F010L01P-GAT Damaged paint Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up assoon as possible with HYUNDAI paint pencil or spray paint to prevent corro- sion. Check body areas facing theroad or the tires especially carefully for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code num-ber for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate. F010M01P-GAT
Tar
If tar becomes adhered to the vehicle, use special tar remover to remove it as soon as possible. If the tar leaves a stain, polish the affected area. F010N01P-GAT
Plastic and rubber parts
Use a soft cloth and wash with water.
If necessary, a cleaning agent spe- cially designed for plastics can beused. If engine oil, brake fluid, battery fluid, etc., comes in contact with these parts, wash promptly with water andthen use alcohol to remove the stain completely. F010O01P-GAT
Load weight and driving speed
Remove any luggage, etc., which is not necessary from the vehicle. The load weight placed on the roof or towed in a trailer also should not be exces-sive.Correctly adjusting the air pressure ofthe tires before driving under maxi- mum load weight conditions and be- fore driving long distances is espe-cially important. F010Q01P-GAT
Kerb parking
If the tires strike a kerb or concrete parking barrier, they could be dam-aged, and this damage could become a source of extreme danger when the vehicle is subsequently driven at highspeed. If the vehicle is to be driven or onto a kerb or any other such barrier, it should be driven slowly and at anappropriate angle to the kerb or barrier.
F010J01P-GAT Engine compartment Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and end of winter. Pay particualr attention to flanges, crev- ices, and peripheral parts where dustcontaining road chemicals and other corrosive materials might collect. If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in your area, clean the en- gine compartment at least every threemonths.

Tire replacement
Tires which do not meet the size specifications must not be used. Re- placement of the tires must be made as a set of the two front tires, the tworear tires, or all four tires.A mixture of bias-ply tires and radialtires must not be used. Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer regarding tire replacement.
F010R01P-GAT
Tire care
For driving safely, and in order to
obtain the maximum useful life of thetires, the following points should be observed. For information concerning inspection, air pressure, and rotationof the tires, refer to the part which deals with wheels in the section of this manual entitled "Consumer Informa-tion". F010S01P-GAT
Tire air pressure
The air pressure of the tires mustalways be maintained in accordance with the specifications, and should be measured when the tires are cool.If any changes in driving conditions(speed and/or load weight) occur, theair pressure of the tires must meet the specifications which apply to the new driving conditions. If the vehicle isgoing to be driven under varying load weight, etc., the air pressure must be adjusted in order to meet the highestspecifications of the conditions under which the vehicle is driven (high speeds and maximum load weight). F010T01P-GAT Tire storage Storage of the tires should be in a dark, well-ventilated place.Tires not mounted on rims should bestored vertically. Be sure that the tires are not in contact with fuel, oil grease, etc.

Pull the parking brake lever all the way up to check the number of "clicks" that the ratchet makes. One click repre-sents a lever movement of one notch. The lever should move the specified number of notches for normal brakeapplication. Parking brake lever stroke; If the parking brake lever stroke is not within the standard range(5 to 7notches), have the brake lever ad- justed at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. D030A01P
TIRE
I150A03P-GAT Tire condition Check the tires for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tires if there are deep cuts or cracks. Also check each tire for pieces of metal orpebbles.The use of worn tires can be verydangerous because of the greater chance of skidding or hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tires mustexceed 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) in order for the tires to meet the minimum re- quirement for use. If there are belt-line wear indicators on the tires, they will appear in six places on the surface of the tirethereby indicating that the tire no 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)

Wear indicator
Drive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension and adjusted ifnecessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora-tion and replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to
be sure there is no interference be-tween the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from initial stretching after use.
NOTE: The drive belt tension for diesel
engine (2.5 CRDi only) is adjusted automatically.PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE

longer meets the minimum require- ment for use. When these wear indi-cators appear, the tires must be re- placed with new one. Confirm that the wheel nuts are tightened sufficiently.Refer to the section of this manual entitled "In case of emergency" for information concerning care of thetires.
!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 mixradial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Your vehicle is equipped with
tires designed to provide for saferide and handling capability.Do not use a size and type of tireand wheel that is different from the one that is originally installed on your vehicle. I160A03P-GAT Tire inflation pressure

It can affect the safety and perfor- mance of your vehicle, whichcould lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire and wheel of the same size, type,tread, brand and load-carrying ca- pacity. If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle with anytire/wheel combination not rec- ommended by Hyundai for off- road driving, you should not usethese tires for highway driving.

Tires tend to wear unevenly over a long period of service. To make surethat the tires wear evenly as possible and for longer tire life, rotate the wheels in the sequence illustrated. Take the vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer to have the chance of the wheels properly adjusted.
CAUTION:
If the front wheels are of a different type from the rear and spare wheels, do not attempt to mountthe wheel for front onto rear. In this instance, use the type 2 wheel rotation method.
