CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. (After the vehicle has
been parked for at least three hours
or hasn't been driven more than 1
mile (1.6 km) since starting up.)
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-
sure of other tires.
o Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn,
or if your tires have been dam-
aged, replace them.
!
WARNING:
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce the tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sud-
den tire failure. This could rusult in
loss of vehicle control and potential
injury.
!
o Worn tires can cause accidents.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged. See
page 8-12.
o Remember to check the pressure
of your spare tire. Hyundai recom-
mends that you check the spare
every time you check the pressure
of the other tires on your vehicle.WARNING:
NOTE:
o Underinflation also results in ex-
cessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel de-
formation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by your
Hyundai Dealer.
o Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
I035A01JM-AATCHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES-
SURE
Check your tires once a month or more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
How to Check
Use a good quality gauge to check tire
pressure. You cannot tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by looking
at them. Radial tires may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1
mile (1.6 km).

!
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered
with snow or ice, drive at less than
20 mph (30 km/h).
o Use SAE "S" class or wire chains.
o Use wire chains less than 15mm to
prevent damage to the chain's
connection.
o If chains contact the body and
cause noise, retighten the chains
to avoid contact with the vehicle
body that may cause damage.
o To prevent body damage, retighten
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.

Temporary spare tire type
Full size spare tire type
!
Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles (12,000 km). If you notice that
tires are wearing unevenly between ro-
tations, 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.
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 property
damage.

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 uneven
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 control,
resulting in a serious accident.
I080A01A-AATTIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tires, tires that are improperly
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.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 re-
pair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car.
HTG5016 I090A05A-AAT
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 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 recommended size. If you
change wheels, the new wheel's rim
width and offset must meet Hyundai
specification.

WARRANTIES FOR YOUR
HYUNDAI VEHICLEI120A03A-AATPlease consult your Owner's Handbook
& Warranty Information booklet for your
vehicle's specific warranty coverage.
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 2-23 and 8-
3 for proper tire pressures and
further information.
o Driving on tires with no or insuffi-
cient tread is dangerous. Worn-
out tires can result in loss of ve-
hicle control, collisions, and in-
jury and even death. Worn-out
tires should be replaced as soon
as possible and should never be
used for driving. Always check
tire tread before driving your car.
Refer to this page for further infor-
mation and tread limits.
