Adjustment After Headlight Assembly
Replacement
If the vehicle has had front body repair and the
headlight assembly has been replaced, the
headlight aiming should be checked using an
aiming chart as shown in the illustration. Turn on
the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1 . Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is
parallel to center line of the body and is
aligned with point "P" shown in the illustration.
2 . Dotted lines in the illustration show the center
of headlights.

6 . Draw the vertical line (through the center of
each headlight beam pattern) and the hori-
zontal line (through the center of each head-
light beam pattern) on the aiming screen.
And then, draw a parallel line at 0.8 in. (21
mm) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the
parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -
VERTICAL AIMING.
WARNING:Horizontal aiming should be adjusted by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Before performing aiming adjustment, make
sure of the following.
1 . Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2 . Place the vehicle on level ground and press
the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-
eral times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3m)
from the test wall.
3 . See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for
full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and
spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driver
or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4 . Clean the head light lenses and turn on the
headlights (Low beam).
5 . Open the hood.

TIRE INFORMATION
The tires supplied on your new Hyundai are
chosen to provide the best performance for
normal driving.

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the
number used in registering your car and in all
legal matters pertaining to its ownership, etc. It
can be found in four different places on your car:
1. On the bulkhead between the engine and
passenger compartments.
2 . On the left top side of the instrument panel
where it can be seen by looking down through
the windshield.
3. Door edge post.
4 . On the lower side of the center pillar outer
panel.
The engine number is stamped on the engine
block as shown in the drawing.The tire label located on the driver's side of the
center pillar outer panel gives the tire pressures
recommended for your vehicle.

SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, they should
be the same size and have the same load
capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should
be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor
handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's
side of the center pillar , or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever
is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.

These pressures were chosen to provide the
most satisfactory combination of ride comfort,
tire wear and stability under normal conditions.
Tire pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION:Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold.
That is, after the car has been parked for
at least three hours and hasn't been
driven more than one mile or 1.6 km since
starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.o Never overload your car. Be especially
careful about overloading if you equip
your car with a luggage rack or car top
carrier.
CAUTION:!
!
I050A03A-AAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue
to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:o When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30
km/h).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic
chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains con-
tacting the body, retighten the chain to
avoid contact with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, retighten the
chains after driving 0.3 ~ 0.6 miles.

TIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn
tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on
slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-
placed when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control, slow
down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the
road.
I070A01A-AAT
TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.
I090A01A-AAT
WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. The tread wear indicators appear
when the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The
tire should be replaced when these appear as
a solid bar across two or more grooves of the
tread. Always replace your tires with those of
the recommended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet
Hyundai specification.

I060A01O-AAT
TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles
(12,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearing
unevenly between rotations, have the car
checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may
be corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be
sure to check wheel nut torque.
CAUTION:Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply under
any circumstances. This may cause dan-
gerous handling characteristics.
