Wheel alignment and tire bal
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
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.
Improper wheel weights can damage
your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use
only approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
If the tire 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 (1/16 inch) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac
ing the tire.
When replacing the tires, recheck
and tighten the wheel nuts after driv
ing about 1,000 km (620 miles). If the
steering wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates while driving, the tire is out
of balance. Align the tire balance. If
the problem is not solved, we recom
mend that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
