CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tyres are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least threehours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tyre each time you check the pres-sure of other tyres.
o Never overload your car. Be espe- cially careful about overloading if you equip your car with a lug- gage rack or car top carrier. I040A01S-DAT
SNOW TYRES
If you equip your car with snow tyres,
they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tyres. Snow tyres should beinstalled on all four wheels; otherwise, poor handling may result.
Snow tyres should carry 28 kPa (4 psi)
more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tyreson the tyre label on the drive side centre pillar outer panel, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tyresidewall whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tyres.
These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combina- tion of ride comfort, tyre wear and stability under normal conditions.Tyre pressures should be checkedmonthly at least. Proper tyre inflationpressures should be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tyre pres-
sures increase the chance of dam- age from impacts and cause un- even tread wear.

Tyres should be rotated every 10,000
km (6,000 miles). If you notice that tyres are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tyre pres-
sures and be sure to check wheel nuttorque.
I060A01FC-DAT
TYRE ROTATION
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tyre for tyre rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial- ply tyres under any circum-stances. This may cause dangerous han- dling characteristics that may cause death, serious injury, orproperty damage.
I050A01O-DAT
TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, if necessarly, should be
installed on all wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance withthe manufacturer's instructions. To minimise tyre and chain wear, do
not continue to use tyre 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 contactwith the vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, re- tighten the chains after driving 0.5~1 km (0.3~0.6 mile).

I090A02HP-DAT WHEN TO REPLACE TYRES The original tyres on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depthis 1.6 mm (0.06 in). The tyre should be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tyres with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rimwidth and offset must be those speci- fied by Hyundai.
Wear indicator
1.6 mm (0.06 in. )
HSM5013 WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tyres is dan- gerous! Worn-out tyres can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tyres, never mixradial and bias-ply tyres on the same car. If you replace radial tyres with bias-ply tyres, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that was 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.
I070A01A-DAT TYRE BALANCING A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling and tyre wear. The tyres on your Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may needbalancing again during the years you own the car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-DAT TYRE TRACTION Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tyres, tyres that areimproperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tyres should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

7SPARE TYRE AND TOOLS
I100A02CM-DAT Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tyre and wheel Wheel brace, Wrench bar Screwdriver Jack Towing hook (If installed)
When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with thetyre and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you neverthelessdecide to equip your vehicle with any tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tyres for highway driving.
o Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless of the remaining tread,it is recommended that tyres tread, It is recommended that tyres generally be replaced aftersix (6) years of normal service. Heat caused by not climates or frequent high loading conditionscan accelerate the aging process.Failure to follow this Warning canresult in sudden tire failure, which could lead to a loss of control and an accident involving seri-ous injury or death.
OCM054008
o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can affect wheel speed. When replac- ing tires, all 4 tires must use thesame size originally supplied with the vehicle. Using tires of a differ- ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) (if installed) to work irregularly.
