CAUTION:
Driving with varying tire or wheel size may cause the ESP system to malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are the same size asyour original tires. WARNING:
Electronic stability program is onlya driving aid; all normal precau- tions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road sur-faces should be observed.!
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)
C310A01JM-AAT (If Installed) ESP checks where you are steering and where the vehicle is actually go-ing. ESP applies the brakes at indi- vidual wheels and intervenes in the engine management system to stabi-lize the vehicle. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system is an electronic system de- signed to help the driver maintain ve- hicle control under adverse conditions.It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steeringinput can all affect whether ESP will be effective in preventing a loss of con- trol. It is still your responsibility to driveand corner at reasonable speeds and to leave a sufficient margin of safety.
B310A01TG-1
C310B01JM-AAT ESP ON/OFF Mode When the ESP is operating, the ESP indicator in the instrument cluster will blink. If you turn the system off by pressingthe ESP switch, the ESP-OFF indica- tor will come on and stay on. In the ESP-OFF mode, the stability controlwill be deactivated. Adjust your driving accordingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The ESP-OFF indicator should go off. NOTE: The ESP mode will automatically be turned ON after the engine is turned off and restarted.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system is designed to stabilize thevehicle during cornering maneuvers.

16SMOOTH CORNERING
C150A01A-AAT Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum.WINTER DRIVING
C160A01A-AAT The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the prob- lems of winter driving, you should fol-low these suggestions: C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires orto install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and type of the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affectthe safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel- eration, sudden brake applications, andsharp turns are potentially very haz- ardous practices. During deceleration, use engine brak-ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need tokeep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tirechains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all prov- inces. Check province laws before fitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Gly- col Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir(Page 6-8) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
! CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soonas possible by a Hyundai dealer.

D040B01TG-GAT Handling the Spare Tire
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Remove the luggage mat.
3. Take out the tool receptacle.
Spare Tire Pressure
D040A01TG-GAT The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tire should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodi-cally checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Tire Size Inflation PressureFull Size 210 kPa (30 psi)

CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the carhas been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one milesince starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check thepressure of other tires.
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 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 impacts and causeuneven tread wear.
! I040A02S-GAT 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 beinstalled on all four wheels; other- wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pres- sure recommended for the standardtires on the tire label on the driver's side of the center pillar outer panel, or up to the maximum pressure shownon the tire sidewall, whichever is less.Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.

I060A01Y-GAT TIRE ROTATION Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice that tires are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by aHyundai dealer so the cause may be corrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pres- sures and be sure to check wheel nut tightness.
I050A01TG-GAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains should be installed on the
front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance with themanufacturer'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 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire
chains.
o Don't use a tire chains to the
vehicle which aluminium wheelsare installed to keep the wheels. If it is on unavoidable circum- stances, use a wire chains.
o Use wire chains less than 15mm to prevent damage to the chain'sconnection. o If you have noise caused by
chains contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contact with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re- tighten the chains after driving 0.5 ~ 1 km.

!WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply
tires under any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury, or propertydamage. 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 needbalancing 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-AAT 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 replacedwhen tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there israin, snow or ice on the road.
I090A01Y-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the treaddepth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these ap- pear as a solid bar across two ormore grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you changewheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundai speci- fications.HTG5016
