torque 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.

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.
WARNING

Avoid driving over obstacles. Acompact spare tire diameter is
smaller than one of an original tire,
and the ground clearance is short-
er by approximately 1 inch (25
mm). This may damage you vehi-
cle.
Do drive through an automatic car wash while the compact spare tire
is installed.
Do not use tire chains on a com- pact spare tire. Because of the size
difference, a tire chain will not tight-
ly fit. This may result in loss of the
chain and damage the vehicle.
Do not use your compact spare tire on any other vehicles. This com-
pact spare tire is designed exclu-
sively for your vehicle.
The tread life of a compact spare tire is shorter than other regular
tires. Inspect your compact spare
tire on a regular basis, and, if worn
out, replace it with the one of the
same size and the same design.
A compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor
should a compact spare wheel be
used for standard tires, snow tires,
snow tire wheel covers or snow tire
trim rings. This attempt may dam-
age the above items or other com-
ponents.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at the same time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed. When a tire or a wheel is repaired
or reinstalled, the wheel nut
torque must be correctly set to
prevent any wheel vibrations. The
correct wheel nut torque is 65 ~ 79
lb-ft (9 ~ 11 kg.m).NOTICE

Maintenance
The use of an unauthorized fluid
may result in transmission mal-
function and failure. Use only the
authorized automatic transmis-
sion fluid. (Refer to “Recommended
lubricants and capacities” in the
chapter 8.)
Brake hoses and lines
Confirm the proper installation, and
check for any frictions, cracks, dete-
rioration and leakage. If necessary,
immediately replace any deteriorated
or damaged parts.
Brake fluid
Check the brake fluid level. The level
should be between “MIN” and “MAX”
marks on the reservoir. Use only the
hydraulic brake fluid, which meet the
requirements of the DOT3/DOT4
specifications.
Brake discs, pads, calipers
and rotors
Check the pads and the disc for any
excessive wear-out, and inspect
calipers for any fluid leakage.
Exhaust pipe and muffler
Inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for any cracks, deterio-
rations, or damages. Start the
engine, and listen carefully for any
gas leaking noise. If necessary, tight-
en connections or replace the dam-
aged parts.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for any looseness or damage. If nec-
essary, retighten the bolt to the spec-
ified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
After stopping the vehicle and turn-
ing off the engine, confirm the steer-
ing locking (tightening).
Check the bends for any linkage or
damage. Check the dust boots and
ball joints for any deterioration,
cracks, or damage. If necessary,
replace the damaged parts.
Power steering pump, belt and
hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for any leakage or damage. If
necessary, immediately replace any
damaged or leaking parts. Inspect
the power steering belt (or drive belt)
for any cuts, cracks, excessive wear-
out, oil saturation or looseness. If
necessary, replace or adjust the
damaged part.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for any cracks, deterioration,
or damage. If necessary, replace or
grease the damaged part.
Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for any leakage or dam-
age.

Information
It is permissible to increase the tire pressure by 3psi from the standard specifi-
cation, when a cold temperature is expected soon. A tire typically loses its pres-
sure by 1psi for every 12°F temperature drop. When an extreme temperature
variation is expected, frequently check your tire pressure to keep them properly
inflated.

While replacing tires, use a new one of the same size as the original-
ly supplied tire. Using tires of a different size may damage the relat-
ed parts or cause irregular operation.
