Wheel Nut Tightening Torque - Hyundai EON Owner's Manual

What to do in an emergency

Wheel nut tightening torque:

Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
9~11 kg·m (65~79 lb·ft)
If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. If
the pressure is lower than recommend-
ed, drive slowly to the nearest service
station and inflate to the correct pres-
sure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap
after checking or adjusting tyre pressure.
If the cap is not replaced, air may leak
from the tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always
secure the flat tyre in its place and return
the jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make cer-
tain during wheel removal that the
same nuts that were removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that
nuts with metric threads and the
same chamfer configuration are
used. Installation of a non-metric
thread nut on a metric stud or vice-
versa will not secure the wheel to
the hub properly and will damage
the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, we
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
- Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may
lose their ability to retain the wheel.
This could lead to a loss of the
wheel and a collision resulting in
serious injuries.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
lug nut wrench and spare tyre from rat-
tling while the vehicle is in motion, store
them properly.
WARNING -
Inadequate
spare tyre pressure
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing the
spare tyre. Adjust it to the specified
pressure, if necessary. Refer to
"Tires and
section 10.
