Maintenance
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tyres are rotated.
Information
The outside and inside of an unsym-
metrical tyre is distinguishable. When
installing an unsymmetrical tyre, be
sure to install the side marked "out-
side" facing the outside. If the side
marked "inside" is installed on the
outside, it will have a negative effect
on vehicle performance.
Wheel alignment and tyre bal-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
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.
Incorrect wheel weights can dam-
age your vehicle’s aluminium
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.

■ With a full-size spare tyre (if equipped)
■Without a spare tyre
Do not use the compact spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tyres under any circum-
stances. This may cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

Maintenance
Tyre replacement
If the tyre 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 of tread left
on the tyre. Replace the tyre when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.When replacing the tyres, recheck
and tighten the wheel nuts after
driving about 620 mile. If the steer-
ing wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates while driving, the tyre is
out of balance. Align the tyre bal-
ance. If the problem is not solved,
we recommend that you contact
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicatorTo reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tyres can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.
Always replace tyres with the
same size as each tyre that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tyres and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
(Continued)
WARNING

7-52
Maintenance
(Continued)
When replacing tyres (or
wheels), it is recommended to
replace the two front or two
rear tyres (or wheels) as a
pair. Replacing just one tyre
can seriously affect your vehi-
cle’s handling.
Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, HYUNDAI recommends
that tyres be replaced after six
(6) years of normal service.
Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading condi-
tions can accelerate the aging
process. Failure to follow this
warning may cause sudden
tyre failure, which could lead
to a loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Replacing tyres
Driving on worn-out tyres is
very hazardous and will
reduce braking effectiveness,
steering accuracy, and trac-
tion.
Your vehicle is equipped with
tyres designed to provide for
safe ride and handling capa-
bility. Do not use a size and
type of tyre and wheel that is
different form the one that is
originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and
serious injury. When replacing
the tires, be sure to equipped
all four tires with the tire and
wheel of the same size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capability.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The use of any other tyre size
or type may seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clear-
ance, stopping distance, body
to tyre clearance, snow tyre
clearance, and speedometer
reliability.
It is best to replace all four
tyres at the same time. If that
is not possible, or necessary,
then replace the two front or
two rear tyres as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling.
The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tyre
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tyres, all 4
tyres must use the same size
originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tyres of a dif-
ferent size can cause the
ABS(Anti-lock Brake System)
and ESC(Electronic Stability
Control)(if equipped) to work
irregularly.

Maintenance
Compact spare tyre replace-
ment (if equipped)
A compact spare tyre has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tyre.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tyre.
The replacement compact spare tyre
should be the same size and design
tyre as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tyre
wheel. The compact spare tyre is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tyre wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tyre.
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres 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. The original tyre should be
repaired or replaced as soon as
possible to avoid failure of the
spare and loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. The com-
pact spare tyre is for emergency
use only. Do not operate your
vehicle over 80 km/h when using
the compact spare tyre.
WARNING
(Continued)
For replacement with an
unsymmetrical tyre, you
should check the
outside/inside of the unsym-
metrical tyre. Make sure that
the outside mark should
locate in the outward direc-
tion. If not, it may adversely
affect vehicle performance,
riding comfort, and tyre worn-
out rates.
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling char-
acteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer
and odometer calibration, head-
lamp aim and bumper height.
WARNING

Maintenance
Tyre maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tyre wear. If you find a tyre is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tyre life. Additionally, a tyre should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tyre sidewall labelling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tyre and also provides
the tyre identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tyre in
case of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is
shown.
2. Tyre size designation
A tyre’s sidewall is marked with a tyre
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-
ment tyres for your vehicle. The fol-
lowing explains what the letters and
numbers in the tyre size designation
mean.Example tyre size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an
example only; your tyre size designa-
tor could vary depending on your
vehicle.)
205/55R16 91H
205 - Tyre width in millimetres.
55 - Aspect ratio. The tyre’s section
height as a percentage of its
width.
R - Tyre construction code (Radial).
16 - Rim diameter in inches.
91 - Load Index, a numerical code
associated with the maximum
load the tyre can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the
speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.

Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
ever have to replace one. The follow-
ing explains what the letters and
numbers in the wheel size designa-
tion mean.
Example wheel size designation:
6.5JX16
6.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
16 - Rim diameter in inches.
Tyre speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger vehicle tyres.
The speed rating is part of the tyre
size designation on the sidewall of
the tyre. This symbol corresponds to
that tyre’s designed maximum safe
operating speed.
3. Checking tyre life (TIN : Tyre
Identification Number)
Any tyres that are over six years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(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), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tyre consisting of numbers
and English letters. The manufactur-
ing date is designated by the last four
digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT shows a
plant code number, tyre size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1519 represents
that the tyre was produced in the
15th week of 2019.

4. Tyre ply composition and
material
The number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric in the tyre. Tyre
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tyre, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D“ means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means restrained-bias ply
construction.
5. Maximum permissible infla-
tion pressure
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 recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried 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.
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:
TREAD WEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tyre when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tyre grad-
ed 150 would wear one-and-a-half
times (1½) 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, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tyres.
The tyres available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tyre’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on speci-
fied government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tyre marked C
may have poor traction performance.

Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), then B and C representing
the tyre’s resistance to the genera-
tion of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor lab-
oratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tyre to
degenerate and reduce tyre life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tyre failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Low aspect ratio tyres
Low aspect ratio tyres, the aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because low aspect ratio tyres are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than a
standard tyre. Also low aspect ratio
tyres tend to be wider and conse-
quently have a greater contact patch
with the road surface. In some
instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard
tyres.

Maintenance
The temperature grade for this
tyre is established for a tyre that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
under-inflation, over-inflation,
or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination,
can cause heat build-up and
possible sudden tyre failure.
This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to
this tyre is based on straight-
ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
WARNING

7-58
Maintenance
Because the sidewall of a low
aspect ratio tyre is shorter than
a standard tyre, the rim of the
wheel and the tyre itself is more
easily susceptible to damage.
Use caution when driving and
follow the guidelines below to
help minimise damage to the
wheel and tyre:
When driving on a rough road
or driving off a road, be careful
not to damage the tyres and
wheels. After driving, inspect
the tyres and wheels.
When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive the vehicle slowly
so as not to damage the tyres
and wheels.
(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
If the tyre is subjected to a
severe impact, we recom-
mend you have the tyre and
wheel inspected by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
Inspect the tyre condition and
pressure every 3,000 km to
prevent tyre damage.
It is not easy to recognise tyre
damage with your own eyes.
But if there is the slightest hint
of tyre damage, have the tyre
checked or replaced because
the tyre damage may cause air
leakage from the tyre.
If the tyre is damaged by driv-
ing on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, it will not be covered by
the warranty.

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver’s side panel
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment.
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 be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse panel. Before replacing a blown
fuse, turn the engine and all switches
off, and then disconnect the negative
battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-
ing.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and immedi-
ately consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.Information
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, car-
tridge type, and multi fuse for higher
amperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-
tem.

NEVER replace a fuse with
anything but another fuse of
the same rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or alu-
minium foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.
