Hyundai i-30: Winter driving / Tyre chains

Since the sidewalls of radial tyres are
thinner than other types of tyres, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tyre chains on them.
Therefore, the use of snow tyres is
recommended instead of tyre chains.
Do not mount tyre chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminium wheels; if
unavoidable use a wire or fabric type
snow chain. If tyre chains must be
used, use genuine HYUNDAI parts
and install the tyre chain after
reviewing the instructions provided
with the tyre chains. Damage to your
vehicle caused by improper tyre
chain use is not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING
The use of tyre chains may
adversely affect vehicle handling:
- Drive less than 20 mph (30
km/h) 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.
Information
- Install tyre chains on the front tyres.
It should be noted that installing
tyre chains on the tyres will provide
a greater driving force, but will not
prevent side skids.
- Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
Chain Installation
When installing tyre chains, follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
mount them as tightly possible. Drive
slowly (less than 20 mph (30 km/h))
with chains installed. If you hear the
chains contacting the body or chassis,
stop and tighten them. If they still
make contact, slow down until the
noise stops. Remove the tyre chains
as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park
the vehicle on level ground away
from traffic. Turn on the vehicle
Hazard Warning Flasher and place a
triangular emergency warning device
behind the vehicle (if available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing snow
chains.
NOTICE
If your vehicle has 225/40ZR18
size tyres do not use tyre chain;
they can damage your vehicle
(wheel, suspension and body).
NOTICE
When using tyre chains:
- Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
- Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
- If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
- To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
- Do not use tyre chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminium
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
- Use wire chains less than 12 mm
(0.47 in) wide to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
WARNING
Snow tyres should be equivalent
in size and type to the vehicle's
standard tyres. Otherwise, the
safety and handling of your vehicle
may be adversely affected...
