CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
Filter inspection
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in the severely
air-polluted cities or on dusty rough
roads for a long period, it should be
inspected more frequently and replaced
earlier. When you, the owner, replace
the climate control air filter, replace it
performing the following procedure,
and be careful to avoid damaging other
components.

• Wear eye protection when checking
the battery during charging.
• The battery must be removed from
the vehicle and placed in a well
ventilated area.
• Watch the battery during charging,
and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin boiling
violently.
• The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.
Disconnect the battery charger in the
following order:
(1) Turn off the battery charger main
switch.
(2) Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
(3) Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.
• Always use a genuine HYUNDAI
approved battery or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle when you
replace the battery. By jump starting
After a jump start from a good battery,
drive the vehicle for 20-30 minutes
before it is shutoff. The vehicle may
not restart if you shut it off before the
battery had a chance to adequately
recharge. See “Jump Starting” in chapter
8 for more information on jump starting
procedures.
Information
An inappropriately disposed of battery can be harmful to the
environment and human health.
Dispose of the battery according to your
local law(s) or regulations.
Reset items
The following items may need to be reset
after the battery has been discharged or
the battery has been disconnected. • Auto up/down window
• Sunroof
• Trip computer
• Climate control system
• Clock
• Audio system

Tire replacement
OLMB073027
A
[A] : Tread wear indicator 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 in.) 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 replacing the tire.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY: • Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, and
traction.
• Always replace tires with the same
size as each tire that was originally
supplied with this vehicle. Using
tires and wheels other than the
recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) resulting in a serious
accident. •
When replacing tires (or wheels), it
is recommended to replace the two
front or two rear tires (or wheels)
as a pair. Replacing just one tire
can seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling. If only replacing one pair of
tires, it is recommended to install the
pair of new tires on the rear axle.
• Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regardless
of the remaining tread, HYUNDAI
recommends that tires be replaced
after six (6) years of normal service.
• Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. Failure
to follow this warning may cause
sudden tire failure, which could lead
to a loss of vehicle control resulting
in an accident.

5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer to
the Tire 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 tire. When replacing the
tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that
has the same load rating as the factory
installed tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example: TREAD WEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMpERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times (1½) as well
on the government course as a tire
graded 100.
The relative performance of tires 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 tires. The
tires available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary with
respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
