Maintenance
Vehicle Capacity Weight: The mul-
tiplication of the designated occu-
pant seat number by 150 pounds (68
kg) plus the loading weight.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the
Tire: Loading capacity for an individ-
ual tire. The curb and accessory
weights plus the maximum occupant
and loading weights.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire:
Loading capacity for an individual
axle. The sum of the curb, accessory,
and normal occupant weights is
divided by 2.
Vehicle Placard: A label, perma-
nently attached to a vehicle, to indi-
cate the original equipment tire size
and the recommended inflation pres-
sure.
All season tires
HYUNDAI designated some models
of all-season tires to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All-season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire side wall.
Snow tires have better snow traction
than all season tires and may be
more appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
HYUNDAI designated some models
of summer tires to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have a tire traction rating
mark, M+S (Mud and Snow), on the
tire side wall. Before driving in snowy
or icy conditions, it is recommended
to install snow tires or all-season
tires on all four wheels.
Snow tires
When equipping your vehicle with
snow tires, the tires should be in the
same size and have the same load
capacity as the original ones. Snow
tires should be installed on all four
wheels. Otherwise, it may cause
poor handling. Snow tires should be
more inflated by 4 psi (28 kPa) than
the lesser of the two recommended
pressures - one specified on the tire
label attached to the central pillar on
the driver's side, and the other spec-
ified on the tire side wall.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
- Snow or ice
When driving on a snowy or icy road, drive slower than 20
mph (30 km/h).
Use the SAE “S” class or wire chains.
When you hear chain-rattling noise, retighten the chain to
avoid its contact with the
vehicle body.
To prevent damage to the vehicle body, retighten the
chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do not use tire chains on a vehicle equipped with alu-
minum wheels. In unavoidable
circumstance, use the wire-
type chains.
Use the wire chains, of which the diameter is less than 0.47
inches (12 mm), to prevent
damage to the chain connect-
ing parts.

Maintenance07
Tire chains
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the drive wheels (rear
wheels).
Make sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
To minimize the abrasion of tires and
chains, do not use the chains, when
unnecessary.
Radial-ply tires
Radial-ply tires provide longer tread
life, better road hazard resistance
and smoother riding at a high speed.
The radial-ply tires used on this vehi-
cle are of belted construction, and
are to improve your driving and han-
dling. Radial-ply tires have the same
loading capacity as the bias-ply or
bias-belted tires of the same size.
Inflate the radial-ply tires to the same
recommended inflation pressure. It is
not recommended to attempt a
cross-combination of radial-ply tires
and bias-ply(or bias-belted) tires on
the same vehicle. Any cross-combi-
nation of radial-ply and bias-ply(or
bias-belted) tires on one vehicle will
seriously deteriorate vehicle han-
dling. The best rule to follow is:
Identical radial-ply tires should
always be used for a set of four tires.
A tire, which is driven for a long peri-
od of time, is more susceptible to
irregular tread abrasion. It is very
important to rotate tires, at the inter-
val instructed in this chapter, to use it
up to its potential tread life. Any cut
and puncture on a radial-ply tire is
repairable, only when it is on the
tread, because of the side wall flex-
ing. Consult your tire dealer for a
radial-ply tire repair.

Maintenance07
Bright-metal maintenance
Use a tar remover to remove roadtar and insects, not scraping or
using a sharp object.
To protect a bright metal surface from corrosion, apply a coat of wax
or chrome preservative, or polish
the surface.
In winter or in coastal areas, apply a bright metal part with a heavy
coat of wax or preservative. If nec-
essary, coat the part with non-cor-
rosive petroleum jelly or other pro-
tective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials, which are used
to remove ice, snow or dusts, may
accumulate across the vehicle
underbody. When these materials
are not promptly removed, rusting
process may accelerate across the
underbody, such as the fuel lines,
frame, floor pan and exhaust system,
regardless of the rust-protection
treatment.
Thoroughly wash the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after driving off a road, or after the
winter season. Pay special attention
to the underbody areas to find any
mud or dirt. Remaining road dirt or
grime across the vehicle underbody
does more harm than good. The
lower edges of doors, rocker panels,
and frame members have drain
holes, which should not be clogged
with dirt; clogging in these areas may
cause rusting.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner,polishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum wheels.
They may scratch or damage the
finish.
Clean the wheel, while it is cool.
Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and thoroughly rinse
with water. Also, always clean the
wheels after driving on a salted
road. This prevents corrosion.
Avoid washing the wheels with an automatic high-speed washing
brush.
Do not use any alkaline or acid detergent. It may damage and cor-
rode the aluminum wheels coated
with a clear protective finish.
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes by slowly applying
them to check whether they are
affected by water. When braking
performance is impaired, dry
the brakes by lightly applying
them while driving forward at a
slow speed.

Maintenance
Interior care
Interior general precautions
Do not use chemicals, such as per-
fume, cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand
cleaner, and air freshener, inside the
vehicle, because they may damage
or discolor the interior. When one of
the above materials contacts the
interior part, immediately wipe them
off. Refer to the vinyl-cleaning
instructions for the proper cleaning
procedure.
Cleaning the upholstery andinterior trim
Vinyl
Dust the vinyl off with a whisk broom
or vacuum cleaner. Clean a vinyl sur-
face with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Dust the fabric off with a whisk
broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean it
with a mild soap, recommended for
upholstery or carpets. Immediately
remove a stain with a fabric spot
cleaner. When a stain is not immedi-
ately removed, the stain may perma-
nently remain, and its color is
changed. Also, its fire-resistance
capacity is reduced, when the mate-
rial is not properly maintained.
Unauthorized cleaner or incorrect
cleaning procedures may impair
the fabric surface and the fire-
resistant capacity.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder beltwebbing
Clean the belt webbing with a mild
soap, recommended for cleaning
upholstery or carpet. Follow any
instructions of the soap. Do not
bleach or re-dye the webbing, as the
webbing surface may deteriorate.
Cleaning the interior windowglass
When the inner window surface
becomes fogged (possibly covered
with oily, greasy or waxy film), they
should be cleaned with a glass
cleaner. Follow any directions of the
glass cleaner.
Do not scrape or scratch the inner
surfaces of the rear windows. This
may damage the defroster grid of
the rear windows.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Never allow water or other liq-
uids to come in contact with
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as
this may damage them.
When cleaning leather prod- ucts (i.e. steering wheel and
seats), use a neutral detergent
or a low-alcohol solution.
When using a solution, which
is rich in alcohol, acid or alka-
line, the leather color may
fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
