Lower the car to the ground by turning the
wheel nut wrench counterclockwise. Then posi-
tion the wrench as shown in the drawing and
tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is
seated completely 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 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
generally aware of state and local laws govern-
ing towing. In any case, rather than risk dam-
age 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 and local laws are observed.
