Tire chains
OAC3079025TU
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tire chains on them.
Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of tire chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels; if
unavoidable use a wire type chain. If
tire chains must be used, use genu-
ine HYUNDAI parts and install the tire
chain after reviewing the instructions
provided with the tire chains. Damage
to your vehicle caused by improper
tire chain use is not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
NOTICE
If your vehicle has 185/55R15 or
195/45R16 size tires do not use tire
chain; they can damage your vehi-
cle (wheel, suspension and body).
WARNING
The use of tire chains may adverse-
ly affect vehicle handling:
• Drive less than 30 km/h (20 mph)
or the chain manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed limit, which-
ever is lower.
• Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other
road hazards, which may cause
the vehicle to bounce.
• Avoid sharp turns or locked
wheel braking.
i
Information
• Install tire chains on the front tires.
It should be noted that installing tire
chains on the tires will provide a
greater driving force, but will not
prevent side skids.
• Do not install studded tires without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
