WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D060J01E-AAT
After Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
D060J01MC
After changing wheels, have a techni-
cian tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)
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 re-
placed, air may leak from the tire. If
you lose a valve cap, buy another and
install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, al-
ways secure the flat tire in its place in
the trunk and return the jack and tools
to their proper storage locations.
IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE
TOWED
D080A01O-GAT
If your vehicle has to be towed, it should
be done by your Hyundai dealer or a
commercial tow truck service. This will
help assure that your vehicle is not dam-
aged in towing. Also, professionals are
generally aware of local laws governing
towing. In any case, rather than risk dam-
age to your car, it is suggested that you
show this information to the tow truck
operator. Be sure that a safety chain sys-
tem is used and that all local laws are
observed.
It is recommended that your vehicle be
towed with a wheel lift and dollies or
flatbed equipment with all the wheels off
the ground.
!
CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed
incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be
sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the key in the "ACC" position.
