CONSUMER INFORMATION & REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
o
o
Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han-
dling.
Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
I050A01S-AAT
TIRE CHAINS
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be
sure to check the wheel nut torque.
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the
proper size and that they are installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-
tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:
o
Do not use the temporary spare tire for
tire rotation.
o
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires
under any circumstances. This may cause
unusual handling characteristics that
could result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o
Checkpressureswhenthetiresarecold.That
is, after the car has been parked for at least
threehoursandhasn'tbeendrivenmorethan
one mile or 1.6 km since starting up.
WARNING:
When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

Check the pressure of your spare tire each
time you check the pressure of other tires.

TIRE BALANCING
I060A02A-AAT
TIRE ROTATION
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.
I040A01S-AAT
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; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
I080A01A-AAT
TIRE TRACTION
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
side center pillar outer panel, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or
on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-
placed when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control, slow
down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the
road.
SSA8050A
Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles
(12,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearing
unevenly between rotations, have the car
checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may
be corrected.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.
