Hyundai EQUUS 2016, Owner'S Manual

Put the wrench as shown in the
above illustration, and tighten the
wheel nuts. Make sure the sockets
are completely tightened over the
nuts. Do not step on the wrench han-
dle, neither use an extension pipe
over the wrench handle. Go around
the wheel nuts to securely tight.
Then, double-check the tightness of
each nut. After changing wheels by
yourself, immediately have an
authorized EQUUS dealer tighten
the wheel nuts with a proper torque.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)
When you have a tire gauge, remove
the valve cap and check the air pres-
sure. When it is under-inflated than
recommended, slowly drive to the
nearest service station and inflate
the tire to the correct pressure. When
it is over-inflated, deflate the tire to
the proper pressure. Always close
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting a tire pressure. When the
cap is not closed, air may leak out
from the tire. When you lose a valve
cap, immediately buy a new one and
close the valve.
After changing a wheel, always put
the flat tire in place and place the
jack and other tools in the proper
storage locations.

What to do in an emergency
OVI065011N
When your vehicle uses metric
threads for the wheel studs and
nuts, the same nuts should be
used after removal - or, if
replaced, the nuts of the same
metric threads and the chamfer
configuration are used.
Tightening a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud or vice
versa may lead to a loose wheel
securement to the hub, damag-
ing the stud and requiring
another stud/nut replacement.
Note that most lug nuts do not
have metric threads.
Pay
extreme attention to the thread
type when installing the lug
nuts or wheels, which are not
yet authorized. When in doubt,
consult an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
CAUTION
- Wheel studs
When a stud is damaged, it may
lose its ability to retain a wheel.
This may lead to loss of the
wheel and a collision, resulting
in a serious injury.
