DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
6-24 If the vehicle has had front body repair and the headlight assembly has been replaced, theheadlight aiming should be checked using anaiming screen as shown in the illustration. Turnon the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is
parallel to center line of the body and is aligned with point "P" shown in the illustra-tion.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show the cen- ter of headlights. SPECIFICATIONS: "H" Horizontal center line of headlights from ground. : 656 mm (26.8 in.) "W" Distance between each headlight center.: 1,164 mm (47.7 in.) "L" Distance between the headlights and the wall that the lights are tested against.: 3,000 mm (118 in.).
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of
each headlight beam pattern) and the hori- zontal line (through the center of each head-light beam pattern) on the aiming screen. And then, draw the horizontal parallel line at 30 mm (1.18 in.) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -VERTICAL AIMING.
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to each vertical line with a phillips screwdriver- HORIZONTAL AIMING.

TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not contin-
ue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains.
o If you have noise caused by chains con- tacting the body, retighten the chain toavoid contact with the vehicle body. I060A01FC-GAT
TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-evenly between rotations, have the car checkedby a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause dangerous handling characteristics.
I040A01S-GAT
SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, theyshould be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on, or up tothe maximum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped with snow tires.
Tire pressures should be checked at leastmonthly. Proper tire inflation pressures shouldbe maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han- dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driv-en more than 1.6 km or one mile sincestarting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure ofother tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car topcarrier.

o To prevent body damage, retighten the
chains after driving 0.5 ~ 1 km.

TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai werebalanced before the car was delivered but mayneed balancing again during the years you ownthe car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT
TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re- placed when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slowdown whenever there is rain, snow or ice on theroad. The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. The tread wear indicators appearwhen the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). Thetire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those ofthe recommended size. If you change wheels,the new wheel's rim width and offset must meetHyundai specification.
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of brakingeffectiveness, steering control and trac-tion. When replacing tires, never mix ra-dial and bias-ply tires on the same car. Ifyou replace radial tires with bias-ply tires,they must be installed in sets of four. I100A01FC-GAT
SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Spanner, Screw
driver Jack

o Using tires and wheels of other than the recommended sizes may cause unusual handling characteristics that may causedeath, serious injury or property dam-age.

WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat pro-tected by an airbag in front of it!
o Modification to SRS components or wir- ing, including the addition of any kindof badges to the pad covers or modifi- cations to the body structure, can ad- versely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
WARNING:
o For best protection from the side airbag
system and to avoid being injured is bythe deploying side impact airbag, both front seat occupants should sit in an upright position with the seat belt prop- erly fastened. The driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00 o'clock positions. The passenger's arms and hands should be placed in their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce or prevent the effectiveness of the system.
o Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side impact airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. B240C03Y-GAT
SRS Care The SRS is virtually maintenance-free and
there are no parts you can safely service by yourself. The entire SRS system must be inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years after the date that the vehicle was manufactured.
Any work on the SRS system, such as remov-
ing, installing, repairing, or any work on thesteering wheel must be performed by a quali- fied Hyundai technician. Improper handling of the SRS system may result in serious per- sonal injury.
HFC2092-DSide airbag sensor o Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and the front seat. Such objects may be- come dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side impact air bag inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deployment of the side impact air bag that may resultin personal injury, avoid impact to the side airbag sensor when the ignition key is on.
