Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise. 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 extension pipe over
the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every other nut
until they are all tight. Then double-check each
nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have
a technician tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is
lower than recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure.Ifitistoohigh,adjustituntilitiscorrect.
Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not re-
placed, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a
valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as
possible.

Your car can be damaged if towed incor-
rectly!
CAUTION:
If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. This will help assure that your car is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals are
generally aware of state and local laws govern-
ing towing. In any case, rather than risk damage
to your car, it is suggested that you show this
information to the tow truck operator. Be sure
that a safety chain system is used and that all
state and local laws are observed.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place and return the jack and
tools to their proper storage locations.
