Changing tires

(Continued)

• ALWAYS place the jack on the

designated jacking positions

on the vehicle and NEVER on

the bumpers or any other part

of the vehicle for jacking sup-

port.

WARNING

A vehicle can slip or roll off of a

jack causing serious injury or

death to you or those nearby.

Take the following safety pre-

cautions:

• Do not start or run the engine

while the vehicle is on the

jack.

• Do not get under a vehicle

that is supported by a jack.

• Do not allow anyone to remain

in the vehicle while it is on the

jack.

• NEVER attempt to change a

tire 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 tire. If you cannot find a

level, firm place off the road,

call a towing service for assis-

tance.

If it is hard to loosen the tire hold-

down wing bolt by hand, you can

loosen it easily using the jack handle.

the tire hold-down wing bolt.

7. Place the jack at the designated 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack

jacking position under the frame

closest to the tire you are chang-

ing. The jacking positions are

plates welded to the frame with

two notches and two dimples.

Never jack any other position or

part of the vehicle. It may damage

and turn it clockwise, raising the

vehicle until the tire clears the

ground. Make sure the vehicle is

stable on the jack.

by turning the jack handle coun-

terclockwise.

6-20

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.

CAUTION

Your vehicle has metric threads

on the studs and lug nuts. Make

certain during tire 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 an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

assistance.

OTL065007

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 tires, we recommend

that an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer tighten the lug nuts to their

proper torque as soon as possi-

ble. The wheel lug nut should

be tightened to 9~11 kgf·m

(65~79 lbf·ft).

NOTICE

6

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.

Check the tire pressure as soon

as possible after installing a spare

tire. Adjust it to the recommended

pressure.

What to do in an emergency

When driving with the compact spare

tire mounted to your vehicle:

Use of compact spare tires

(if equipped)

NOTICE

When the original tire and wheel

are repaired and reinstalled on the

vehicle, the lug nut torque must be

set correctly. The correct lug nut

tightening torque is 9-11 kgf·m

(65-79 lbf·ft).

• Check the tire pressure after

installing the compact spare tire.

The compact spare tire should be

inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).

Compact spare tires are designed for

emergency use only. Drive carefully

on the compact spare tire and

always follow the safety precautions.

• Do not take this vehicle through an

automatic car wash while the com-

pact spare tire is installed.

WARNING

• Do not use the compact spare tire

on any other vehicle because this

tire has been designed especially

for your vehicle.

To prevent compact spare tire

failure and loss of control pos-

sibly resulting in an accident:

• Use the compact spare tire

only in an emergency.

• The compact spare tire’s tread life is

shorter than a regular tire. Inspect

your compact spare tire regularly

and replace worn compact spare

tires with the same size and design,

mounted on the same wheel.

• NEVER operate your vehicle

over 80 km/h (50 mph).

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s

maximum load rating or the

load carrying capacity shown

on the sidewall of the com-

pact spare tire.

• Do not use more than one compact

spare tire at a time.

• Do not tow a trailer while the com-

pact spare tire is installed.

• Do not use the compact spare

tire continuously. Repair or

replace the original tire as

soon as possible to avoid fail-

ure of the compact spare tire.
