Maintenance
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (i.e., every Spring and Fall)
• Check radiator, heater and air condi-
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
• Check windscreen washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
• Check headlamp alignment.
• Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
• Check the seat belts for wear and function.
At least once a year:
• Clean body and door drain holes.
• Lubricate door hinges and bonnethinges.
• Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
• Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls.
• Clean the battery and terminals.
• Check the brake fluid level.

Maintenance
Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom-
mended that the tyres be rotated
every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tyre pres-
sure, improper wheel alignment, out-
of-balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tyre.
Replace the tyre if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tyre if
fabric or cord is visible. After rotation,
be sure to bring the front and rear tyre
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness.
Refer to “Tyre and wheels” in
chapter 8.
Disc brake pads should be inspectedfor wear whenever tyres are rotated.
Information
The outside and inside of the unsym-
metrical tyre is distinguishable. When
installing an unsymmetrical tyre, be
sure to install the side marked "out-
side" face the outside. If the side
marked "inside" is installed on the
outside, it will have a bad effect on
vehicle performance.
i
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
•Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tyres under any circum-
stances. This may cause unusu-
al handling characteristics that
could result in death, severe
injury, or property damage.

Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tyre bal-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's aluminium
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.
Tyre replacement
If the tyre 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 tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.
NOTICE
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicatorWhen replacing the tyres,
recheck and tighten the wheel
nuts after driving about 620
miles (1,000 km). If the steering
wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates whilst driving, the tyre
is out of balance. Align the tyre
balance. If the problem is not
solved, we recommend that you
contact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

Maintenance
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tyre maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tyre wear. If you find a tyre is worn
unevenly, have your repairer check
the wheel alignment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tyre life. Additionally, a tyre should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tyre sidewall labelling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tyre and also provides
the tyre identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tyre in
case of a recall.
