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, we recommend that you use
genuine HYUNDAI Parts or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle 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.
When using tire chains, attach them to
the drive wheels as follows.
2WD : Front wheels
4WD : All four wheels
The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
Drive less than 30 km/h (20 mph)
ONX4E060020
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.
ONX4E060023
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
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
If a full set of chains is not
available for an 4WD vehicle,
chains may be installed on the
front wheels only.
