Maintenance
Tire care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
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).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
For recommended inflation pressure,
refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter 2.

All specifications (sizes and pressures)
can be found on a label attached to the
driver’s side center pillar.
WARNING
Tire underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa (10 psi) or
more) can lead to severe heat build-up,
causing blowouts, tread separation and
other tire failures that can result in the
loss of vehicle control leading to severe
injury or death. 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.
NOTICE
• 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
underinflated.
• Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation
valve caps. 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.
