tyres including the spare.
At least twice a year

• Check the radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check the windscreen washer
spray and wiper operation. Clean

Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tyre bal-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1.6 mm of tread left
on the tyre. Replace the tyre when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.
OEN076053
Tread wear indicator
CAUTION
Improper wheel balance
weights can damage your vehi-
cle's aluminium wheels. Use
only approved wheel balance
weights.
CAUTION
When replacing the tyres,
recheck and tighten the wheel
nuts after driving about 1,000
km. If the steering wheel shakes
or the vehicle vibrates whilst
driving, the tyre is out of bal-
ance. Align the tyre balance. If
the problem is not solved, we
recommend that you contact an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
Wheel replacement
When replacing the wheels for any
reason, make sure the new wheels
are equivalent to the original factory
units in diameter, rim width and off-
set.
Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road, to
reduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle.
Tyre maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps decrease tyre
wear. If you find a tyre worn uneven-
ly, have your dealer check the wheel
alignment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle travel comfort
and tyre life. Additionally, a tyre
should always be rebalanced if it is
removed from the wheel.
Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tyre and also provides
the tyre identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tyre in
case of a recall.

WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tyre clearance,
snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cal-
ibration, headlight aim and
bumper height.
