Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on
the driver's door sill at the center
pillar and shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle,
including all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on your front and
rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be
sure to spread out your load equally
on both sides of the centerline.
WARNING Overloading
• Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle
capacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can affect your vehicle's
handling and braking ability, and
cause an accident.

• Do not overload your vehicle. Overloading your vehicle can cause
heat buildup in your vehicle's tires and
possible tire failure, increased stopping
distances and poor vehicle handling-all
of which may result in a collision.

WARNING If you carry items inside your vehicle
(for example, suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else), they are
moving as fast as the vehicle. If you
have to stop or turn quickly, or if there
is a crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they strike
the driver or a passenger.
• Put items in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
• Do not stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of
the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle.
• When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.

Trailer Towing
We do not recommend using this vehicle
for trailer towing.

Tire Care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum electric energy economy,
you must always maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
OJK010021
All specifications (sizes and
pressures) can be found on a label
attached to the driver’s side center
pillar.
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 one mile (1.6
km).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures by
4 to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure or the tires will be
under-inflated. For recommended
inflation pressure, refer to the “Tires
and Wheels” section in chapter 2.
WARNING • Recommended pressures must be maintained for the best ride,
vehicle handling, and minimum tire
wear.
• Over-inflation or under-inflation can reduce tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tire failure that may result
in loss of vehicle control resulting in
a collision.
• Severe under-inflation may lead to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation, and
other tire failures that result in loss
of vehicle control resulting in a
collision. This risk is much higher on
hot days and when driving for a
long time at high speeds.
• Under-inflation may cause excessive wear, poor handling, and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation is also possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Over-inflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of
the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.

Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the
tire’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 tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire 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 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.

Tire Terminology and

The amount of air inside the tire
pressing outward on the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in lbs. per
square in. (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).Accessory weight

optional accessories. Some examples
of optional accessories are gear,
power seats, and air conditioning.

Bias ply tire
A pneumatic tire in which the plies
are laid at alternate angles less than
90 degrees to the centerline of the

Cold tire pressure
The amount of air pressure in a tire,
measured in lbs. per square in. (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has
built up heat from driving.
Curb weight
This means the weight of a motor
vehicle with standard and optional
equipment including the maximum
capacity of fuel, oil and coolant, but
without passengers and cargo.

contact with the road.
Treadwear indicators
Narrow bands, sometimes called
“wear bars”, that show across the
tread of a tire when only 1/16 in. of
tread remains.
UTQGS
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Standards is a tire information system
that provides consumers with ratings
for a tire’s traction, temperature and
treadwear. Ratings are determined
by tire manufacturers using
government testing procedures. The
ratings are molded into the sidewall
of the tire.
Vehicle capacity weight

Vehicle maximum load on the tire
Load on an individual tire due to curb
and accessory weight plus maximum
occupant and cargo weight.
Vehicle normal load on the tire
Load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each
axle its share of the curb weight,
accessory weight, and normal
occupant weight and dividing by 2.
Vehicle placard
A label permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the original
equipment tire size and
recommended inflation pressure.
All Season Tires
HYUNDAI specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road
conditions. All season tires are
identified by ALL SEASON and/or
M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better snow
traction than all season tires and may
be more appropriate in some areas.
Summer Tires
HYUNDAI specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have the tire traction
rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on the
tire side wall. If you plan to operate
your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, HYUNDAI recommends
the use of snow tires or all season
tires on all four wheels.
Snow Tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels;
otherwise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on the driver’s side of
the center pillar, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
Radial-Ply Tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The
radial-ply tires used on this vehicle
are of belted construction, and are
selected to complement the ride and
handling characteristics of your
vehicle. Radial-ply tires have the
same load carrying capacity, as
bias-ply or bias belted tires of the
same size, and use the same
recommended inflation pressure.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with bias-ply
or bias belted tires is not
recommended. Any combinations of
radial-ply and bias-ply or bias belted
tires when used on the same vehicle
will seriously deteriorate vehicle
handling. The best rule to follow is:
Identical pairs of radial-ply tires
should always be used as a set for the
front tires and a set for the rear tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
