Reinstall Wheel Nuts; Lower Vehicle And Tighten Nuts - Hyundai 2001 Sonata Owner's Manual

WARNING:
Wheel covers may have sharp edges. Han-
dle them carefully to avoid possible severe
injury. Before putting the wheel into place,
be 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 sur-
face between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could 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.
