! $ # " # $ $ #Tire care For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle. Recommended cold tire inflation
pressures All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pressure,
refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter
8. All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.

Tire underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10
psi) or more) can lead to severe
heat build-up, ca using blowouts,
tread separation and other tire fail-
ures that can result in the loss of
vehicle contro l leading to severe
injury or death. This risk is much
higher on hot days and when driv-
ing for long pe riods at high
speeds.

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)
