I080A01A-AATTIRE 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-AATTIRE 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-AATWHEN TO REPLACE TIRESWARNING:
Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control and trac-
tion. When replacing tires, never mix radial
and bias ply tires on the same car. If you
replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they
must be installed in sets of four.
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.
WARNING:o Using tires and wheels of other than the
recommended sizes could cause un-
usual handling characteristics that could
cause death, serious injury, or property
damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's di-
mensional specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the vehicle,
including broken wheel studs.

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 the wheel nut tightness.
WARNING:o Do not use the temporary spare tire for
tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires
under any circumstances. This may
cause unusual handling characteristics
that could result in death, serious injury,
or property damage.

Uniform tire quality grading
Department of Transportation quality grades -
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to
Federal Safety Standards in addition to these
grades. These quality grades are molded on the
sidewall.
Treadwear - The tread wear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1
- 1/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart significantly
from the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and climate.D040B01Y

I130D01A-AATHyundai motor vehicles are designed and manu-
factured to meet or exceed all applicable safety
standards.
For your safety, however, we strongly urge you
to read and follow all directions in this Owner's
Manual, particularly the information under the
headings "NOTE", "CAUTION" and "WARN-
ING".
If, after reading this manual, you have any
questions regarding the operation of your ve-
hicle, please contact your nearest Hyundai
Motor America Regional Office as listed below:
Eastern Region : Connecticut, Delaware, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvanina, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.

Southern Region: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro-
lina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Texas. Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction grades,
from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test sur-
faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING:The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
Temperature A, B, C - The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
WARNING:The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure.
