Maintenance
Checking tire inflation pres-
sure
Remove the  valve cap  from the  tire
valve stem. Press the tire  gage firm-
ly  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  adjust-
ment is necessary. If  the pressure is
low, add  air until  you reach the  rec-
ommended amount.
If you  overfill the  tire, release air  by
pushing  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  mois-
ture.
WARNING
Check  your  tires  once  a  month  or
more.
Also, check  the  tire pressure  of the
spare tire.
•  Inspect  your  tires  frequently
for proper  inflation as well as
wear and damage. Always use
a tire pressure gauge.
•  Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear  unevenly caus-
ing poor handling, loss of vehi-
cle  control,   and  sudden  tire
failure  leading   to  accidents,
injuries,  and  even death.  The
recommended  cold  tire  pres-
sure  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  look-
ing  at  them. Radial  tires  may  look
properly  inflated even  when  they're
underinflated.
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  acci-
dents.  Replace  tires that  are
worn,  show  uneven  wear,  or
are damaged.
Remember to check  the pres-
sure
of
your
spare
tire.
HYUNDAI   recommends   that
you  check   the   spare  every
time  you check  the  pressure
of the other tires on your vehi-
cle.
