2016 Hyundai Equus snow chains

Avoid driving over obstacles. Acompact spare tire diameter is
smaller than one of an original tire,
and the ground clearance is short-
er by approximately 1 inch (25
mm). This may damage you vehi-
cle.
Do drive through an automatic car wash while the compact spare tire
is installed.
Do not use tire chains on a com- pact spare tire. Because of the size
difference, a tire chain will not tight-
ly fit. This may result in loss of the
chain and damage the vehicle.
Do not use your compact spare tire on any other vehicles. This com-
pact spare tire is designed exclu-
sively for your vehicle.
The tread life of a compact spare tire is shorter than other regular
tires. Inspect your compact spare
tire on a regular basis, and, if worn
out, replace it with the one of the
same size and the same design.
A compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor
should a compact spare wheel be
used for standard tires, snow tires,
snow tire wheel covers or snow tire
trim rings. This attempt may dam-
age the above items or other com-
ponents.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at the same time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed. When a tire or a wheel is repaired
or reinstalled, the wheel nut
torque must be correctly set to
prevent any wheel vibrations. The
correct wheel nut torque is 65 ~ 79
lb-ft (9 ~ 11 kg.m).NOTICE

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.
