safety precautions:

śꢀ Do not get under a vehicle that is

supported by a jack.

śꢀ NEVER attempt to change a tyre in

the lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the

vehicle completely off the road on

level, firm ground away from traffic

before trying to change a tyre. If you

cannot find a level, firm place off

the road, call a towing service for

assistance.

[A] : Block

5. Block both the front and rear of the

tyre diagonally opposite of the tyre

you are changing.

śꢀ Be sure to use the jack provided with

lug nut wrench and remove them

with your fingers. Remove the wheel

from the studs and lay it flat on the

ground out of the way. Remove any

dirt or debris from the studs, mounting

surfaces, and wheel.

10. Install the spare tyre onto the studs

of the hub.

11. Tighten the lug nuts with your fingers

onto the studs with the smaller end of

the lug nuts closest to the wheel.

12. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the jack handle

counterclockwise.

7. Place the jack at the designated

jacking position under the frame

closest to the tyre you are changing.

The jacking positions are plates

welded to the frame with two notches.

Never jack any other position or part

of the vehicle. Doing so may damage

the side seal molding or other parts of

the vehicle.

OBC3080009

13. Use the wheel lug nut wrench to

tighten the lug nuts in the order

shown. Double-check each lug nut

until they are tight. After changing

tyres, we recommend that a

OBC3080008

HYUNDAI authorised repairer tighten

the lug nuts to their proper torque as

soon as possible. The wheel lug nut

should be tightened to 11~13kgf.m

(79~94 lbf.ft, 107~127N.m).

8.Insert the jack handle into the jack and

turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle

until the tyre clears the ground. Make

sure the vehicle is stable on the jack.

If you have a tyre gauge, check the tyre

pressure (see “Tyres and Wheels” in

chapter 2 for tyre pressure instructions.).

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 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 possible. After

changing tyres, secure the flat tyre and

return the jack and tools to their proper

storage locations.

Use of compact spare tyres

(if equipped)

Compact spare tyres are designed for

emergency use only. Drive carefully

on the compact spare tyre and always

follow the safety precautions.

CAUTION

Your vehicle has metric threads on

the studs and lug nuts. Make certain

during tyre changing that the same

nuts that were removed are reinstalled.

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

a HYUNDAI authorised repairer for

assistance.

If any of the equipment such as the jack,

lug nuts, studs, or other equipment is

damaged or in poor condition, do not

attempt to change the tyre and call for

assistance.
