What to do in an emergency
CAUTION
-
Replacing lug
nuts
Make
certain
during
removal that the same nuts that
were removed are reinstalled - or,
if replaced, that nuts with metric
threads and the same chamfer
configuration are used. Your
vehicle has metric threads on the
wheel studs and nuts. Installation
of a non-metric thread nut on a
metric stud will not secure the
wheel to the hub properly and
will damage the stud so that it
must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket lug
nuts or wheels. If in doubt, consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle with
wheel
damaged 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.
To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing the
spare tire. Adjust it to the specified
pressure, if necessary. Refer to
"Tires and wheels" in section 8.
Important - use of compact spare
-
Wheel studs
tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for
temporary use only.
• You should drive carefully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be replaced
by the proper conventional tire and
rim at the first opportunity.
• The operation of this vehicle is not
recommended with more than one
compact spare tire in use at the
same time.
