TIRES AND WHEELS

WARNING
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 pressure. Tires with
too much or too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor handling.
Check the pressure of the spare
every time you check the pressure of
the other tires on your vehicle.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, or
traction.
ALWAYS replace tires with the
same size, type, construction and
tread pattern as each tire that was
originally supplied with this vehicle.
Using tires and wheels other than
the recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle's Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.

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