Maintenance
G200300AUN
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve
stem. Press the tire gage firmly onto the
valve to get a pressure measurement. If
the cold tire inflation pressure matches
the recommended pressure on the tire
and loading information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the pressure
is low, add air until you reach the recom-
mended amount.
Checking tire inflation pressure
WARNING
Check your tires once a month or more.
• Inspect your tires frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage. Always use a tire
pressure gauge.
Also, check the tire pressure of the spare
tire.
•
Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended
cold tire pressure for your vehicle
can be found in this manual and
on the tire label located on the dri-
ver's side center pillar.

How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires are
properly inflated simply by looking at
them. Radial tires may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
If you overfill the tire, release air by push-
ing on the metal stem in the center of the
tire valve. Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gage. Be sure to put the valve
caps back on the valve stems. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and
moisture.
Check the tire's inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than 1.6 km (1
mile).

Worn tires can cause accidents.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Remember to check the pressure
of your spare tire. HYUNDAI rec-
ommends that you check the
spare every time you check the
pressure of the other tires on
your vehicle.
