23CHECKING THE FREE-PLAY
G150A01A-GAT
STEERING WHEEL
To check the steering wheel free- play, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back andforth. Use very light finger pressure and be sensitive to changes in resis- tance that mark the limits of the free-play. If the free-play is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or re-paired if necessary. 30 mm (1.18in.)
G160A01A-GAT
CLUTCH PEDAL
With the engine off, press lightly on
the clutch pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedal free-play. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illus-tration. If it is not, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. 6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
G170A01A-GAT BRAKE PEDAL With the engine off, press down on the brake pedal several times to re-duce the vacuum in the brake booster.Then, using your hand, press downslowly on the brake pedal until youfeel a change in resistance. This is the brake pedal free-play. The free- play should be within the limits speci-fied in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. 3 ~ 8 mm (0.12 ~ 0.31 in.)

I050A02GK-GAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accor- dance with the manufacturer's instruc-tions. Refer to the following informa- tion. 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 lessthan 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use tire chains less than 10mm (0.39 in.) for 16" and 17" tires.
o Avoid sudden stop and turns.
o Tighten firmly to avoid contact with the verticle body, if youhave noise caused by chaws contacting the body, remove the chains for damage protection.

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 drive side center pillar outer panel, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less.Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.

I060A02GK-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 torque. WARNING:
When rotating the 215/45 R17 tires, the tires must be mounted follow- ing the "ROTATION" directionmarked on the sidewall of the tires.If rotating the tires from the leftside to the right side and from theright side to the left side, separate the wheel from the tire and then remount them.
WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handlingcharacteristics. 15", 16" Tire
Sidewall 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 areimproperly inflated or on slippery roadsurfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losingcontrol, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

!WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effective-ness, steering control and trac- tion. When replacing tires, never mix radial and bias-ply tires onthe same car. If you replace ra- dial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizesmay cause unusual handling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury or prop-erty damage. I100A01FC-GAT
SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Span- ner, Screwdriver Jack HGK4008
I090A01S-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tireshould be replaced when these ap- pear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Alwaysreplace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim widthand offset must meet Hyundai speci- fications. HGK5015
