WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3- 11
Lower the car to the ground by turning
the wheel nut wrench counterclock-
wise. Then position the wrench as
shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not stand
on the wrench handle or use an exten-
sion pipe over the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every
other nut until they are all tight. Then
double-check each nut for tightness.
After changing wheels, have a techni-
cian tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.

After Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure.
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 replaced,
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 luggage room and return the jack
and tools to their proper storage loca-
tions.

IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE
TOWED
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 damaged in towing. Also, profes-
sionals are generally aware of local
laws governing towing. In any case,
rather than risk damage to your car, it
is suggested that you show this infor-
mation to the tow truck operator. Be
sure that a safety chain system 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.
