input can all affect whether ESP will be effective in preventing a loss of con-trol. It is still your responsibility to drive and corner at reasonable speeds and to leave a sufficient margin of safety.
CAUTION:
Driving with varying tire or wheelsize 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) The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system is designed to stabilize thevehicle during cornering manuevers. 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 steering C310A01FC
C310B01JM-AAT ESP ON/OFF Mode When the ESP is operating, the ESP indicator in the instrument cluster willblink. If you turn the system off by pressing the ESP switch, the ESP-OFF indica-tor will come on and stay on. In the ESP-OFF mode, the stability control will be deactivated. Adjust your drivingaccordingly. 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 isturned off and restarted.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
20WINTER 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 andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous prac-tices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icyroads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance be- tween the vehicle in front and yourvehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving 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 Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the coolingsystem, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor-dance with the maintenance schedule in 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.

3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
6SPARE TIRE
D040A01FC-GAT TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as possible after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pres- sure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintainedat the specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Spare Tire Pressure

Inflation PressureT115/70R(D)15
420 kPa (60 psi)
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.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 80 km/h (50 mph) is not recom-mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe- cifically designed for your car, itshould not be used on any othervehicle. 5. The temporary spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, norshould standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage to these items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tire is stored.
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one tempo- rary spare tire at a time.
! D040B01FC-GAT FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE (If Installed) 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.

I020A01A-AAT TIRE INFORMATION The tires supplied on your new Hyundai are chosen to provide the best performance for normal driving. I030A01FC-GAT RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRESSURES
The tire label located on the driver's
side "C" pillar outer panel gives the tire pressures recommended for your vehicle. These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide the most satisfactory combina-tion of ride comfort, tire wear andstability under normal conditions. Tire pressures should be checked at least monthly. Proper tire inflation pres-sures 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 cause uneven tread wear.

I050A01E-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.To minimize tire and chain wear, donot 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 &
plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid con- tact with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re- tighten the chains after driving0.5 ~ 1 km.
I040A01S-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, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped with snow tires.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been drivenmore than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure of other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be es- pecially careful about overload-ing if you equip your car with a luggage rack or car top carrier.

!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 thesame car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be 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. It can affect thesafety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to han- dling failure or rollover and seri-ous injury.When replacing the tires, be sureto equip all four tires with the tireand wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying ca- pacity.
I090A01HP-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
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- fication. Wear indicator
I090A02FC
If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle with any tire/wheel combination not recom- mended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use thesetires for highway driving.
