6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width.
For example:
TREAD wear 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate ofthe tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measuredunder controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance.The traction grade assigned tothis tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
WARNING

Maintenance
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Low aspect ratio tires
A low aspect ratio tire, of which the
aspect ratio is lower than 50, is
designed for a sporty-look vehicle.
The low aspect ratio is to optimize
handling and braking. Thus, it may
be uncomfortable to ride and it may
generate noises, in comparison with
a normal tire.
The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
under-inflation, over-inflation,
or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination,
can cause heat build-up and
possible sudden tire failure.
This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.WARNING

7-41
Maintenance
The side wall of a low aspect
ratio tire is shorter than the nor-
mal one. Thus, the low-aspect
wheel and tire are easily dam-
aged. Follow the below instruc-tions.
When driving on a rough road
or driving off a road, be care-
ful not to damage the tires
and wheels. After driving,inspect the tires and wheels.
When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or
curb stone, slowly drive the
vehicle not to damage thetires and wheels.
When there is an impact on a
tire, inspect the tire condition.
Or, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 3,000 km
(1,800 miles) to prevent a tire
damage.
It is difficult to recognize a tire
damage only with your eyes.When there is a slight hint of a
tire damage, check and replace
the tire to prevent the damage
caused by air leakage.
When a tire is damaged while
driving on a rough road, off a
road, or over obstacles, such
as a pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, your warranty does not
cover the damage.
The tire information is speci- fied on the tire side wall.

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the other in the motor com-
partment. If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse panel. Before replacing a blown
fuse, turn the vehicle and all switch-
es off, and then disconnect the neg-
ative battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-ing.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and immedi-
ately consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.

Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage thesystem.
CAUTION
NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of thesame rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or alu-
minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.

Instrument panel fuse replace- ment
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Turn all other switches OFF.
3. Open the fuse panel cover.
4. Refer to the label on the inside ofthe fuse panel cover to locate the suspected fuse location. 5. Pull the suspected fuse straight
out. Use the removal tool provided
in the motor compartment fusespanel.
6. Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are pro-
vided in the instrument panel fuse
panels (or in the motor compart-ment fuse panel).
7. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. In an emergency, if you do not have
a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same
rating from a circuit you may not
need for operating the vehicle, such
as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlamps or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the motor compartment. If a fuse is
blown, it must be replaced with the
same rating.

Fuse switch
Always, place the fuse switch to the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as the
audio system and digital clock must
be reset and the smart key may not
work properly.Information
If the fuse switch is OFF, “Turn on
FUSE SWITCH” message will appear.
Always place the fuse switch in the ON position while driving the
vehicle.
Do not move the transportation fuse switch repeatedly. The fuse
switch may be damaged.
Motor compartment panel fuse replacement
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Turn all other switches OFF.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tap and pulling up.

4. Check the removed fuse; replace itif it is blown. To remove or insert
the fuse, use the fuse puller in the
motor compartment fuse panel.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly
in the clips. If it fits loosely, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
After checking the fuse panel in
the motor compartment, securely
install the fuse panel cover. You
may hear a clicking sound if the
cover is securely latched. If it is
not securely latched, electrical
failure may occur from water con-tact.Multi fuse
If the multi fuse is blown, it must be
removed as follows:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling it up.
4. Remove the nuts shown in the pic- ture above.
5. Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
6. Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
Information
If the multi fuse is blown, consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
