To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs,
put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them
finger tight. The nuts should be installed with their
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.Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise. Then position the
wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the
wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated com-
pletely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench
handle or use an extension 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
technician tighten the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.

If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is
lower than recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
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, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck
service. This will help assure that your car is not
damaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen-

towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to
your car, it is suggested that you show this
information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that
a safety chain system is used and that all state

Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it
again. Then note the highest level the oil has
reached on the dipstick. It should be between
the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.
If the oil level is close to or below the "LOW"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "FULL" mark.
To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-

2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not
overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "FULL" and "LOW"

CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). Set the parking
brake.
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil
filler cap.

be compatible with aluminum engine parts.
Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must be main-

The coolant level can be seen on the side of the

lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.
If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add
engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW"

coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-quently. If the level drops again, visit your
Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis
of the reason.

2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place.
Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow
all the engine coolant to drain from the
cooling system, then securely close the drain
