5. Maximum permissible inflation
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 maximum section
width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
7 U H D G Z H D U
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tyre
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tyre graded 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.
7 U D F W L R Q $ $ $ % &
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 specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A
tyre marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tyre
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
Page 600 of 649

7 H P S H U D W X U H $ % &
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the tyre’s
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory 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 performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required
by law.
WARNING
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.
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 so that they consequently have
a greater contact patch with the road
surface. In some instances, they may
generate more road noise compared
with standard tyres.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, 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 rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and we
recommend that all inspect a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

We recommend that you consult with a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer to replace
most vehicle light bulbs. It is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs because
other parts of the vehicle must be
removed before you can get to the bulb.
This is especially true for removing the
headlight assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to the
vehicle.
WARNING
Prior to replacing a light, depress the
foot brake, move the shift lever into the
N (Neutral, for automatic transmission
vehicle) or neutral (for manual
transmission vehicle), apply the parking
brake, place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position, and take the key

If you park your vehicle near a stainless
steel sign or glass facade building, the
vehicle’s exterior plastic parts such
as a bumper, spoiler, garnish, lamp
or outside rearview mirror might be
damaged due to sunlight reflected
from the sign or building. To prevent
damage of the exterior plastic parts,
you should avoid parking in areas
where light may be reflected or use a
car cover. (The exterior plastic parts
applied to your vehicle may vary.)
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
: D V K L Q J
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driving,
you should wash it after each off-road trip.
Pay special attention to the removal of any
accumulation of salt, dirt, mud, and other
foreign materials. Make sure the drain
holes in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits.
A mild soap, safe for use on painted
surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.

V L R Q
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produces vehicles of the
highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-term
corrosion resistance your vehicle can
deliver, the owner’s cooperation and
assistance is also required.
& R P P R Q F D X V H V R I F R U U R V L R Q
The most common causes of corrosion
on your vehicle are:
[ Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
vehicle.
[ Removal of paint or protective
coatings; by stones, gravel, abrasion
or minor scrapes and dents which
leave unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion.
+ L J K F R U U R V L R Q D U H D V
If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive
materials, corrosion protection is
particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated
corrosion are road salts, dust control
chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.

system
The Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions whilst maintaining
good vehicle performance.

other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if
you smell exhaust fumes of any kind
inside your vehicle, have it inspected
and repaired immediately. If you ever
suspect exhaust fumes are coming
into your vehicle, drive it only with
all the windows fully open. Have
your vehicle checked and repaired
immediately.
WARNING
Engine exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide (CO). Though colourless and
odourless, it is dangerous and could be
lethal if inhaled. Follow the instructions
following to avoid CO poisoning.

Also, do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do not
seal the bottom of the vehicle and
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic

level. If you run out of petrol, it could
cause the engine to misfire and result
in excessive loading of the catalytic
converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF)
(if equipped)
The Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF) system
removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
The GPF system automatically burns
(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot in
accordance with driving situations,
unlike a disposable air filter.
In other words, the accumulated soot is
automatically purged out by the engine
control system and by the high exhaust-
gas temperature at normal/ high driving
speeds.
However, when the vehicle is continually
driven at repeated short distances or
driven at low speed for a long time,
the accumulated soot may not be
automatically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this case,
the accumulated soot may reach a
certain amount regardless of the soot
oxidization process, then the GPF lamp
will illuminate.
The Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF) Lamp
stops illuminating, when the driving
speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph) with
the engine at 1,500- 4,000 rpm and the
gear in the 3rd position or above for
approximately 30 minutes.When the GPF lamp starts to blink or
the waning message “Check exhaust
system” pops up even though the
vehicle was driven as mentioned above,
we recommend that you have the
GPF system checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
With the GPF lamp blinking for an
extended period of time, it may damage
the GPF system and lower the fuel
economy.
WARNING
Petrol Fuel
(if equipped with GPF)
We recommend you to use only the
regulated petrol fuels, when your
vehicle is equipped with the GPF
system.
When you use other petrol fuels which
contain unspecified additives, they
may damage the GPF system and cause
exhaust emission problems.
