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.

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.

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.

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
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires
under any circumstances. This may cause
dangerous handling characteristics.
