Tire Care; Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressures - Hyundai KONA N 2022 Owner's Manual

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.
All specifications (sizes and pressures)
can be found on a label attached to the
driver's side center pillar.
Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures 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 mile (1.6km).
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended cold tire pressures by 4
to 6 psi (28 to 41 kPa). Do not release air
from warm tires to adjust the pressure
or the tires will be under-inflated. For
recommended inflation pressure, refer to
"Tire and Wheels" section in chapter 2.
WARNING
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, vehicle
handling, and minimum tire wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure
that could result in loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Severe under-inflation can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing blowouts,
tread separation and other tire failures
that can result in the loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident. This
risk is much higher on hot days and
when driving for long periods at high
speeds.
OOSN011021N
CAUTION
Under-inflation results in excessive
wear, poor handling and reduced
fuel economy. Wheel deformation
is also possible. Keep your tire
pressures at the proper levels. If a
tire frequently needs refilling, we
recommend it be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Over-inflation produces a harsh ride,
excessive wear at the center of the
tire tread, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
