B750A02A-AAT How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering ofyour audio system ensures high quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to your vehicle maynot be strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strongradio stations or the presence of build- ings, bridges and other large obstruc- tions in the area.

When the air conditioning is being
used regularly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month. To check the drive belt tension, press
down on the belt halfway between theengine crankshaft and compressor pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 8.0 mm. If you have the instruments to check it with a force of 98N (22 lb.), the deflectionshould be approx. 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). If the belt is too loose, have it ad- justed by your Hyundai dealer.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
The original wheels may only be re-
placed with Hyundai Approved wheels.
Tyres of different size, construction or
tread pattern should not be intermixed on the same axle. Radial and cross plytyres should not be used on the same vehicle.
The use of tyres and wheels of non
approved sizes can be dangerous.
WARNING:
o Driving on worn or defective tyres is dangerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steering control and a serious deterioration of braking efficiency. Defective tyresmay cause vibration and loss of control through blow outs.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for saferide and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installedon your vehicle.

TYRE REPLACEMENT
0.06 in.(1.6 mm)
Wear indicator I090A02FC
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi- mately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). In addition tothis, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become bald or if there are any lumps, bulges ordeep cuts in the sidewalls or tread. Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating andshould be of the same manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.
It can affect the safety and perfor- mance of your vehicle, whichcould lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre and wheel of the same size,type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle withany tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off- road driving, you should not usethese tyres for highway driving.
o Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.Regardless of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres gen- erally be replaced after six (6)years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or fre- quent high loading conditions canaccelerate the aging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, whichcould lead to a loss of control and an accident involving seri- ous injury or death.
