Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tires ability to
stop on wet pavement as measuredunder controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance. Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by the
law.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
WARNING - Tire temperature
The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible sudden
tire failure. This can cause loss
of vehicle control and serious
injury or death.

Low aspect ratio tire (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tires.CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the lowaspect ratio tire is shorter thanthe normal, the wheel and tire of the low aspect ratio tire is easi-er to be damaged. So, follow theinstructions below.
- When driving on a rough road or off road, drive cautiouslybecause tires and wheels maybe damaged. And after driving,inspect tires and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that thetires and wheels are not dam-aged.
- If the tire is impacted, we rec- ommend that you inspect thetire condition or contact anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- To prevent damage to the tire, inspect the tire condition andpressure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
 It is not easy to recognize the tire damage with your owneyes. But if there is the slight- est hint of tire damage, eventhough you cannot see the tiredamage with your own eyes, have the tire checked orreplaced because the tiredamage may cause air leak- age from the tire.
 If the tire is damaged by driv- ing on a rough road, off road,pothole, manhole, or curbstone, it will not be covered by the warranty.
 You can find out the tire infor- mation on the tire sidewall.

1. Remove the front bumper under cover.
2. Reach your hand into the back of the
front bumper.
3. Disconnect the power connector from the socket.
4. Remove the bulb-socket from the housing by turning the socket counter
clockwise until the tabs on the socketalign with the slots on the housing.
5. Install the new bulb-socket into the housing by aligning the tabs on the
socket with the slots in the housing.
Push the socket into the housing and
turn the socket clockwise.
6. Connect the power connector to the socket.
7. Reinstall the front bumper under cover. Headlight and front fog light aim-
ing (for Europe)
Headlight aiming
1. Inflate the tires to the specified pres-
sure and remove any loads from the
vehicle except the driver, spare tire,
and tools.
2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines pass- ing through respective head lamp cen-
ters) and a horizontal line (Horizontalline passing through center of headlamps) on the screen. 4. With the head lamp and battery in nor-
mal condition, aim the head lamps so
the brightest portion falls on the hori-
zontal and vertical lines.
5. To aim the low/high beam left or right, turn the driver (2) clockwise or coun-
terclockwise. To aim the low/high beam
up or down, turn the driver (1) clock-
wise or counterclockwise.
