What to do in an emergency
If you have a tire gauge, check the
tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels”
in chapter 8 for tire pressure instruc
tions.). If the pressure is lower or
higher than recommended, drive
slowly to the nearest service station
and adjust it to the recommended
pressure. Always reinstall the valve
cap after checking or adjusting tire
pressure. If the cap is not replaced,
air may leak from the tire. If you lose
a valve cap, buy another and install it
as soon as possible. After changing
tires, secure the flat tire and return
the jack and tools to their proper stor
age locations.
Information
Check the tire pressure as soon as pos
sible after installing a spare tire.
Adjust it to the recommended pres
sure.
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the studs and lug nuts. Make certain
during tire changing that the same
nuts that were removed are rein
stalled. If you have to replace your
lug nuts make sure they have metric
threads to avoid damaging the studs
and ensure the wheel is properly
secured to the hub. We recommend
that you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the
jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip
ment is damaged or in poor condi
tion, do not attempt to change the
tire and call for assistance.

What to do in an emergency
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial towtruck ser vice.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
or flatbed is recommended. It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the front wheels
off the ground. If any of the loaded
wheels or suspension 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 lifted, not the rear.
•Do not tow the vehicle with the
front wheels on the ground as this
may cause damage to the vehicle.
•Do not tow with slingtype equip
ment. Use a wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
