WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
o Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of brak-
ing effectiveness, steering con-
trol, and traction.
o Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to un-
even wear and tire failure.
o When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.
o Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics and poor vehicle con-
trol, resulting in a serious acci-
dent.
I090B02JM-AATTIRE MAINTENANCE
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire is worn un-
evenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire shoud always
be rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel. o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor ve-
hicle control.
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-
less of the remaining tread, it is
recommended that tires tread, It is
recommended that tires generally
be replaced after 6 years of normal
service. Heat caused by not to hot
climates or frequent high loading
Conditions can accelerate the ag-
ing process. Failure to follow this
Warning can result in sudden tire
failure, which could lead to a loss
of control and an accident involv-
ing serious injury or death.
o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can
affect wheel speed. When replac-
ing tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size originally supplied with
the vehicle. Using tires of a differ-
ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) (If Installed)
to work irregularly.WARNING:
WARNING:
o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of
vehicle control, and sudden tire
failure leading to accidents, inju-
ries, and even death. Always
check tires are properly inflated
before driving. Refer to pages 2-
20 and 8-3 for proper tire pres-
sures and further information.
