WARNING - Changing a tire

• To prevent vehicle movement

while changing a tire, always

set the parking brake fully,

and always block the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel

being changed.

• We recommend that the

wheels of the vehicle be

blocked, and that no person

remain in a vehicle that is

being jacked.

4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,

jack, jack handle, and spare tire

from the vehicle.

6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-

terclockwise one turn each, but do

not remove any nut until the tire

has been raised off the ground.

5. Block both the front and rear of the

wheel that is diagonally opposite

the jack position.

9. Loosen the wheel 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 holes

with the studs and slide the wheel

onto them. If this is difficult, tip the

wheel slightly and get the top hole

in 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.

7. Place the jack at the front or rear 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack

jacking position closest to the tire

you are changing. Place the jack

at the designated locations under

the frame.

and turn it clockwise, raising the

vehicle until the tire just clears the

ground. This measurement is

approximately 1.2 in (30 mm).

Before removing the wheel lug

nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-

ble and that there is no chance for

movement or slippage.

WARNING - Jack location

To reduce the possibility of

injury, be sure to use only the

jack provided with the vehicle

and in the correct jack position;

never use any other part of the

vehicle for jack support.

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on

the studs, put the wheel nuts on

the studs and tighten them finger

tight. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten

the nuts as much as possible

with your fingers again.

WARNING

Wheels may have sharp edges.

Handle them carefully to avoid

possible severe injury. Before

putting the wheel into place, be

sure that there is nothing on the

hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,

gravel, etc.) that prevents with

the wheel from fitting solidly

against the hub.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

OLM069007

If there is, remove it. If contact of

the mounting surface between

the wheel and hub is not good,

the wheel nuts could come

loose and cause the loss of a

wheel. Loss of a wheel may

result in loss of control of the

vehicle. This may cause serious

injury or death.

Then position the wrench as shown in

the drawing and tighten the wheel

nuts. Be sure the socket is seated

completely over the nut. Do not stand

on the wrench handle or use an exten-

sion pipe over the wrench handle. Go

around the wheel tightening every nut

following the numerical sequence

shown in the image until they are all

tight. Then double-check each nut for

tightness. After changing wheels, have

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer tight-

en the wheel nuts to their proper

torque as soon as possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:

65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)

What to do in an emergency

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 tire pressure. If the cap is

not replaced, dust and dirt may get

into the tire valve and air may leak

from the tire. If you lose a valve cap,

buy another and install it as soon as

possible.

CAUTION

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.

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.

To prevent the jack, jack handle,

wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire

from rattling while the vehicle is in

motion, store them properly.

After you have changed wheels,

always secure the flat tire in its place

and return the jack and tools to their

proper storage locations.

WARNING - Inadequate

spare tire pressure

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 an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Check the inflation pressures as

soon as possible after installing

the spare tire. Adjust it to the

specified pressure, if necessary.

Refer to “Tires and wheels” sec-

tion 8.

What to do in an emergency

Important - use of compact spare tire

Your vehicle is equipped with a com-

pact spare tire. This compact spare

tire takes up less space than a regu-

lar-size tire.This tire is smaller than a

conventional tire and is designed for

temporary use only.

When using a compact spare tire,

observe the following precautions:

WARNING

The compact spare tire is for

emergency use only. Do not

operate your vehicle on this

compact spare at speeds over

50 mph (80 km/h). The original

tire should be repaired or

replaced as soon as is possible

to avoid failure of the spare

possibly leading to personal

injury or death.

• Under no circumstances should

you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a

higher speed could damage the

tire.

• Ensure that you drive slowly

enough for the road conditions to

avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,

such as a pothole or debris, could

seriously damage the compact

spare.

CAUTION

• You should drive carefully

when the compact spare is in

use. The compact spare

should be replaced by the

proper conventional tire and

rim at the first opportunity.

• Any continuous road use of this tire

could result in tire failure, loss of

vehicle control, and possible per-

sonal injury.

The compact spare should be inflat-

ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).

• The operation of this vehicle

is not recommended with

more than one compact spare

tire in use at the same time.

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-

mum load rating or the load-carry-

ing capacity shown on the sidewall

of the compact spare tire.

✽

NOTICE

Check the inflation pressure after

installing the spare tire. Adjust it to

the specified pressure, as necessary.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is

smaller than the diameter of a con-

ventional tire and reduces the

ground clearance approximately 1

inch (25 mm), which could result in

damage to the vehicle.

be used on any other wheels, nor

should standard tires, snow tires,

wheel covers or trim rings be used

with the compact spare wheel. If

such use is attempted, damage to

these items or other car compo-

nents may occur.

• Do not use tire chains on the com-

pact spare tire. Because of the

smaller size, a tire chain will not fit

properly. This could damage the

vehicle and result in loss of the

chain.

• Do not use more than one compact

spare tire at a time.

pact spare tire is installed.

• Do not use the compact spare tire

on any other vehicle because this

tire has been designed especially

for your vehicle.

CAUTION

When the original tire and wheel

are repaired and reinstalled on

the vehicle, the wheel nut torque

must be set correctly to prevent

wheel vibration. The correct

wheel nut tightening torque is

65~79lb-ft (9~11kg.m).

• The compact spare tire’s tread life

is shorter than a regular tire.

Inspect your compact spare tire

regularly and replace worn com-

pact spare tires with the same size

and design, mounted on the same

wheel.
