Driving Your Vehicle
Tire chains
„ Type A
„
„ Type B
„
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 if
available 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.
Fabric-type chains must be used on
vehicles equipped with 19"/20" tires.
When using tire chains, attach them to
the drive wheels as follows.
AWD : All Wheel Drive
If a full set of chains is not available for
an AWD vehicle, chains may be installed
on the front wheels only.

WARNING
The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
• Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer's
recommended speed limit,
whichever 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.
Information
• Install tire chains only in pairs and 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
OTM080043L
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
