2004 Hyundai Matrix Owners Manual

CONSUMER INFORMATION
Tire  pressures  should  be  checked  at  least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
I040A01S-GAT
o
To prevent  body damage, retighten  the
chains after driving 0.5 ~ 1 km.
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.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air
pressure than the pressure  recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on, or up to
the  maximum   pressure  shown  on   the  tire
sidewall whichever is less.
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.
I060A01FC-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
Do not  drive  faster than  120 km/h  (75 mph)
when your car is equipped with snow  tires.
o
Check pressures when the tires are cold.
That is, after the car has been parked for
at least three hours and hasn't been driv-
en more  than 1.6 km  or one mile  since
starting up.
I050A01E-GAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on
the front  wheels. Be sure  that the chains  are
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-
ue to use tire chains  when they are no longer
needed.
HA1409
Spare tire
o
o
Check  the pressure  of  your spare  tire
each  time  you  check  the  pressure  of
other tires.
Never overload  your car.  Be especially
careful about  overloading  if you  equip
your car with  a luggage rack or car  top
carrier.
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000
miles). If you notice  that tires are wearing un-
evenly between rotations, have the car checked
by  a  Hyundai dealer  so  the  cause  may  be
corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be
sure to check wheel nut torque.
WARNING:
o
When driving on roads covered with snow
or  ice,  drive at  less  than  30  km/h (20
mph).
Use the SAE "S" class  or wire & plastic
chains.
If you have noise caused by chains con-
tacting the body,  retighten the chain  to
avoid contact with the vehicle body.
WARNING:
Do not use  the temporary spare tire for
tire rotation.
o
o
o
o
Do not  mix bias-ply and radial-ply  tires
under any circumstances. This may cause
dangerous handling characteristics.
