DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
24
It should be noted that installing tire chains
on the tire will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.NOTE:o Tire chains are not legal in all states.
Check state laws before fitting tire
chains.
o When using tire chains, attach them
to the drive wheels as follows.
2WD : Front wheels
AWD : All four wheels
In some unavoidable circumstances,
install them on only the front wheels,
not the rear wheels.
C160A01A-AATThe more severe weather conditions of
winter result in greater wear and other
problems. To minimize the problems of
winter driving, you should follow these
suggestions:C160B01CM-AATSnowy or Icy ConditionsTo drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be necessary to use snow tires or to install
tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are
needed, it is necessary to select tires
equivalent in size and type of the original
equipment tires. Failure to do so may ad-
versely affect the safety and handling of
your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very haz-
ardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applica-
tions on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient
distance between the vehicle in operation
in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently.WINTER DRIVING
SMOOTH CORNERINGC150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally,
corners should always be taken under
gentle acceleration. If you follow these
suggestions, tire wear will be held to a
minimum.

D080B01CM-AATTowing a 4 Wheel Drive Vehicle
OCM054033dollydolly
When towing a AWD vehicle, it must be
towed by lifting all 4 wheels or using the
towing dolly.
CAUTION:
o The AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the ground.
This can cause serious damage to the
transaxle or the AWD system.
o When towing the vehicle, take care
not to cause damage to the bumper or
underbody of the vehicle.
!
OCM054034
o Do not tow with a sling type truck as
this may cause damage to the bumper
or underbody of the vehicle.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
!
CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. If your vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transaxle,
do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph
(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25
km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the key in the "ACC" position. A
driver must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes. (3)Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to the
towing hook on the rear bumper.
NOTE:o To avoid serious damage to your AWD
vehicle, limit the towing to 10 mph (15
km/h) and not for more than 1 mile (1.5
km) at ANY TIME.
o Before towing, check the level of the
automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below
the 75°C range on the dipstick, add
fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing
dolly must be used.
CAUTION:
If the Engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will
not work so steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.
!
This could result in serious damage to your
car. Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing, be
sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key
is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the
"ON" position (with the engine running). A
driver must be in the towed car to steer it
and operate the brakes.
CAUTION
It should be tightened firmly with your
fingers until there is no more play in the
towing hole. Towing hook is located in the
luggage compartment.
!
When using the rear towing hook
(1)To open the towing cover push it with
your finger.
(2)To mount the towing hook, rotate it clock-
wise.

I050A01CM-AATTire Chains
When using tire chains, attach them to
the drive wheels as follows.
2WD : Front wheels
AWD : All four wheels
In some unavoidable circumstances,
install them on only the front wheels,
not the rear wheels.
Be sure that the chains are installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not
continue to use tire chains when they
are no longer needed.
I040A01O-AATSnow Tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and have
the same load capacity as the original
tires. Snow tires should be installed on
all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-
dling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires on
the tire label on the driver's side of the
center pillar , or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
I040B01JM-AATAll Season Tires
Hyundai specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good perfor-
mance for use all year round, including
snowy and icy road conditions. All sea-
son tires are identified by ALL SEASON
and/or M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better snow
traction than all season tires an may be
more appropriate in some areas.I040C01JM-AATSummer Tires
Hyundai specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior performance
on dry roads. Summer tire performance
is substantrally reduced in snow and ice.
Summer tires do not have the tire trac-
tion rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on the
tire side wall. if you plan to operate your
vehicle in snowy or icy conditions.
Hyundai recommends the use of snow
tires or all season tires on all four wheels.
