TIRE ROTATION

Spare tire
HA1409
Tires should be rotated every 10,000
km (6,000 miles). If you notice that
tires are wearing unevenly between
rotations, have the car checked by a
Hyundai dealer so the cause may be
corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pres-
sures and be sure to check wheel nut
torque.
!
WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-
ply tires under any circum-
stances. This may cause dan-
gerous handling characteristics.

TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affect
handling and tire wear. The tires on
your Hyundai were balanced before
the car was delivered but may need
balancing again during the years you
own the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for
repair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car.

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery road
surfaces. Tires should be replaced
when tread wear indicators appear.
To reduce the possibility of losing
control, slow down whenever there is
rain, snow or ice on the road.
