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 handling 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.
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 SEA-
SON 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. Vehicle Capacity Weight: The num-
ber of designated seating positions
multiplied by 150 lbs. (68 kg) plus the
rated cargo and luggage load.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the Tire:
Load on an individual tire due to curb
and accessory weight plus maximum
occupant and cargo weight.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire:
That load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each axle
its share of the curb weight, accessory
weight, and normal occupant weight
and driving by 2.
Vehicle Placard: A label permanently
attached to a vehicle showing the origi-
nal equipment tire size and recom-
mended inflation pressure.

I050A01MC-AATTIRE 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, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o If your vehicle is equipped with
P205/45R16 size tires, do not in-
stall tire chains. This may cause
damage to the vehicle (wheels,
suspension and body) by chains
contacting the body.
o When driving on roads covered
with snow or ice, drive at less
than 20 mph (30 km/h).
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 contact
with the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re-
tighten the chains after driving
0.3~0.6 miles.
o Don't use tire chains on a vehicle
equipped with aluminium wheels.
If it is unavoidable, use wire type
chains.
o Use wire chains less than 15 mm
to prevent damage to the chain's
connection.WARNING:
I060A02A-AATTIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles (12,000 km). If you notice that
tires are wearing unevenly between
rotations, have the car checked by a
Hyundai dealer so the cause may be
corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures
and be sure to check the wheel nut
torque.

I090A04A-AATWHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
Tread wear
indicator
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 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire
should be replaced when these appear
as a solid bar across two or more
grooves of the tread. Always replace
your tires with those of the recom-
mended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset
must meet Hyundai specification.

!
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result
in death, serious injury, or prop-
erty damage.
I070A01A-AATTIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect
handling and tire wear. The tires on
your Hyundai were balanced before
the car was delivered but may need
balancing again during the years you
own the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for
repair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car.I080A01A-AATTIRE 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 replaced
when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control,
slow down whenever there is rain,
snow or ice on the road.

WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
o Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of brak-
ing effectiveness, steering con-
trol, and traction.
o Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to un-
even wear and tire failure.
o When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.
o Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics and poor vehicle con-
trol, resulting in a serious acci-
dent.
I090B02JM-AATTIRE MAINTENANCE
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire is worn un-
evenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire shoud always
be rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel. o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor ve-
hicle control.
o Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining tread,
it is recommended that tires tread,
It is recommended that tires gen-
erally be replaced after 6 years of
normal service. Heat caused by
not climates or frequent high load-
ing Conditions can accelerate the
aging process. Failure to follow
this Warning can result in sud-
den tire failure, which could lead
to a loss of control and an acci-
dent involving serious injury or
death.WARNING:
WARNING:
o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of
vehicle control, and sudden tire
failure leading to accidents, inju-
ries, and even death. Always
check tires are properly inflated
before driving. Refer to pages 2-
20 and 8-3 for proper tire pres-
sures and further information.
