The engine number is stamped on the engine block as shown in the drawing. I020A01A-AAT TIRE INFORMATION The tires supplied on your new Hyundai are chosen to provide the best perfor-mance for normal driving. I030A03TB-GAT RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRESSURES The tire label located in the glove box gives the tire pressures recommended for your car.
These pressures were chosen to pro-vide the most satisfactory combination of ride comfort, tire wear and stabilityunder normal conditions. Tire pres- sures should be checked at least monthly. Proper tire inflation pressuresshould be maintained for these rea- sons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pres-
sures cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance ofdamage from impacts and causeuneven tread wear.

I050A01TB-GAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size andthat they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize tire and chain wear, donot continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.
I040A01S-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and havethe 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 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires on the tire label on, or up to the maxi- mum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.
!WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o Don't use the tire chains in 185/ 55R 15 tire to prevent body dam-age.
o If you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent
from a body damage after driving0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been drivenmore than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.

I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are im-properly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
I060A01FC-GAT TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between rotations, 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 wheel nut tightness.
HA1409Spare tire
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-
ply tires under any circum- stances. This may cause danger- ous handling characteristics.
!
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wear indica- tors appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be re-placed when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires withthose of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundaispecification.
