Tires and Wheels
WARNING Tire failure may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident. To
reduce risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following
precautions:
• Inspect your tires monthly for proper inflation as well as wear and
damage.
• The recommended cold tire pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the tire
label located on the driver’s side
center pillar. Always use a tire
pressure gauge to measure tire
pressure. Tires with too much or
too little pressure wear unevenly
causing poor handling.
• Check the pressure of the spare every time you check the pressure
of the other tires on your vehicle.
• Replace tires that are worn, show uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, or
traction.
• ALWAYS replace tires with the same size, type, construction and
tread pattern as each tire that was
originally supplied with this vehicle.
Using tires and wheels other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling
characteristics, poor vehicle
control, or negatively affect your
vehicle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.

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.

Check Tire Inflation Pressure
Check your tires, including the spare
tire, once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to check tire pressure. You can
not tell if your tires are properly
inflated simply by looking at them.
Radial tires may look properly inflated
when they are under-inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tire inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the tire and loading
information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the
pressure is low, add air until you
reach the recommended pressure.
Make sure to put the valve caps back
on the valve stems. Without the valve
cap, dirt or moisture could get into
the valve core and cause air leakage.
If a valve cap is missing, install a new
one as soon as possible.
If you overfill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the tire valve. Recheck the
tire pressure with the tire gauge. Be
sure to put the valve caps back on the
valve stems. Without the valve cap,
dirt or moisture could get into the
valve core and cause air leakage. If a
valve cap is missing, install a new one
as soon as possible.
Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, HYUNDAI
recommends that the tires be rotated
according to the maintenance
schedule 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 wheel lug nut
tightness (proper torque is 79-94
lbf·ft (11-13kgf·m).
B9005001
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
Information When installing an unsymmetrical tire,
install the side marked “outside” facing
out.

front or two rear tires (or wheels) as
a pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling.
• Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless
of the remaining tread, HYUNDAI
recommends that tires 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 tire failure, which
could lead to a loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.

WARNING The original tire 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 tire is for emergency
use only. Do not operate your vehicle
over 50 mph (80 km/h) when using
the compact spare tire.

Wheel Replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width,
and offset.
Tire Traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tire Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire should always
be rebalanced if it is removed from
the wheel.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also
provides the Tire Identification
Number (TIN) for safety standard
certification. The TIN can be used to
identify the tire in case of a recall.
