Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires\b they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tire chains on them.
Therefore\b the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of tire chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels; if
unavoidable use a wire type chain. If
tire chains must be used\b use gen
uine HYUNDAI parts and install the
tire chain after reviewing the instruc
tions provided with the tire chains.
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tire chain use is not cov
ered by your vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.
Information
• Install tire chains on the front tires\bIt should be noted that installing tire
chains on the tires will provide a
greater driving force, but will not
prevent side skids\b
• Do not install tire chains without first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use\b
Chain Installation
When installing tire chains\b follow the
manufacturer's instructions and
mount them as tightly possible. Drive
slowly (less than 3\f km/h (2\f mph))
with chains installed. If you hear the
chains contacting the body or chas
sis\b stop and tighten them. If they still
make contact\b slow down until the
noise stops. Remove the tire chains
as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains\b park
the vehicle on level ground away
from traffic. Turn on the vehicle
Hazard Warning Flasher and place a
triangular emergency warning device
behind the vehicle (if available).
Always place the shift lever in neu
tral\b apply the parking brake and turn
off the engine before installing snow
chains.
