WARNING - Tire underin-
flation
Severe underinflation (10 psi (70 kPa) or more) can lead to severe heat build-up, causing blowouts, tread separation and other tire failures that can result in the loss of vehicle control leading to severe injury or death. This risk is much higher on hot days and when driving for long periods at high speeds.
Maintenance
TIRES AND WHEELS G200100AUN 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.
G200200ACM Recommended cold tire inflation 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 1 mile (1.6 km). 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.
32
OCM070048L All specifications (sizes and pres- sures) can be found on a label attached to the vehicle.
CAUTION
(cid:129) Underinflation also results in excessive wear,poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Wheel deformation also is possible.Keep your tire pres- sures at the proper levels.If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by an author- ized HYUNDAI dealer.
(cid:129) Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread,and a greater possibility of dam- age from road hazards.
CAUTION
(cid:129) Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pres-
sures by 4 to 6 psi (28 to 41
kPa). Do not release air from
warm tires to adjust the pres-
sure or the tires will be under-
inflated.
(cid:129) 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.
WARNING - Tire inflation Overinflation or underinflation can reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling, and lead to sudden tire failure. This could result in loss of vehicle control and potential injury.
Maintenance
CAUTION - Tire pressure Always observe the following: (cid:129) Check tire pressure when the tires are cold. (After vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or hasn't been driv- en more than 1 mile (1.6 km) since startup.)
(cid:129) Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure of other tires.
(cid:129) Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload a vehicle luggage rack if your vehicle is equipped with one. (cid:129) Worn,old tires can cause acci- dents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tires have been damaged,replace them.
