Low Aspect Ratio Tires
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tires.
Because low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than
a standard tire. Also low aspect
ratio tires tend to be wider and
consequently have a greater contact
patch with the road surface. In some
instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard
tires
.
CAUTION
The side wall of a low aspect ratio
tire is shorter than the normal one.
Thus, the low-aspect wheel and
tire are easily damaged. Follow the
below instructions.

[When driving on a rough road or
driving off a road, be careful not
to damage the tires and wheels.
After driving, inspect the tires
and wheels.

[ When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive the vehicle slowly so
as not to damage the tires and
wheels.

[ When there is an impact on a tire,
inspect the tire condition. Or,
you can contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 1,800 miles (3,000
km) to prevent tire damage.

[ It is difficult to recognize a tire
damage only with your eyes.
When there is a slight hint of a
tire damage, check and replace
the tire to prevent the damage
caused by air leakage.

[ When a tire is damaged while
driving on a rough road, off a
road, or over obstacles, such as a
pothole, manhole, or curb stone,
your warranty does not cover the
damage.

[ The tire information is specified
on the tire side wall.

NOTICE

[Do not use abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum wheels.

[ Clean the wheel when it has cooled.

[ Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water. Also, clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads.

[ Do not wash the wheels with high-
speed car wash brushes.

[ Do not use any cleaners containing
acid or alkaline detergents.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design
and cons

truction practices to combat
corrosion, HYUNDAI produces vehicles
of the highest quality. However, this is
only part of the job. To achieve the long-
term corrosion resistance your vehicle
can deliver, the owner’s cooperation and
assistance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on y
our vehicle are:

[ Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath
the vehicle.

[ Removal of paint or protective
coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion
or minor scrapes and dents which
leave unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion. High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle is
r

egularly exposed to corrosive materials,
corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some of the common causes
of accelerated corrosion are road salts,
dust control chemicals, ocean air and
industrial pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corr
osion 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.

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic
system are very hot while the engine is
running or immediately after the engine
is turned off. To avoid SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle
over or near flammable objects, such
as grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,
etc. A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehicle.

[ Keep away from the exhaust system
and catalytic converter or you may
get burned.
Also, Do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do not
seal the bottom of the vehicle, and
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle, take the
following precautions:

[ Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.

[ Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.

[ Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the hybrid system off and descending
steep grades in gear with the hybrid
system off.

[ Do not operate the engine at high
idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
[
Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission control
system. We recommend that all
inspections and adjustments are
made by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

[ Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
catalytic converter.
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
(if equipped)
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
system removes the soot in the exhaust
gas.
The GPF system automatically burns
(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot in
accordance with driving situations,
unlike a disposable air filter.
In other words, the accumulated soot is
automatically purged out by the engine
control system and by the high exhaust-
gas temperature at normal/high driving
speeds.
However, when the vehicle is continually
driven at repeated short distances or
driven at low speed for a long time,
the accumulated soot may not be
automatically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this case,
the accumulated soot may reach a
certain amount regardless of the soot
oxidization process, then the GPF lamp
(
) will illuminate.
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
Lamp stops illuminating, when the
driving speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h)
with engine rpm 1,500 ~ 4,000 and the
gear in the 3rd position or above for
approximately 30 minutes.
