RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRES- SURES

I030A01NF-A Tire label located on the driver's side of the center pillar outer panel gives the cold tire pressures recommended for your vehicle with the original tire size, the number of people that can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.

CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

WARNING:

o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures cause uneven tread wear, poor handling, poor fuel economy or tire failure.

o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures can cause poor han- dling, uneven tread wear or tire failure.

CAUTION:

Always observe the following:

o Check pressures when the tires are cold. (After the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or hasn't been driven more than 1
mile (1.6 km) since starting up.)

I030A03NF-A

I030A04NF-A

These pressures were chosen to pro- vide the most satisfactory combination of ride comfort, tire wear and stability under normal conditions. Tire pressures should be checked at least monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should be maintained for these reasons:

8 CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pres- sure of other tires.

o Worn, old tires can cause acci- dents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tires have been dam- aged, replace them.

I035A01JM-AAT

CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRES- SURE Check your tires once a month or more. Also, check the tire pressure of the spare tire.

How to Check Use a good quality gauge to check tire pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking 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
mile (1.6 km). Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly onto the valve to get a pressure mea- surement. If the cold tire inflation pres- sure matches the recommended pres- sure on the tire and loading information label, no further adjustment is neces- sary. If the pressure is low, add air until you reach the recommended amount. If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck the tire pres- sure with the tire gauge. Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.

I030B01NF-AAT TIRE SIDEWALL LABELING

5, 6

I030B04JM

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamen- tal characteristics of the tire and also provides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall.

CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

1. Manufacturer or Brand name

o Manufacturer or Brand name is

shown. 2. Tire size

(example: P215/60R16 94V) o The "P" indicates the tire is de-

signed for passenger vehicles.

o Three-digit number (215): This num- ber gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.

o Two-digit number (60): This num- ber, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire's ratio of height to width.

o R: The "R" stands for radial. o Two-digit number (16): This num- ber is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.

o Two digit number (94): This num- ber is the tire's load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support.

I040B01JM-AAT

ALL SEASON TIRES Hyundai specifies all season tires on some models to provide good perfor- mance for use all year round, including snowy and icy road conditions. All sea-

son tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better snow traction than all season tires an may be more appropriate in some areas.

I040C01JM-AAT

SUMMER TIRES Hyundai specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire performance is substantially reduced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire side wall. If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy conditions, Hyundai recommends the use of snow tires or all season tires on all four wheels.

I040A01O-AAT

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; otherwise, poor han- dling may result. Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's side of the center pillar , or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall, whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with snow tires.

I050A03Y-AAT

TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.

CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

! WARNING:

o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &

plastic chains.

o If you have noise caused by chains contacting the body, retighten the chain to avoid contact with the vehicle body.

o To prevent body damage, retighten the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles.

o Don't use a tire chains to the ve- hicle which aluminium wheels are installed to keep the wheels. If it is on unavoidable circumstances, use a wire chains.

o Use wire chains less than 15mm to prevent damage to the chain's con- nection.

I060A02A-AAT

TIRE ROTATION

I060A02NF Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles (12,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearing unevenly between ro- tations, 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 the wheel nut torque.

WARNING:

o Do not use the temporary spare

tire for tire rotation.

o Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause unusual handling characteristics that could result in death, serious injury, or property damage.

I070A01A-AAT

TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years you own the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for re- pair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalled on the car.

8 CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS 10

I080A01A-AAT

TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

I090A02A-AAT

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

0.06 in. (1.6 mm)

Tread wear indicator

HNF5015
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The location of tread wear indicators is shown by the "TWI" or " " marks, etc. The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The tire should be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundai specification.

! WARNING:

o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tires, never mix radial and bias ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias- ply tires, they must be installed in sets of four.

o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizes could cause unusual handling charac- teristics that could cause death, serious injury, or property dam- age.

o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's dimensional specifications may fit poorly and result in damage to the vehicle, including broken wheel studs.

I090B01JM-AAT

TIRE MAINTENANCE In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel align- ment.

When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This will increase vehicle ride comfort and tire life. Additionally, a tire shoud always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel.

I130B04A-AAT

Tire Quality Grading Department of Transportation quality grades - All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Stan- dards in addition to these grades. These quality grades are molded on the sidewall.

Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under con- trolled conditions on a specified gov- ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to varia- tions in driving habits, service prac- tices and differences in road character- istics and climate.

CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

13

Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pave- ment as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction per- formance.

! WARNING:

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead brak- ing traction tests, and does not in- clude acceleration, cornering, hy- droplaning, or peak traction charac- teristics.

Temperature A, B, C - The tempera- ture grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under con- trolled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

! WARNING:

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Exces- sive speed, underinflation, or exces- sive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Qual- ity grades can be found on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and the maximum section width. For example : Treadwear 200 Traction AA Tempera- ture A
