These pressures were chosen to pro- vide the most satisfactory combination of ride comfort, tyre wear and stability under normal conditions. Tyre pressuresshould be checked at least monthly. CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tyres are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hoursand 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 Worn, old tyres can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tyres have been dam-aged, replace them.
! I040A02S-DAT SNOW TYRES If you equip your car with snow tyres, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tyres. Snow tyres should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tyres should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tyres on the tyre label on the driver's side of the centre pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tyre sidewall, whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75mph) when your car is equipped with snow tyres.
OMC059110R
OMC059113RProper tyre inflation pressures 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 uneven tread wear.

I060A02A-DAT TYRE ROTATION
Tyres should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice that tyres are wearing unevenly betweenrotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be corrected.After rotating, adjust the tyre pres- sures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-plyunder any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handling charac- teristics.
Spare tyre!
I050A01MC-DAT TYRE CHAINS Tyre 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 minimise tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o If your vehicle is equipped with 205/45R16 size tyres, do not in- stall tyre chains. This may causedamage to the vehicle (wheels,suspension and body) by chainscontacting 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.
o To prevent body damage, retighten the chains after driving 0.5~1 km.
o Don't use tyre 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.

I090A003MC-DAT WHEN TO REPLACE TYRES
The original tyres 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 tyreshould be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replaceyour tyres with those of the recom- mended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset mustbe those specified by Hyundai. WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tyres is dan- gerous! Worn-out tyres can causeloss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tyres, never mix radialand bias-ply tyres on the same car. If you replace radial tyres with bias-ply tyres, they must be in-stalled in sets of four.
o Using tyres and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
o Tyres degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-less of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres generally be replaced after six (6) years ofnormal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the ag-ing process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, which could lead to a lossof control and an accident involv- ing serious injury or death.

I070A01A-DAT TYRE BALANCING A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling and tyre wear. The tyres onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-DAT TYRE TRACTION Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly inflated or on slippery roadsurfaces. Tyres 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.

o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tyre size canaffect wheel speed. When replac- ing tyres, all 4 tyres must use the same size originally supplied withthe vehicle. Using tyres of a differ- ent size can cause the ABS (Anti- lock Brake System) and ESP (Elec-tronic Stability Program) (If In- stalled) to work irregularly.
