Tire rotation  
To equalize tread wear, HYUNDAI  
recommends that the tires be rotated 
every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) or sooner 
if irregular wear develops. 
During rotation, check the tires for  
correct balance. 
When rotating tires, check for uneven  
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is 
usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, 
improper wheel alignment, out-of-
balance wheels, severe braking or severe 
cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in 
the tread or side of the tire. Replace the 
tire if you find any of these conditions. 
Replace the tire if fabric or cord is visible. 
After rotation, be sure to bring the front 
and rear tire pressures to specification 
and check lug nut tightness (proper 
torque is 11~13 kgf·m [79~94 lbf·ft]).
Without a spare tire
ODH073802
Disc brake pads should be inspected for  
wear whenever tires are rotated.
 Information
The outside and inside of the  
unsymmetrical tire is distinguishable. 
When installing an unsymmetrical tire, be 
sure to install the side marked “outside” facing the outside. If the side marked “inside” is installed on the outside, it will have a negative effect on vehicle performance. 
 WARNING
•	 Do not use the compact spare tire for  
tire rotation.
•	 Do not mix bias ply and radial ply 
tires under any circumstances. 
This may cause unusual handling 
characteristics that may cause loss 
of vehicle control resulting in an 
accident.
Wheel alignment and tire  
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned  
and balanced carefully at the factory to 
give you the longest tire life and best 
overall performance. 
In most cases, you will not need to have  
your wheels aligned again. However, 
if you notice unusual tire 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.
NOTICE
Incorrect wheel weights can damage  
your vehicle’s aluminum wheels. Use 
only approved wheel weights.

Fuse switch
OOSEV070012L
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
OPDE046119
If the fuse switch is OFF, “Turn on FUSE  
SWITCH” message will appear. 
NOTICE
•	 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.
