Catalytic Converter H020B01A-GAT
About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high temperatures. As a re- sult, the introduction of large amountsof unburned gasoline may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. This can be avoided by observing thefollowing:
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Extremely high con-verter temperatures can result from improper operation of the electrical, ignition or fuel injec-tion systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, takeyour car to your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible and have the difficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. If your run out of gasoline, it could cause the engine to mis- fire and result in excessive load- ing of the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri-
ods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be ei- ther pushed or pulled to get itstarted. This can cause the cata-lytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper, leaves or rags. As these materials couldcome in contact with the catalytic converter and could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic con- verter or any other part of theexhaust system while the en- gine is running as it is very hotand could result in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.

I050A01MC-AAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be surethat the chains are installed in accor- dance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions.To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed. I060A02A-AAT TIRE ROTATION Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque.
WARNING:
o If your vehicle is equipped with 205/45R16 size tires, do not install tire chains. This may cause dam-age to the vehicle (wheels, sus-pension and body) by chains con-tacting the body.
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than30 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, retighten thechain to avoid contact with thevehicle body. I060A01HP
Spare tire
WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. Thismay cause dangerous handling char- acteristics.
o To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1 km.
o Don't use tire chains on a vehicle equipped with aluminium wheels. If it is unavoidable, use wire typechains.
o Use wire chains less than 15 mm to prevent damage to the chain'sconnection.

I090A01MC-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The location of tread wear indicators is shown by the "TWI"or " " marks, etc., The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rimwidth and offset must meet Hyundai specification.
!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 Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.

I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are im- properly 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 is rain,snow or ice on the road.
