AFTER CHANGING WHEELS
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 re-install 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 in the trunk and retum the
jack', jack handle, and tools to their proper
storage locations.

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 local laws goveming towing.
In any case, rather than risk damage to your
car, it is suggested that you show this informa-
tion to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a
safety chain system is used and that local laws
are observed.

TOWING A CAR WITH MANUAL
TRANSAXLE

TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
WITH NO DAMAGE
If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake is
released.
If the car is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that the
ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is
necessary to prevent damage to the steer-
ing lock mechanism, which is not designed
to hold the front wheels straight while the car
is being towed.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged, a towing dolly
must be used.
