9.Loosen the wheel nuts with the wheel
lug wrench and remove them with your
fingers. Remove the wheel from the
studs and lay it flat on the ground out of
the way. Remove any dirt or debris from
the studs, mounting surfaces, and
spare tire.
WARNING
Because the wheels may have sharp
edges, handle them carefully to avoid
possible severe injury. Before putting
the wheel into place, make sure that
there is nothing on the hub or wheel
(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that
interferes with the wheel from fitting
solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good
contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts may come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.
10.Install the spare tire onto the studs of
the hub.
11.Tighten the wheel nuts with your
fingers onto the studs with the smaller
end of the wheel nuts closest to the
wheel.
12.Lower the vehicle to the ground by
turning the jack handle
counterclockwise.
13.Use the wheel lug nut wrench to
tighten the wheel nuts in the order
shown. Double-check each wheel nut
until they are tight. After changing tires,
have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
tighten the lug nuts to their proper
torque as soon as possible.
Tighten wheel nuts to 79-94 lbf.ft (11-13
kgf.m).

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 tire
pressure (refer to the "Tires And Wheels"
section in chapter 2 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 it 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.
