Emergency situations
When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:

[ &KHFNWKHW\UHSUHVVXUHDIWHULQVWDOOLQJ
the compact spare tyre. The compact
spare tyre should be inflated to 420
kPa (60 psi).

your compact spare tyre regularly and
replace worn compact spare tyres with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.

NOTICE
When the original tyre and wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nut torque must be
set correctly. The correct lug nut
tightening torque is 11~13kgf.m (79~94
lbf.ft, 107~127N.m).
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tyre and your vehicle:

[Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.

[Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tyre diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 25
mm (1 inch).

[Do not use tyre chains on the
compact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly.

[Do not use the compact spare tyre
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.

Maintenance
Recommended cold tyre
inflation pressures
All tyre pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tyres are
cold. “Cold tyres” means the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours
or driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended cold tyre pressures by 28
to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air
from warm tyres to adjust the pressure
or the tyres will be under-inflated. For
recommended inflation pressure, refer
to “Tyre and Wheels” in chapter 2.
WARNING
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tyre wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tyre failure that could result in loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Severe under-inflation can lead
to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and other
tyre failures that can result in the
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. This risk is much higher on
hot days and when driving for long
periods at high speeds.
NOTICE

[ 8QGHULQIODWLRQDOVRUHVXOWVLQ
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tyre pressures at the proper
levels. If a tyre frequently needs
refilling, we recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

[ 2YHULQIODWLRQSURGXFHVDKDUVKULGH
excessive wear at the centre of the
tyre tread, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Check tyre inflation pressure
Check your tyres including the spare tyre
once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tyre pressure gauge
to check tyre pressure. You cannot tell if
your tyres are properly inflated simply by
looking at them. Radial tyres may look
properly inflated even when they are
under-inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tyre
valve stem. Press the tyre gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tyre inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the tyre and loading
information label, no further adjustment
is necessary. If the pressure is low, add
air until you reach the recommended
pressure. Make sure to put the valve
caps back on the valve stems. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause air
leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install
a new one as soon as possible.
