Maintenance
• Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation also is pos-
sible. Keep your tire pressures
at the proper levels. If a tire fre-
quently needs refilling, we rec-
ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the cen-
ter of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
• Warm tires normally exceed rec-
ommended 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 infla-
tion 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.
- Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
• Check tire pressure when the
tires are cold. (After vehicle has
been parked for at least three
hours or hasn't been driven
more than 1.6 km (one mile)
since startup.)
• Check the pressure of your
spare tire each time you check
the pressure of other tires.
• Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
• Worn, old tires can cause acci-
dents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been
damaged, replace them.

Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and potential injury.
