Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit

[Park your car at the side of the road
so that you can work with the Tyre
Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.

[To be sure your vehicle does not
move, even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake.

[Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car tyres.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tyre can be
sealed using the tyre mobility kit.

[Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tyres.

[When the tyre and wheel are
damaged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.

[Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit may not be
effective for tyre damage larger than
approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).
We recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
[Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
if a tyre is severely damaged by
driving run flat or with insufficient air
pressure.

[Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tyre.

[Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
engine running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery.

[Never leave the Tyre Mobility Kit
unattended whilst it is being used.

[Do not leave the compressor running
for more than 10 min. at a time or it
may overheat.

[Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if the
ambient temperature is below -22°F
(-30°C).

The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the tyre’s
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tyre to degenerate
and reduce tyre life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tyre
failure. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required
by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tyre is
established for a tyre 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 tyre
failure. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Low aspect ratio tyres
Low aspect ratio tyres, the aspect ratio
is lower than 50, are provided for sporty
looks.
Because low aspect ratio tyres are
optimized for handling and braking, their
sidewall is a little stiffer than a standard
tyre. Also, low aspect ratio tyres tend to
be wider so that they consequently have
a greater contact patch with the road
surface. In some instances, they may
generate more road noise compared
with standard tyres.
CAUTION

NOTICE
If you park your vehicle near a stainless
steel sign or glass facade building, the
vehicle’s exterior plastic parts such
as a bumper, spoiler, garnish, lamp
or outside rearview mirror might be
damaged due to sunlight reflected
from the sign or building. To prevent
damage of the exterior plastic parts,
you should avoid parking in areas
where light may be reflected or use a
car cover. (The exterior plastic parts
applied to your vehicle may vary.)
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
:DVKLQJ
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driving,
you should wash it after each off-road trip.
Pay special attention to the removal of any
accumulation of salt, dirt, mud, and other
foreign materials. Make sure the drain
holes in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits.
A mild soap, safe for use on painted
surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.

Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major repair
expense.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement,
be sure the body shop applies anti-
corrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle
(if equipped)
In case of matte paint finish vehicles,
it is impossible to modify only the
damaged area and repair of the whole
part is necessary. If the vehicle is
damaged and painting is required, we
recommend that you have your vehicle
maintained and repaired by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. Take extreme care,
as it is difficult to restore the quality
after the repair.

areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on underbody parts
such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan
and exhaust system, even though they
have been treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter.
Pay special attention to these areas
because it is difficult to see all the mud
and dirt. It will do more harm than good
to wet down the road grime without
removing it. The lower edges of doors,
rocker panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be allowed
to clog with dirt; trapped water in these
areas can cause rusting.

Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to occur.
For example, corrosion is accelerated
by high humidity, particularly when
temperatures are just above freezing. In
such conditions, the corrosive material is
kept in contact with the vehicle surfaces
by moisture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because
it is slow to dry and holds moisture in
contact with the vehicle. Although the
mud appears to be dry, it can still retain
moisture and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be
dispersed. For all these reasons, it is
particularly important to keep your
vehicle clean and free of mud or
accumulations of other materials. This
applies not only to the visible surfaces
but particularly to the underside of the
vehicle.
7RKHOSSUHYHQWFRUURVLRQ
You can help prevent corrosion from
getting started by observing the
following:
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is
to keep your vehicle clean and free of
corrosive materials. Attention to the
underside of the vehicle is particularly
important.

[If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra
care to prevent corrosion. In winter,
hose off the underside of your vehicle
at least once a month and be sure to
clean the underside thoroughly when
winter is over.

[When cleaning underneath the
vehicle, give particular attention to the
components under the fenders and
other areas that are hidden from view.
Do a thorough job; just dampening the
accumulated mud rather than washing
it away will accelerate corrosion rather
than prevent it. Water under high
pressure and steam are particularly
effective in removing accumulated
mud and corrosive materials.

[When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members, be
sure that drain holes are kept open so
that moisture can escape and not be
trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.
