for your vehicle can be found in this

Always use a tyre pressure gauge to
measure tyre pressure. Tyres with
too much or too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor handling.

Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY:
[ Replace tyres that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged. Worn
tyres can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, and
traction.
[ Always replace tyres with the same
size as each tyre that was originally
supplied with this vehicle. Using
tyres and wheels other than the
recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively

accident.
[ When replacing tyres (or wheels), it
is recommended to replace the two
front or two rear tyres (or wheels)
as a pair. Replacing just one tyre
can seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling.
[ Tyres degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regardless
of the remaining tread, HYUNDAI
recommends that tyres be replaced
after six (6) years of normal service.
[ Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. Failure
to follow this warning may cause
sudden tyre failure, which could lead
to a loss of vehicle control resulting
in an accident.
Compact spare tyre replacement
(if equipped)
A compact spare tyre has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tyre.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tyre.
The replacement compact spare tyre
should be the same size and design
tyre as the one provided with your new
vehicle and should be mounted on the
same compact spare tyre wheel. The
compact spare tyre is not designed to
be mounted on a regular size wheel,
and the compact spare tyre wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular size
tyre.
WARNING
The original tyre should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the spare and loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident. The
compact spare tyre is for emergency
use only. Do not operate your vehicle
over 50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare tyre.

Keep your garage dry
Don’t park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This creates
a favorable environment for corrosion.
This is particularly true if you wash your
vehicle in the garage or drive it into the
garage when it is still wet or covered
with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated
garage can contribute to corrosion
unless it is well ventilated so moisture is
dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should
be covered with “touch-up” paint as
soon as possible to reduce the possibility
of corrosion. If bare metal is showing
through, the attention of a qualified
body and paint shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as soon
as possible.
Don’t neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting to cause corrosion.
Check under the mats periodically to be
sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular
care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning
materials or chemicals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clean water
and thoroughly dried.
Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner
and air freshener from contacting the
interior parts because they may cause
damage or discolouration. If they do
contact the interior parts, wipe them off
immediately.
See the instructions that follow for the
proper way to clean vinyl.
NOTICE
Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTICE
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use neutral
detergents or low alcohol content
solutions. If you use high alcohol
content solutions or acid/alkaline
detergents, the colour of the leather
may fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
