Maintenance
At least monthly:
• Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash
ers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall):
• Check the radiator, heater and airconditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check the windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean
wiper blades with clean cloth
dampened with washer fluid.
• Check the headlight alignment.
• Check the muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
• Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear and function.
• Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year:
• Clean the body and door drainholes.
• Lubricate the door hinges and checks, and hood hinges.
• Lubricate the door and hood locks and latches.
• Lubricate the door rubber weather strips.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls.
• Clean the battery and terminals.
• Check the brake/clutch fluid level.

Maintenance
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom
mended that the tires be rotated
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres
sure, improper wheel alignment, out
ofbalance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tire.
Replace the tire if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tire if
fabric or cord is visible. After rotation,
be sure to bring the front and rear tire
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness.
Refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter
8.Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
Information
Rotate radial tires that have an asym
metric tread pattern only from front
to rear and not from right to left.i
CBGQ0706
CBGQ0707
CBGQ0707A
Without a spare tire
With a fullsize spare tire (if equipped)
Directional tires (if equipped)
•Do not use the compact spare
tire for tire rotation.
•Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tires under any circum
stances. This may cause unusu
al handling characteristics that
could result in death, severe
injury, or property damage.

Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tire bal
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Improper wheel weights can damage
your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use
only approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac
ing the tire.
When replacing the tires, recheck
and tighten the wheel nuts after driv
ing about 1,000 km (620 miles). If the
steering wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates while driving, the tire is out
of balance. Align the tire balance. If
the problem is not solved, we recom
mend that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
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. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road, to
reduce the possibility of losing con
trol of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheelalignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac
teristics 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.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or Brand name is shown.
2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace
ment tires for your car. The following
explains what the letters and num
bers in the tire size designationmean.
Example tire size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tire size designa
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.)
205/65R16 95H
205 Tire width in millimeters.
65 Aspect ratio. The tire’s chapter height as a percentage of its width.
R Tire construction code (Radial).
16 Rim diameter in inches.
95 Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
H Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this chapter
for additional information.
