2012 Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual

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, air may leak from the tire. If
you lose a valve cap, buy another and
install it as soon as possible.
CAUTION
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.
OUN046019
After   you  have   changed   wheels,
always secure the flat tire in its place
and return the jack  and tools to their
proper storage locations.
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  han-
dle. Go around  the wheel  tightening
every other nut until they are all tight.
Then   double-check   each   nut   for
tightness.   After  changing   wheels,
have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
tighten the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.
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.
