FOR MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR HYUNDAIG250A01A-AATIf you desire additional information about
maintaining and servicing your Hyundai,
you may purchase a factory Shop Manual
at your Hyundai dealer's parts department.
This is the same manual used by
dealership technicians and while it is highly
technical it can be useful in obtaining a
better understanding of your car and how
it works.
HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUST-
MENTG290A03O-AATBefore performing aiming adjustment,
make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and
press the front bumper & rear bumper
down several times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in.
(3m) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except
for full levels of coolant, engine oil and
fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools).
Have the driver or equivalent weight
placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the headlight lenses and turn on
the headlights (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.

!
6. Draw a vertical line (through the center
of each headlight beam pattern) and a
horizontal line (through the center of
each headlight beam pattern) on the
aiming screen measured from ground
to center mark on headlight lens.
7. Adjust the right side of each cut-off line
of the low beam to the horizontal line
with a phillips screwdriver - VERTICAL
AIMING.
WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the horizontal
alignment of your headlights. Horizontal
aiming must be adjusted by an
authorized Hyundai dealer to avoid
incorrect alignment that will reduce the
effectiveness of your headlights.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT
BULBSG260A02L-GATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach
the light bulbs so they may be changed. Be
sure to replace the burned-out bulb with
one of the same number and wattage
rating.
See page 6-35 for the wattage descrip-
tions.
!
CAUTION:
o Keep the lights out of contact with
petroleum products, such as oil,
gasoline, etc.
o Be sure to replace the LED type
equipped bulbs with an assembly.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle
during the rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the water
leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have
the vehicle checked by an Authorized
Hyundai Dealer.

If the vehicle has had front body repair and
the headlight assembly has been replaced,
the headlight aiming should be checked
using the aiming screen as shown in the
illustration. Turn on the headlight switch
(Low Beam Position).
1. Adjust headlights vertically so that cutoff
line is aligned with horizontal line shown
in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show the
center of the headlights.

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
(UTQG):
Tire manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three perfor-
mance factors: treadwear, traction
and temperature resistance. For more
information, see Uniform Tire Qual-
ity Grading on page 8-14.
I030D01JM-AATTIRE TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINI-
TIONS
Air Pressure: The amount of air inside
the tire pressing outward on the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in pounds per
square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight: This means the
combined weight of optional accesso-
ries. Some examples of optional ac-
cessories are, automatic transmission,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio: The relationship of a
tire's height to its width.
Belt: A rubber coated layer of cords that
is located between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from steel or
other reinforcing materials.
Bead: The tire bead contains steel
wires wrapped by steel cords that hold
the tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire: A pneumatic tire in which
the plies are laid at alternate angles
less than 90 degrees to the centerline of
the tread.Cold Tire Pressure: The amount of air
pressure in a tire, measured in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascals
(kPa) before a tire has built up heat from
driving.
Curb Weight: This means the weight of
a motor vehicle with standard and op-
tional equipment including the maxi-
mum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant,
but without passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings: A code molded into the
sidewall of a tire signifying that the tire
is in compliance with the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation motor vehicle
safety standards. The DOT code in-
cludes the Tire Identification Number
(TIN), an alphanumeric designator which
can also identify the tire manufacturer,
production plant, brand and date of
production.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the front Axle.
GAWR RR: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the rear axle.
