Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding\b
rapid acceleration\b sudden brake
applications\b and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration\b use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause skids to occur.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow\b it
may be necessary to use snow tires
or to install tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tire chains\b tow straps
or chains\b a flashlight\b emergency
flares\b sand\b a shovel\b jumper cables\b
a window scraper\b gloves\b ground
cloth\b coveralls\b a blanket\b etc.
Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your vehi
cle\b make sure to use radial tires of
the same size and load range as the
original tires. Mount snow tires on all
four wheels to balance your vehicle’s
handling in all weather conditions.
The traction provided by snow tires
on dry roads may not be as high as
your vehicle's original equipmenttires. Check with the tire dealer for
maximum speed recommendations.
Information
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local and municipal reg
ulations for possible restrictions
against their use\b

CCompact spare tire replacement
(if equipped)A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replaced compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tire wheel is not designed to mount a
regular size tire.
(Continued)•
Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to
uneven we ar and tire failure.
•
When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (i ncluding the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.
•
It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that is not possi-
ble, or necessary, then re place the
two front or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can serious-
ly affect your veh icle’s handling.
•
Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics an d poor vehicle con-
trol, resulting in a serious acci-
dent.

•
Wheels that do not meet
HYUNDAI's specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle or u nusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
•
The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tire
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing ti res, all 4 tires
must use the same size original-
ly supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a differe nt size can
cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) and ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) to work irregu -
larly. (if equipped)
