Emergency Precautions

Tires
Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to
equip all four tires with the tire and wheel
of the same size, type, tread, brand and

load-carrying capacity. If you equip your
vehicle with any tire/wheel combination
not recommended by HYUNDAI for off-
road driving, you should not use these
tires for highway driving.
Never start or run the engine while a
full-time AWD vehicle is raised on a
jack. The vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or death to
you or those nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with
a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off
the ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" in chapter 8.
Dynamometer testing
A full-time AWD vehicle must be
tested on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
