Tire chains (Wire chains)
ONE1061022K
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. If tire chains must
be used, use genuine 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.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING
The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
ś
Drive less than 30 km/h (20 mph)
or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
ś
Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.
ś
Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
Information
ś
Install tire chains only in pairs and on
the rear tires. It should be noted that
installing tire chains on the tires will
provide a greater driving force, but will
not prevent side skids.
ś
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
