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.
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.
