Emergency Situations
WARNING
Your vehicle has metric threads on the
studs and wheel nuts. During tire
changing, make sure that the wheel 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 make sure the
wheel is properly secured to the hub.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
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.
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 a
collision:
• 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.
8-16
When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash after the compact
spare tire has been 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.
NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the wheel nut torque must be set
correctly. The correct wheel nut
tightening torque is 79-94 lbf.ft (11-13
kgf.m).
