Hyundai Ioniq: Tires and wheels / Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare) should be checked when the tires are
cold. "Cold tires" means the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours
or has been driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pressures by 4 to 6 psi (28
to 41 kPa). Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the pressure or the tires
will be under-inflated. For recommended inflation pressure, refer to "Tire and Wheels"
in chapter 8.
WARNING
Recommended pressures must be maintained for the best ride, vehicle handling,
and minimum tire wear.
Over-inflation or under-inflation can reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure that could result in loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. Severe under-inflation can lead to severe heat build-up,
causing blowouts, tread separation and other tire failures that can result in the
loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. This risk is much higher on hot
days and when driving for long periods at high speeds.
CAUTION
- Under-inflation results in excessive wear, poor handling and reduced
fuel economy. Wheel deformation is also possible. Keep your tire pressures at
the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- Over-inflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of
the tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
For proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel economy, you must always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight
distribution recommended for your vehicle...
Check your tires, including the spare tire, once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tire pressure gauge to check tire pressure. You can not tell
if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them...
Other information:
This gauge indicates the remaining hybrid battery power. If the SOC is near the
"L (Low)" level, the vehicle automatically operates the engine to charge the battery.
However, if the Service Indicator ()
and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ()
turn on when the SOC gauge is near the "L (Low)" level, have the vehicle be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer...
Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the windshield wiper functionality. Common sources
of contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial
car washes...
