Emergency situations

WARNING

Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle

them carefully to avoid possible severe

injury. Before putting the wheel into

place, be sure that there is nothing on

the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,

gravel, etc.) that interferes with the

wheel from fitting solidly against the

hub.

If there is, remove it. If there is not

good contact on the mounting surface

between the wheel and hub, the wheel

nuts could come loose and cause the

loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may

result in loss of control of the vehicle.

This may cause serious injury or death.

OTM080045L

12. Use the wheel lug wrench to tighten

the wheel bolts in the order shown.

Double-check each wheel bolts until

they are tight. After changing tires,

have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

tighten the wheel bolts to their proper

torque as soon as possible. The wheel

bolt should be tightened to 79~94

lbf.ft (11~13 kgf.m).

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the

studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs

and tighten them finger tight. The

nuts should be installed with their

tapered small diameter ends directed

inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten the

nuts as much as possible with your

fingers again.

If you have a tire gauge, check the

tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels”

section in chapter 2 for tire pressure

instructions.). 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

storage locations.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel lug wrench

counterclockwise.

Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay mobile

even after experiencing a tire puncture.

The compressor and sealing compound

system effectively and comfortably seals

most punctures in a passenger car tire

caused by nails or similar objects and

reinflates the tire.

After you ensure that the tire is properly

sealed you can drive cautiously on the

tire (distance up to 120 miles (200 km))

at a max. speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in

order to reach a service station or tire

dealer for the tire replacement.

It is possible that some tires, especially

with larger punctures or damage to the

sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.

Air pressure loss in the tire may adversely

affect tire performance.

For this reason, you should avoid abrupt

steering or other driving maneuvers,

especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded

or if a trailer is in use.

OTM080007

For safe operation, carefully read and

follow the instructions in this manual

before use.
