TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle. Recommended cold tyre inflation pressures All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means
the vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than1 mile (1.6 km).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
For recommended inflation pressure
refer to “Tyre and wheels” in section8. All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
WARNING - Tyre underin-
flation
Severe underinflation (10 psi (0.7 bar) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation andother tyre failures that can
result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol leading to severe injury or
death. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.

WARNING - Tyre inflation
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and potential injury.
CAUTION - Tyre pressure
Always observe the following:
 Check tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. (After vehiclehas been parked for at leastthree hours or hasn't been driven more than 1 mile (1.6km) since startup.)
 Check the pressure of your spare tyre each time youcheck the pressure of other tyres.
 Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload avehicle luggage rack if yourvehicle is equipped with one.
 Worn, old tyres can cause accidents. If your tread isbadly worn, or if your tyreshave been damaged, replacethem.
CAUTION
 Underinflation also results in excessive wear, poor handlingand reduced fuel economy.Wheel deformation also ispossible. Keep your tyre pres- sures at the proper levels. If atyre frequently needs refilling,have it checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
 Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear atthe centre of the tyre tread,and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
CAUTION
 Warm tyres normally exceed recommended cold tyre pres-sures by 4 to 6 psi (0.28 to 0.41 bar). Do not release air fromwarm tyres to adjust the pres-sure or the tyres will be under- inflated.
 Be sure to reinstall the tyre inflation valve caps. Withoutthe valve cap, dirt or moisturecould get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If avalve cap is missing, install anew one as soon as possible.

Features of your vehicle
TPMS (Tyre Pressure MonitoringSystem) indicator (if equipped)
Low tyre pressure telltale Low tyre pressure position telltale
The low tyre pressure telltale comes on
for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position.
The low tyre pressure and position tell-
tales illuminate when one or more of your
tyres is significantly underinflated.
The low tyre pressure telltale will illumi-
nate after it blinks for approximately one
minute when there is a problem with the
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
If this occurs, have the system checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.
For details, refer to the TPMS on chapter 6.
Shift pattern indicators(if equipped)
The indicator displays to show the auto-
matic transaxle shift lever selection.
(P, R, N-D and sports mode)
Manual transaxle shiftindicator (if equipped)
This indicator informs you which gear is
desired whilst driving to save fuel.
For example
: Indicates that shifting up to the 3rdgear is desired (currently the shift
lever is in the 2nd gear).
: Indicates that shifting down to the 3rd gear is desired (currently the
shift lever is in the 4th gear).
✽✽
NOTICE
When the system is not working proper-
ly, up/down arrow indicator and gear isnot displayed.
WARNING - Safe stopping
 The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tyre damage
caused by external factors.
 If you feel any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force,
and slowly move to a safe posi-
tion off the road.
