WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYSD120A02A-AATInformation about the key of immobilizer
system can be found on page 1-3.
!
CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at
speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h)
and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle to operate
the steering and brakes.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE4
Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it fre-
quently and don't damage the finish by
rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots,
dampen them frequently and remove them
a little at a time.
To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soapy steel-wool scouring pad.
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use
a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not
use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-
metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and
waxing. Because aluminum is subject to
corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy
wheels special attention in winter. If you
drive on salted roads, clean the wheels
thoroughly afterwards.
After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking
will result.
When the weather is warm and the humid-
ity low, you may find it necessary to rinse
each section immediately after washing to
avoid streaking.
WASHING AND WAXING
E020E01A-AATDon't Neglect the InteriorMoisture can collect under the floor mats
and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check
under the mats periodically to be sure the
carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you
carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or
chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clean water
and thoroughly dried.
E030A01A-AATWashing Your HyundaiNever wash your car when the surface is
hot from being in the sun. Always wash
your car in the shade.
Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive
and can scratch the paint if it is not re-
moved. Air pollution or acid rain may dam-
age the paint and trim through chemical
action if pollutants are allowed to remain in
contact with the surface. If you live near the
ocean or in an area where road salts or
dust control chemicals are used, you
should pay particular attention to the un-
derside of the car. Start by rinsing the car
to remove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or
if you have driven through mud or muddy
water, be sure to thoroughly clean the
underside as well. Use a hard direct stream
of water to remove accumulations of mud
or corrosive materials. Use a good quality
car-washing solution and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the package.
These are available at your Hyundai dealer
or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong house-
hold detergents, gasoline, strong solvents
or abrasive cleaning powders as these
may damage the finish.
E020D02A-AATKeep Paint and Trim in Good Condi-
tionScratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of corro-
sion. If bare metal is showing through, the
attention of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are highly
corrosive and may damage painted sur-
faces in just a few hours. Always remove
bird droppings as soon as possible.

!
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. (After the vehicle has
been parked for at least three hours
or hasn't been driven more than 1
mile (1.6 km) since starting up.)
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-
sure of other tires.
o Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn,
or if your tires have been dam-
aged, replace them.
!
WARNING:
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce the tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sud-
den tire failure. This could rusult in
loss of vehicle control and potential
injury. These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide 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:
!
WARNING:
Severe underinflation (10 psi (70 kPa)
or more) can lead to severe heat
buildup, causing blowouts, tread
separation and other tire failures that
can result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol leading to severe injury or death.
This risk is much higher on hot days
and when driving for protracted peri-
ods at high speeds.NOTE:
o Underinflation also results in ex-
cessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel de-
formation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by your
Hyundai Dealer.
o Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.

o V: Speed Rating. The speed rating
denotes the speed at which a tire is
designed to be driven for extended
periods of time. The ratings range
from "A" to "Z" (98 to 186 MPH).
3. TIN (Tire Identification Number) for
new tire (example: DOT XX XX XXX
XXXX)
o DOT: Abbreviation for the "Depart-
ment of Transportation". The sym-
bol can be placed above, below or
to the left or right of the Tire Iden-
tification Number. It indicates the
tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standards.
o 1st two-digit code: Manufacturer's
identification mark
o 2nd two-digit code: Tire size
o 3rd three-digit code: Tire type code
(Optional)
o 4th four-digit code: Date of Manu-
factureo Four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For
example, the numbers 3105 means
the 31st week of 2005.
4. Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of
rubbercoated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate
the materials in the tire, which in-
clude steel, nylon, polyester, and
others. The letter "R" means radial
ply construction; the letter "D" means
diagonal or bias ply construction;
and the letter "B" means belted-bias
ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation pres-
sure. 1. Manufacturer or Brand name
o Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size
(example: P225/60R16 97V)
o The "P" indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles.
o Three-digit number (225): This num-
ber gives the width in millimeters
of the tire from sidewall edge to
sidewall edge.
o Two-digit number (60): This num-
ber, known as the aspect ratio,
gives the tire's ratio of height to
width.
o R: The "R" stands for radial.
o Two-digit number (16): This num-
ber is the wheel or rim diameter in
inches.
o Two digit number (97): This num-
ber is the tire's load index. It is a
measurement of how much weight
each tire can support.

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 SEASON
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 areas.
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 han-
dling 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.
