Hyundai Elantra 2024 Owner's Manual page 423

Check the tire pressure after installing the
compact spare tire. The compact spare
tire should be inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa).
If you have a tire gauge, check the spare
tire pressure (refer to the "Tires and
Wheels" section in chapter 10 for tire
pressure instructions.). If the spare tire
pressure is lower or higher than the
recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and adjust to the
recommended pressure.
Always reinstall the valve cap after
checking or adjusting the 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.
WARNING
• Your vehicle has metric threads on the
studs and wheel nuts. During tire
changing, make sure that the 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 the wheel studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain the
wheel. This may cause loss of the wheel
and a collision resulting in serious
injuries.
If any of the equipment such as 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.
When driving on 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.
