NOTE:Look at a tape before you insert it.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning
one of the hubs with a pencil or your
finger.
If the label is peeling off, do not put it in the
drive mechanism.
Do not leave tapes sitting where they are
exposed to hot, warm, or high humidity,
such as on top of the dashboard or in the
player.
If a tape is exposed to excessively hot or
cold, let it reach a moderate tempera-
ture before putting it in the player.
ANTENNAB870D01MC-GATMICRO ANTENNAYour car uses the micro antenna to re-
ceive both AM and FM broadcast signals.
This antenna is folding and removable
type.
B870D01MC
CAUTION:
o Be sure to fold the micro antenna
before entering a garage with a low
height or installing a car cover. The
antenna can be folded into only front
position.
o Before entering an automatic car
wash, remove by turning the antenna
counterclockwise to prevent dam-
age to the micro antenna. To install
the antenna, turn the antenna clock-
wise.
o When reinstalling your antenna, it is
important that it is fully tightened to
ensure proper reception.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
132
!
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking opera-
tion the vehicle may suddenly move
forward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury to nearby
people or damage to objects.
WARNING:
!
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneu-
vers. Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance be-
tween you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may
be longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the veicle
should be driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
These roads should be driven at re-
duced speeds. The safety features of
an ABS equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or corner-
ing. This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS-
TEMC120A01MC-AAT(If Installed)The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up dur-
ing sudden braking or on hazardous road
surfaces. The ABS control module moni-
tors the wheel speed and controls the
pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergency situations or on slick roads,
ABS will increase vehicle control during
braking.NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system is functioning prop-
erly.
o During ABS operation, a slight pulsa-
tion may be felt in the brake pedal
when the brakes are applied. Also, a
noise may be heard in the engine
compartment while braking. These
conditions are normal and indicate
that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.

1. Manufacturer or Brand name
o Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size (example: P175/70R14)
o The "P" indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. A
"T" is the designation for a tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Three-digit number (175): This
number gives the width in millime-
ters of the tire from sidewall edge
to sidewall edge.
o Two-digit number (70): 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 (14): This num-
ber is the wheel or rim diameter in
inches.
o Two (or three) digit number (84):
This number is the tire's load in-
dex. It is a measurement of how
much weight each tire can sup-
port.o T: Speed Rating. The speed rat-
ing 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 "De-
partment of Transportation". The
symbol can be placed above, be-
low or to the left or right of the Tire
Identification Number. Indicates
tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation
Motor 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 mate-
rial
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 maxi-
mum permissible inflation pressure.
Refer to the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label for recommended infla-
tion pressure.

I030D01JM-AATTIRE TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINI-
TIONS
Air Pressure: The amount of air inside
the tire pressing outward on the tire.
Air pressure is expressed in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight: This means the
combined weight of optional accesso-
ries. Some examples of optional ac-
cessories are, automatic transmission,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio: The relationship of a
tire's height to its width.
Belt: A rubber coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
Bead: The tire bead contains steel
wires wrapped by steel cords that hold
the tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire: A pneumatic tire in
which the plies are laid at alternate
angles less than 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.Cold Tire Pressure: The amount of
air pressure in a tire, measured in
pounds per square inch (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has
built up heat from driving.
Curb Weight: This means the weight
of a motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the maxi-
mum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant,
but without passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings: A code molded into
the sidewall of a tire signifying that the
tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation motor
vehicle safety standards. The DOT
code includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), an alphanumeric desig-
nator which can also identify the tire
manufacturer, production plant, brand
and date of production.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT: Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing for the front Axle.
GAWR RR: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the rear axle. 6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maxi-
mum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG):
Tire manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three perfor-
mance factors: treadwear, traction
and temperature resistance. For
more information, see Uniform Tire
Quality Grading on page 8-15.
