Power Hop
When fully accelerating the vehicle
from standstill, a front tire oscillation
called “Power Hop“ of Veloster N may
occur due to the high torque of engine
and the characteristics of high per-
formance tire. This may be affected by
road condition and temperatures.
Additionally it is a normal phenome
non in powerful front-wheel drive
vehicles. Veloster N will act on this
phenomenon with the traction control
in all ESC modes with the main focus
on high performance character.

•
Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tires can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, or
traction.
•
ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size as each tire that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tires and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle's Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
Tire failure may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident. To reduce risk of
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH,
take the following precautions:
•
Inspect your tires monthly for
proper inflation as well as
wear and damage.
•
The recommended cold tire
pressure for your vehicle can
be found in this manual and
on the tire label located on the
driver's side center pillar.
Always use a tire pressure
gauge to measure tire pres-
sure. Tires with too much or
too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor han-
dling.
•
Check the pressure of the
spare every time you check
the pressure of the other tires
on your vehicle.
