Tires and Wheels
NOTICE • It is permissible to add 3 psi (20 kPa) to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically lose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12 °F (7 °C)
temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire
pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• Tire inflation pressures may vary depending on changes in elevation. If driving in areas of higher or lower elevation, be sure to check and adjust for proper tire inflation.
• Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure, as found on the sidewall of the tire(s).

CAUTION When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, brand, construction and tread
pattern supplied with the vehicle. If not, it can damage the related parts or make it work
irregularly.

Important Safety
Precautions
You will find many safety precautions and
recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual. The
safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Airbags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not to replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with airbags, always make sure
you and your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride in
your vehicle properly restrained in a rear
seat, not the front seat. Infants and small
children should be restrained in an
appropriate child restraint system. Larger
children should use a booster seat with
the lap/shoulder belt until they can use
the seat belt properly without a booster
seat.
Airbag Hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can also
cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating airbag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the primary concern when behind the
wheel and drivers need to be aware of the wide array of potential distractions, such
as drowsiness, reaching for objects,
eating, personal grooming, other
passengers, and using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when they
take their eyes and attention off the road
or their hands off the wheel to focus on
activities other than driving. To reduce
your risk of distraction and an accident:
• Set up your mobile devices (for
example, mp3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) only when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
• Only use your mobile device when allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use. Never text or email while
driving. Most countries have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some
countries and cities also prohibit
drivers from using handheld phones.
• Never let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely with your hands on the wheel as
well as your eyes and attention on the
road.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed the greater the risk, but serious
injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current
conditions regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle In Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.

or by a LATCH system in the rear seats of
the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate
rearward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured to the
seat of the vehicle. Read and comply with
the instructions for installation and use
provided by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
WARNING An improperly secured child restraint can
increase the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH in an accident. Always take the
following precautions when using a Child
Restraint System:
• NEVER install a child or infant restraint in the front passenger's seat.
• Always properly secure the child restraint to a rear seat of the vehicle.
• Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use.
• Always properly restrain your child in the child restraint.
• If the vehicle head restraint prevents proper installation of a child seat (as
described in the child restraint system
manual), the head restraint of the
respective seating position shall be
readjusted or entirely removed.
• Do not use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback, it may not provide adequate
protection in an accident.
• After an accident, have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer check the child
restraint system, seat belts, tether
anchors and lower anchors.

Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a Child Restraint System
for your child, always:
• Make sure the Child Restraint System has a label certifying that it meets
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).
• Select a Child Restraint System based on your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for use
typically provide this information.
• Select a Child Restraint System that fits the vehicle seating position where it will
be used.
• Read and comply with the warnings and instructions for installation and use
provided with the Child Restraint
System.
Child Restraint System types
There are three main types of Child
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing,
forward-facing and booster Child
Restraint Systems.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rearward-facing Child Restraint System
B3002201
A rearward-facing Child Restraint System
provides restraint with the seating
surface against the back of the child. The
harness system holds the child in place,
and in an accident, acts to keep the child
positioned in the Child Restraint Systems

Driving Your Vehicle
6-38
CAUTION Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.

Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when cornering. The center of gravity of AWD vehicles is
higher than conventional 2WD vehicles,
making them more likely to roll over
when you rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly when you are driving off-road.
WARNING Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road. You
may hurt your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose control of the
steering wheel which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip all
four tires with the same size, type, tread
patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.

WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD vehicle is raised on a jack. The
vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.

Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer to the
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
• If the vehicle needs to be operated on a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop any of
the four wheels from turning. This could
damage the AWD system.
• Never engage the parking brake while running the vehicle on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.

Winter Driving
The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very
hazardous practices. Sudden brake
applications on snowy or icy roads may
cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be necessary to install tire chains on your
tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains, a
flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket,
etc.
Snow tires
WARNING Snow tires should be equivalent in size
and type to the vehicle’s standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and handling of
your vehicle may be adversely affected.

If you mount snow tires on your vehicle,
make sure to use radial tires of the same
size and load range as the original tires.
Mount snow tires on all four wheels to
balance your vehicle’s handling in all
weather conditions. The traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads may
not be as high as your vehicle’s original
equipment tires. Check with the tire dealer for maximum speed
recommendations.
Information Do not install studded tires without first
checking local and municipal regulations for
possible restrictions against their use.

Summer tires
• Summer tires are used to maximize the
driving performance on dry roads.
• If the temperature is below 45 °F (7 °C) or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, the summer tires lose their brake
performance and traction as the tire
grip weakens significantly.
• If the temperature is below 45 °F (7 °C) or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, mount snow tires or all-season
tires of the same size with your
vehicle’s standard tire for safe driving.
Both snow and all-season tires have
M+S markings.
• When using the M+S tires, use tires with the same tread produced by the same
manufacturer for safe driving.
• When driving with the M+S tires with the lower maximum allowable speed
than that of the vehicle’s standard
summer tire, be careful not to exceed
the speed allowed for the M+S tires.

Tire chains (Wire chains)
B6015201
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they may
be damaged by mounting some types of
tire chains on them. Therefore, the use of
snow tires is recommended instead of tire
chains. If tire chains must be used, use
genuine Hyundai parts and install the tire
chain after reviewing the instructions
provided with the tire chains. Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper tire
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
• Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended
speed limit, whichever is lower.
• Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and other road hazards,
which may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
• Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel braking.

Information • Install tire chains only in pairs and on the rear tires. It should be noted that installing
tire chains on the tires will provide a greater
driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.
• Do not install studded tires without first checking local and municipal regulations
for possible restrictions against their use.

Tire chains (Auto sock)
B6015202
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of snow chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicle
equipped with aluminum wheels; snow
chains may cause damage to the wheels.
If snow chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain). Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 49

Driving Your Vehicle
6-50
CAUTION Always check chain installation for proper
mounting after driving about 0.3-0.6 mi.
(0.5-1 km) to ensure safe mounting.
Retighten or remount the chains if they
are loose.

Chain installation
When installing tire chains, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and mount
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly (less
than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with chains
installed. If you hear the chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until the noise stops. Remove
the tire chains as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emergency
warning device behind the vehicle (if
available). Always place the vehicle in P
(Park), apply the parking brake and turn
off the vehicle before installing snow
chains.

Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant that
should be used because it helps prevent
corrosion in the cooling system,
lubricates the water pump, and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with the
"Scheduled Maintenance Services"
section in chapter 9.
Before winter, have your coolant tested to
make sure that its freezing point is
sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 50

6-51
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or in a
service station.
To prevent locks from freezing
Spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes, try
to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully use
the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-freeze
solution
Add authorized window washer
anti-freeze solution, as specified on the
window washer container. Window
washer anti-freeze solution is available
from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer, and
most vehicle accessory outlets. Do not
use coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to the
vehicle paint.
Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake may freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there is
an accumulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or the brakes are wet.
When there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze: temporarily apply the
parking brake with the gear in P (Park),
then block the rear wheels, and then
release the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
may build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, check underneath the vehicle on a
regular basis, to make sure that the front
wheels and the steering components are
not blocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
carry appropriate emergency equipment,
while driving. Some of the items you may
want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables,
window scraper, gloves, ground cloth,
coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
motor compartment
Putting objects or materials in the motor
compartment may cause a motor failure.
Such damage is not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
