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
WARNING- Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to the
loss of the wheel and a collision
resulting in serious 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 “Tyres and
wheels” in section 8.

Important - use of compact spare
tyre (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tyre. This compact spare
tyre takes up less space than a reg-
ular-size tyre. This tyre is smaller
than a conventional tyre and is
designed for temporary use only.
The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).
✽NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tyre. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tyre,
observe the following precautions:
• Under no circumstances should
you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a
higher speed could damage the
tyre.
• Ensure that you drive slowly
enough to avoid all hazards. Any
road hazard, such as a pothole or
debris, could seriously damage the
compact spare.
• Any continuous road use of this
tyre could result in tyre failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-
mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tyre.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tyre diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm), which could result in
damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
• You should drive carefully
when the compact spare is in
use. The compact spare
should be replaced by the
proper conventional tyre and
rim at the first opportunity.
• The operation of this vehicle
is not recommended with
more than one compact spare
tyre in use at the same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tyre is for
emergency use only. Do not
operate your vehicle on this
compact spare at the speed
over 80 km/h (50 mph). The
original tyre should be repaired
or replaced as soon as possible
to avoid failure of the spare
possibly leading to personal
injury or death.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE (WITH TYREMOBILITYKIT, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the TyreMobilityKit.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottleIntroduction
With the TyreMobilityKit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tyre puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortably
seals most punctures in a passenger
car tyre caused by nails or similar
objects and reinflates the tyre. After you
ensure that the tyre is properly sealed
you can drive cautiously on the tyre (up
to 120 miles (200 km)) at a max. speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) in order to reach a
vehicle or tyre dealer to have the tyre
replaced.It is possible that some tyres, especial-
ly with larger punctures or damage to
the sidewall, cannot be sealed com-
pletely. Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TyreMobilityKit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tyre repair
method and is to be used for one tyre
only. This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the punc-
ture simply and reliably. Read the sec-
tion "Notes on the safe use of the
TyreMobilityKit".
OYN069010OYN069018
WARNING
Do not use the TyreMobilityKit if
a tyre is severely damaged by
driving run flat or with insuffi-
cient air pressure. Only punc-
tured areas located within the
tread region of the tyre can be
sealed using the TyreMobilityKit.
Damage to the sidewall must not
be repaired due to safety rea-
sons.

inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.- To reduce the inflation pres-
sure:Press the button 8 on the
compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
WARNING
The tyre inflation pressure must
be at least 32 psi (2.2 bar). If it is
not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or
towing.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 35
mph (60 km/h). If possible, do
not fall below a speed of 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Whilst driving, if you experience
any unusual vibration, ride dis-
turbance or noise, reduce your
speed and drive with caution
until you can safely pull off of
the side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-
ing.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a
second time, refer to
Distributing the sealant. Then
repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TyreMobilityKit may
be ineffectual for tyre damage
larger than approximately 0.16
in (4 mm).

Notes on the safe use of the
TyreMobilityKit
• Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
TyreMobilityKit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
• To be sure your vehicle won't
move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
• Only use the TyreMobilityKit for
sealing/inflation passenger car
tyres. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tyres.
• Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tyre.
• Before using the TyreMobilityKit,
read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.• Never leave the TyreMobilityKit
unattended whilst it is being used.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)
(1) Low tyre pressure telltale /
TPMS malfunction indicator
(2) Low tyre pressure position tell-
tale (Shown on the LCD display)
Each tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly 1 minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the TPMS malfunction
indicator remains illuminated after
blinking for approximately 1 minute,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tyre pressure as intend-
ed. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tyres or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres
and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.
