Maintenance
Recommended cold tire
inflation pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tires are
cold. “Cold tires” means the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours
or driven less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures by 28
to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do not release air
from warm tires to adjust the pressure
or the tires will be under-inflated. For
recommended inflation pressure, refer
to “Tire and Wheels” in chapter 2.
WARNING
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tire failure that could result in loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Severe under-inflation can lead
to severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and other
tire failures that can result in the loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
This risk is much higher on hot days and
when driving for long periods at high
speeds.
NOTICE
• Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy. Wheel
deformation also is possible. Keep
your tire pressures at the proper
levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Overinflation produces a harsh ride,
excessive wear at the center of the
tire tread, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Check tire inflation pressure
Check your tires, including the spare tire,
once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tire pressure gauge
to check tire pressure. You cannot tell
if your tires are properly inflated simply
by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated when they are under-
inflated.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge
firmly onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tire inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the tire and loading
information label, no further adjustment
is necessary. If the pressure is low, add
air until you reach the recommended
pressure. Make sure to put the valve
caps back on the valve stems. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause air
leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install
a new one as soon as possible.
