Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
Recharge your battery using a modern
automatic regulated battery charger at
the AGM battery setting.
WARNING
Always follow these instructions when
recharging your vehicle’s battery to
avoid the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid burns:

[ Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.

[ Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery.

[ Always work outdoors or in an area
with plenty of ventilation.

[ Wear eye protection when checking
the battery during charging.

[ The battery must be removed from
the vehicle and placed in a well
ventilated area.

[ The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.
Disconnect the battery charger in the
following order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.

[ Always use batteries for replacement
from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
AGM battery

[Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-free
and we recommend that the AGM
battery be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. For charging
your AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers that
are specially developed for AGM
batteries.

[ When replacing the AGM battery,
we recommend that you use parts
for replacement from an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Do not open or remove the cap on
top of the battery. This may cause
leaks of internal electrolyte that
could result in severe injury.

Maintenance9-38
WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY:

[ Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, and
traction.

[ Always replace tires with the same
size 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.

[ When replacing tires (or wheels), it
is recommended to replace the two
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.
Compact spare tire replacement
(if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The
replacement compact spare tire should
be the same size and design tire as the
one provided with your new vehicle
and should be mounted on the same
compact spare tire wheel. The compact
spare tire is not designed to be mounted
on a regular size wheel, and the compact
spare tire wheel is not designed for
mounting a regular size tire.
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.

4. Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of
rubber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include steel,
nylon, polyester, and others. The letter
“R” means radial ply construction; the
letter “D“ means diagonal or bias ply
construction; and the letter “B” means
belted-bias ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer to
the Tire and Loading Information label
for recommended inflation pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that can be
carried by the tire. When replacing the
tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that
has the same load rating as the factory
installed tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tr e a d w e a r
The tread wear grade is a comparative
r

ating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times (1½) as well
on the government course as a tire
graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires. The
tires available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary with
respect to grade.
