If you have a tire gage, 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. If it is hard to secure

the flat tire, put the flat tire in the lug-

gage compartment.

nut until they are tight. After

changing tires, have an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer tighten the

lug nuts to their proper torque as

soon as possible. The wheel lug

nut should be tightened to

79~94 lbf·ft (11~13 kgf·m).

installing the compact spare tire.

The compact spare tire should be

inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa).

• Do not take this vehicle through an

automatic car wash while the com-

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.

• 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.

WARNING

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.

• NEVER operate your vehicle

over 50 mph (80 km/h).

• Do not exceed the vehicle's

maximum load rating or the

load carrying capacity shown

on the sidewall of the com-

pact spare tire.

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.

• Do not use more than one compact

spare tire at a time.

tire continuously. Repair or

replace the original tire as

soon as possible to avoid fail-

ure of the compact spare tire.

NOTICE

are repaired and reinstalled on the

vehicle, the lug nut torque must be

set correctly. The correct lug nut

tightening torque is 79~94 lbf·ft

(11~13 kgf·m).
