7. Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tire you are changing.
The jacking positions are plates
welded to the frame with two
notches. Never jack at any other
position or part of the vehicle. Doing
so may damage the side seal molding
or other parts of the vehicle.
ONX4OB081014ONX4OB081014
8. Insert the jack handle into the jackand
turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tire just clears the ground.
This measurement is approximately
1.2 inches (30 mm). Before removing
the wheellug nuts, make sure the
vehicle is stable and that there is no
chance for movement or slippage.
9. Loosen the lug nuts with the wheel
lug nut wrench and remove them with
your fingers. Remove the wheel from
the studs and lay it flat on the ground
out of the way. Remove any dirt or
debris from the studs, mounting
mounting surfaces and wheel.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle
them carefully to avoid possible severe
injury. Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is nothing on
the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly against the
hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.

10. Install the spare tire onto the studs of
the hub.
11. Tighten the lug nuts with your fingers
onto the studs with the smaller end of
the lug nuts closest to the wheel.
12. Lower the vehicle to the ground
by turning the jack handle
counterclockwise.
OTL065007OTL065007
13. Use the wheel lug wrench to tighten
the wheel nuts in the order shown.
Double-check each wheel nuts until
they are tight. After changing tires,
have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
tighten the wheel nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible. The wheel
nuts should be tightened to 79~94
lbf.ft (11~13 kgf.m).
If you have a tire gauge, check the
tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels”
section in chapter 2 for tire pressure
instructions.). If the pressure is lower or
higher than recommended, drive slowly
to the nearest service station and adjust
it to the recommended pressure. 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
changing tires, secure the flat tire and
return the jack and tools to their proper
storage locations.
NOTICE
Check the tire pressure as soon as
possible after installing a spare tire.
Adjust it to the recommended pressure.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the
studs and wheel nuts. Make certain
during tire changing that the same nuts
that were removed are reinstalled. If
you have to replace your wheel nuts
make sure they have metric threads to
avoid damaging the studs and ensure
the wheel is properly secured to the
hub. Consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.
WARNING
Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may lose
their ability to retain the wheel. This
could lead to the loss of the wheel and a
collision resulting in serious injuries.
If any of the equipment such as the jack,
wheel nuts, studs, or other equipment
is damaged or in poor condition, do not
attempt to change the tire and call for
assistance.

Emergency Situations
8-20
Use of compact spare tires
Compact spare tires are designed for
emergency use only. Drive carefully on
the compact spare tire and always follow
the safety precautions.
WARNING
To prevent compact spare tire failure
and loss of control possibly resulting in
an accident:
• Use the compact spare tire only in an
emergency.
• NEVER operate your vehicle over 50
mph (80 km/h).
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the load
carrying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare tire.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
continuously. Repair or replace the
original tire as soon as possible to
avoid failure of the compact spare
tire.
When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 60 psi
(420 kPa).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer while the compact
spare tire is installed.
Information
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
wheel nuts torque must be set correctly.
The correct wheel nuts tightening torque
is 79~94 lbf.ft (11~13 kgf.m).
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.

Storing the Flat Tire
The full size flat tire should be stored
and fixed in the vehicle until you reach
a service station.
Information
Do not store the flat tire on the spare
tire carrier underneath your vehicle.
ONX4OB081025ONX4OB081025
1. Take out the strap which is stored in
the storage box under the right rear
seat. Connect the two straps with the
buckle, if necessary, before using the
strap to fix the flat tire.
2. Place the flat tire on the floor of the
bed area.
3. Pass one end of the strap through the
wheel center and connect both strap
hooks to each D-rings (A-A’ or B-B’).
ONX4OB081026ONX4OB081026
4. Pull the strap (1) to tighten the strap
firmly.
5. Try moving the flat tire to see if it is
properly secured.
CAUTION
Never leave the flat tire unfixed in the
vehicle. An unsecured flat tire may
cause damage to the vehicle when the
vehicle makes sharp turns, suddenly
stops, or is in an accident.

TOWING
Towing Service
A
ONX4OB081016ONX4OB081016[A] : Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
For FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle using a tow truck as long as
the front wheels (which are the drive
wheels) are off the ground. The rear
wheels can be on the ground without the
use of dollies.
For AWD vehicles, all wheels must be off
the ground. Therefore, a flat bed trailer is
recommended.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
NOTICE
Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting
or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
ONX4OB081017ONX4OB081017
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

position.
3. Change the gear to N (Neutral) while
pressing the brake pedal.
4. Place the ignition switch to the ACC
position.
CAUTION
Failure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
may cause internal damage to the
transmission.
