WIPER BLADES
Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
• Use petrol, kerosene, paint thin-ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
• Attempt to move the wipers manually.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windscreen difficult to clean.
Information
Wiper blades are consumable item.
Normal wear of the wipers may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
or other components, do not attempt
to move the wipers manually.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
• In order to prevent damage to the bonnet and the wiper arms,
the wiper arms should only be
lifted when in the top wiping
position.
• Always return the wiper arms to the windscreen before driving.
Type A
1. Lift up the wiper blade clip. Then lift up the wiper blade.
2. Whilst pushing the lock (1), pull down the wiper blade (2).

TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within the
load limits and weight distribution rec-
ommended for your vehicle.
All specifications (sizes and pressures)
can be found on a label attached to the
driver’s side centre pillar.•Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam-
aged. Worn tyres can cause
loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control, or traction.
•ALWAYS replace tyres with
the same size as each tyre
that was originally supplied
with this vehicle. Using tyres
and wheels other than the rec-
ommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
Tyre failure may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident. To reduce risk of
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH,
take the following precautions:
•Inspect your tyres monthly for
proper inflation as well as
wear and damage.
•The recommended cold tyre
pressure for your vehicle can
be found in this manual and on
the tyre label located on the
driver’s side centre pillar.
Always use a tyre pressure
gauge to measure tyre pres-
sure. Tyres with too much or
too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor han-
dling.
•Check the pressure of the
spare every time you check
the pressure of the other tyres
on your vehicle.
WARNING
OOS087003R

7-28
Maintenance
Recommended cold tyre infla-
tion pressures
All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. “Cold tyres” means
the vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or has been driven
for less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Warm tyres normally exceed recom-
mended cold tyre pressures by 28 to
41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air
from warm tyres to adjust the pres-
sure or the tyres will be under-inflat-
ed. For recommended inflation pres-
sure, refer to “Tyre and Wheels” in
chapter 8.Recommended pressures must
be maintained for the best ride,
vehicle handling, and minimum
tyre wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure that
could result in loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Severe under-inflation can lead
to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and
other tyre failures that can
result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
This risk is much higher on hot
days and when driving for long
periods at high speeds.
WARNING
•Under-inflation results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation is also
possible. Keep your tyre pres-
sures at the proper levels. If a
tyre frequently needs refilling,
we recommend it be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
•Over-inflation produces a
harsh ride, excessive wear at
the centre of the tyre tread,
and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
