3. Checking tyre life (TIN : TyreIdentification Number)
Any tyres that are over 6 years, based on
the manufacturing date, tyre strength and
performance, decline with age naturally
(even unused spare tyres). Therefore, thetyres (including the spare tyre) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find the
manufacturing date on the tyre sidewall
(possibly on the inside of the wheel), dis-
playing the DOT Code. The DOT Code is
a series of numbers on a tyre consisting
of numbers and English letters. The
manufacturing date is designated by the
last four digits (characters) of the DOT
code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a plant
code number, tyre size and tread pattern
and the last four numbers indicate week
and year manufactured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1606 represents that
the tyre was produced in the 16th weekof 2006.
4. Tyre ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of rubber-
coated fabric are in the tyre. Tyre manu-
facturers also must indicate the materials
in the tyre, which include steel, nylon,
polyester, and others. The letter "R"
means radial ply construction; the letter
"D" means diagonal or bias ply construc-
tion; and the letter "B" means belted-bias
ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflationpressure
This number is the greatest amount of air
pressure that should be put in the tyre.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
inflation pressure. Refer to the Tyre and
Loading Information label for recom-
mended inflation pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum load
in kilograms and pounds that can be car-
ried by the tyre. When replacing the tyres
on the vehicle, always use a tyre that has
the same load rating as the factory
installed tyre.
WARNING - Tyre age
Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining tread,it is recommended that tyres tread,
It is recommended that tyres gener-
ally be replaced after 6 years of nor-
mal service. Heat caused by not cli-mates or frequent high loadingConditions can accelerate the
aging process. Failure to follow this
Warning can result in sudden tyre
failure, which could lead to a loss
of control and an accident involving
serious injury or death.

7. Uniform tyre quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tyre sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tyrewhen tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tyre graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times as well on the
government course as a tyre graded 100.
The relative performance of tyres depends upon the actual conditions of
their use. However, performance may dif-
fer from the norm because of variations
in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and
climate.
These grades are moulded on the side-
walls of passenger vehicle tyres. The
tyres available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicles may vary
with respect to grade. Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B and C. The grades rep-
resent the tyres ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tyre
marked C may have poor traction per-
formance.
Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the high-
est), B and C. The grades represent the
tyre’s resistance to the generation of heatand its ability to dissipate heat when test-ed under controlled conditions on a spec-
ified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tyre to degenerate and
reduce tyre life, and excessive tempera-
ture can lead to sudden tyre failure.
Grades A and B represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by the
law.WARNING - Tyre
temperature
The temperature grade for this tyre
is established for a tyre that is
properly inflated and not over-
loaded. Excessive speed, underin-
flation, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can
cause heat build-up and possible
sudden tyre failure. This can cause
loss of vehicle control and serious
injury or death.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses. This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse will bemelted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and immediately
consult an authorised Hyundai dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating and cartridge
type, fusible link for higher amperage rat-ings.

WARNING - Fuse replace-
ment
Never replace a fuse with any- thing but another fuse of the same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a
fire.
Never install a wire instead of the proper fuse - even as a temporary
repair. It may cause extensive
wiring damage and possibly a fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
All bulbs are available from your Hyundaidealers Parts Department.
✽✽ NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing, headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an authorised Hyundai dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the hand brake, ensure that
the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the same wattage rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electricwiring system.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,consult an authorised Hyundai dealer. In many cases, it is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbsbecause other parts of the vehicle must be removed before you can get to the bulb. This is especially
true if you have to remove the head- light assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installingthe headlight
assembly can result in damage to the vehicle.

APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning andcaution statements that appear on thelabel.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughlyand frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driv-
ing, you should wash it after each off-
road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are keptclear and clean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
WARNING -
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
CAUTION
Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot water, and do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when the body of the vehicle is warm.CAUTION
Water washing in the engine com-
partment including high pressurewater washing may cause the fail- ure of electrical circuits located inthe engine compartment.
Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electri-cal/electronic components insidethe vehicle as this may damage them.

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may col-
lect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur on underbody parts such as the
fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust
system, even though they have been
treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Payspecial attention to these areas because
it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It
will do more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it. The
lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and
frame members have drain holes that
should not be allowed to clog with dirt;
trapped water in these areas can cause
rusting.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.
Use only a mild soap or neutral deter- gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Also, be sure to clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-
vent corrosion.
Avoid washing the wheels with high- speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any acid detergent. It may damage and corrode the aluminum
wheels coated with a clear protectivefinish.WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.

3. Exhaust emission control system
The Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could affect
its performance, safety or durability and
may even violate governmental safety
and emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modification
may not be covered under warranty.
Engine exhaust gas precautions (car- bon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide can be present with other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you
smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside
your vehicle, have it inspected and
repaired immediately. If you ever sus-
pect exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all the
windows fully open. Have your vehicle
checked and repaired immediately. Do not operate the engine in confined
or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
When the vehicle is stopped in an open area for more than a short time
with the engine running, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to draw
outside air into the vehicle.
Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi- cle for any extended time with the
engine running.
When the engine stalls or fails to start, excessive attempts to restart the
engine may cause damage to theemission control system. Operating precautions for catalyt-
ic converters (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
Use only UNLEADED FUEL for petrol
engine.
Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-
formance.
Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse are coasting withthe ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain car-
bon monoxide (CO). Though
colourless and odourless, it is dan-
gerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
following to avoid CO poisoning.
WARNING - Fire
A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehi-
cle. Do not park, idle, or drive the
vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as dry grass, paper,
leaves, etc.
