DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
13
2
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. As soon as the engine
is running smoothly, you can drive away. In
very cold weather, however, give your en-
gine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lug-
ging is driving too slowly in too high a gear
resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap-
pens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is
racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This
can be avoided by shifting at the recom-
mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.
WINTER DRIVINGSMOOTH CORNERING
C160A01A-AAT
The more severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To
minimize the problems of winter driving, you
should follow these suggestions:
C160B01A-AATSnowy or Icy Conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be
necessary to use snow tires or to install tire
chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it
is necessary to select tires equivalent in size
and type to the original equipment tires. Failure
to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous
practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on
snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance between
the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle.
Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that installing tire chains on the tire will provide
a greater driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.
NOTE:Tire chains are not legal in all states. Check
state laws before fitting tire chains.
C150A01A-AAT
Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cor-
ners should always be taken under gentle
acceleration. If you follow these suggestions,
tire wear will be held to a minimum.

3WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
5SPARE TIRE
Spare Tire Pressure
D040A01A-AAT
The following instructions for the temporary spare
tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is prac-
tical after installing the spare tire, and adjust
to the specified pressure. The tire pressure
should be periodically checked and main-
tained at the specified pressure while the tire
is stored.!
Tire Size
Inflation PressureT105/70D(R)14
60 psi (414 kPa)
CAUTION:Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.5. The temporary spare tire should not be used
on any other wheels, nor should standard
tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used with the temporary spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to these
items or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be
checked once a month while the tire is stored.
!
2. The spare tire should only be used tempo-
rarily and should be returned to the luggage
compartment as soon as the original tire can
be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph
(80 km/h) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used
on any other vehicle.
CAUTION:o Do not use snow chains with your tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one temporary
spare tire at a time.

PRESSURES

I030A01A
!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 driven more than one mile
or 1.6 km since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.
I040A01A-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 handling 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 glove
box, or up to the maximum pressure shown on
the tire sidewall whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than the speed limit when
your car is equipped with snow tires. These pressures were chosen to provide 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:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures in-
crease the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.

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 repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.
I080A01A-AATTIRE 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 when-
ever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
I090A01A-AAT
WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
Wear indicator 0.06 in. (1.6 mm)
HGK248
The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. 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 dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of brak-
ing 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 characteristics that
could cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
dimensional specifications may fit
poorly and result in damage to the
vehicle, including broken wheel studs.
