Maintenance
TIRES AND WHEELS
Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
• Underinflation
also
results
in
excessive wear, poor handling and
reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•
Overinflation produces a harsh ride,
excessive wear at the center of the
tire tread, and a greater possibility
of damage from road hazards.
Recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressures
All tire pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the
vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
OHG050081L
All specifications (sizes and pres- • Warm tires normally exceed rec-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.
ommended cold tire pressures by 4
to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not
release air from warm tires to
adjust the pressure or the tires will
be underinflated.
Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation
valve caps. Without the valve cap,
dirt or moisture could get into the
valve core and cause air leakage. If
a valve cap is missing, install a
new one as soon as possible.
1
mile (1.6 km).
WARNING - Tire under
inflation
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pressure,
refer to “Tire and wheels” in section 8.
•
Inflate your tires consistent with
the instructions provided in this
manual. Severe underinflation
can lead to severe heat build-up,
causing blowouts, tread separa-
tion and other tire failures that
can result in the loss of vehicle
control leading to severe injury
or death.This risk is much high-
er on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
