What to do in an emergency
Important - use of temporary
compact spare tire
CAUTION
WARNING - Wheel studs
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.
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.
If your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire, it will take up less
space than a regular-size tire.This tire
is smaller than a conventional tire and
is designed for temporary use only.
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.

Check the inflation pressures
soon as possible after
installing the spare tire. Adjust
it to the specified pressure, if
necessary. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” section 8.
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.
Do not use more than one
compact spare tire at a time.
