DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
132
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. As soon as the engine
is running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, however, give your en-
gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug-
ging is driving too slowly in too high a gear
resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap-
pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is
racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This
can be avoided by shifting at the recom-
mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.
WINTER DRIVING
SMOOTH CORNERING
C160A01A-AATThe more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To
minimize the problems of winter driving, you
should follow these suggestions:C160B01A-AATSnowy or Icy ConditionsTo drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tire
chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it
is necessary to select tires equivalent in size
and type to the original equipment tires. Failure
to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous
practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance between
the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle.
Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that installing tire chains on the tire will provide
a greater driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states. Check
state laws before fitting tire chains.
C150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor-
ners should always be taken under gentle
acceleration. If you follow these suggestions,
tire wear will be held to a minimum.

TRAILER TOWING
USE OF LIGHTS
C190A01A-AATYour Hyundai should not be used to tow a
trailer. It is designed to be compact and light
for good fuel economy, and is not designed as
a trailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunc-
tions caused by towing may not be covered by
the limited warranties applying to your Hyundai.
Damages or malfunctions that result from tow-
ing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifi-
cally not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.
C180A01A-AATCheck your lights regularly for correct opera-
tion and always keep them clean. When driv-
ing during the day in conditions of poor visibil-
ity, it is helpful to drive with headlights on low
beam. This enables you to be seen as well as
to see.

SPARE TIRE
Spare Tire PressureD040A01A-AATThe following instructions for the tem-
porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon
as is practical after installing the
spare tire, and adjust to the speci-
fied pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and
maintained at the specified pres-
sure while the tire is stored.
!
Tire Size
Inflation Pressure
T105/70D(R)14
60 psi (420 kPa)
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over
50 mph (80 km/h) is not recom-
mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically designed for your car, it
should not be used on any other
vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tire should
not be used on any other wheels,
nor should standard tires, snow
tires, wheel covers or trim rings be
used with the temporary spare
wheel. If such use is attempted,
damage to these items or other car
components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure
should be checked once a month
while the tire is stored. 2. The spare tire should only be used
temporarily and should be returned
to the luggage compartment as
soon as the original tire can be
repaired or replaced.

I030A02JM-AATRECOMMENDED COLD TIRE INFLA-
TION PRESSURES
Tire label located on the driver's side
of the center pillar outer panel gives
the cold tire pressures recommended
for your vehicle with the original tire
size, the number of people that can be
in your vehicle and vehicle capacity
weight.
I030A01A-2
These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide the most satisfactory combina-
tion 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 rea-
sons:
I030A01LC-1
WARNING:
Severe underinflation (10 psi (70
kPa) or more) can lead to severe
heat buildup, causing blowouts,
tread separation and other tire fail-
ures that can result in the loss of
vehicle control leading to severe
injury or death. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when driv-
ing for protracted periods at high
speeds.

I040A01O-AATSNOW 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.
I040B01JM-AATALL SEASON TIRES
Hyundai specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good perfor-
mance for use all year round, including
snowy and icy road conditions. All sea-
son tires are identified by ALL SEA-
SON and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on
the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better
snow traction than all season tires an
may be more appropriate in some ar-
eas.I040C01JM-AATSUMMER TIRES
Hyundai specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior per-
formance on dry roads. Summer tire
performance is substantrally reduced in
snow and ice. Summer tires do not
have the tire traction rating M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire side wall. if you
plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or
icy conditions. Hyundai recommends
the use of snow tires or all season tires
on all four wheels.

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.I080A01A-AATTIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are im-
properly inflated or on slippery road
surfaces. Tires should be replaced
when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control,
slow down whenever there is rain,
snow or ice on the road.
I090A01A-AATWHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
Tread wear in-
dicator 0.06 in. (1.6 mm)
HGK248
The original tires on your car have
tread wear indicators. The location of
tread wear indicators is shown by the
"TWI" or " " marks, etc., 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 recom-
mended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset
must meet Hyundai specification.
!
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan-
gerous! Worn-out tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control and traction.
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.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics that could cause
death, serious injury, or property
damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
dimensional specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle, including broken
wheel studs.
