What to do in an emergency6 5TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)(1) Low Tire Pressure Indicator
(2) Low Tire Pressure Position
Indicator
(3) TPMS Malfunction Indicator
Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehi-
cle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator and a low tire
pressure position indicator when one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure indicator and a low
tire pressure position indicator illumi-
nate, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
and position indicators.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is provided by a
separate indicator, which displays
the symbol "TPMS" when illuminat-
ed. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of
replacement or alternative tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
indicator after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
native tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.

What to do in an emergency
Low tire pressure
indicator
Low tire pressure
position indicatorWhen the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. And the
low tire pressure position indicator
light will indicate which tire is signifi-
cantly under-inflated by illuminating
the corresponding position light.
Immediately reduce your speed,
avoid hard cornering and anticipate
increased stopping distances. You
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. Inflate the tires to
the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation
pressure label located on the driver’s
side center pillar outer panel. If you
cannot reach a service station or if
the tire cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tire with
the compact spare tire.The Low Tire Pressure and Position
indicators will remain on when the
low pressure tire is in the vehicle
before you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
However, if the low pressure tire is
not in the vehicle, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position indicators will
go off and the TPMS malfunction
indicator will go on after a few min-
utes because the compact spare tire
is not equipped with a tire pressure
sensor.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure indicator may be
illuminated if the tire pressure
was adjusted to the recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure in warm
weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads
to a proportional lowering of tire
pressure.
When you drive your vehicle
from a warm area to a cold area
or from a cold area to a warm
area, or the outside temperature
significantly increases or
decreases, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure.

What to do in an emergency8 5TPMS (Tire pressure
monitoring system)
malfunction indicatorThe TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on and stays on when there is
a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If Front Left sen-
sor fails, the TPMS malfunction indica-
tor comes on, but if the Front Right,
Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is under-
inflated, the low tire pressure and posi-
tion indicators may come on together
with the TPMS malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible to determine the cause
of the problem.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power sup-
ply cables or radio transmitters
such as may be located at police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations, mili-
tary installations, airports, or
transmitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if some elec-
tronic devices, such as notebook
computers, are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).Changing a tire with TPMSIf you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position indicators will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired
by an authorized Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible or replace the flat
tire with the compact spare tire.
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the compact tire, the Low
Tire Pressure and Position indicators
will remain on when the low pressure
tire is in the vehicle. However, if the
low pressure tire is not in the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure and Position
indicators will go off and the TPMS
malfunction indicator will go on after
a few minutes because the compact
spare tire does not have a sensor.
Once the low pressure tire is re-
inflated to the recommended pres-
sure and installed on the vehicle, the
TPMS malfunction indicator and the
low tire pressure and position indica-
tors will extinguish within a few min-
utes.
If the indicators are not extinguished
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

WARNING
- Low tire
pressure
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tires will cause the tires to
overheat and fail.

What to do in an emergency10 5IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE The jack, jack handle, wheel lug nut

4. Turn the wrench counterclockwise
until the spare tire reaches the
ground. After the spare tire reach-
es the ground, continue to turn the
wrench counterclockwise, and
draw the spare tire outside. Never
rotate the wrench excessively, oth-
erwise the spare tire carrier may
be damaged.
5. Remove the retainer from the cen-
ter of the spare tire.
Storing the spare tire 1. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing down.
2. Place the wheel under the vehicle
and install the retainer through the
wheel center.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it
clicks.
WARNING
Ensure the spare tire retainer is
properly aligned with the center of
the spare tire to prevent the spare
tire “rattling”. Otherwise, it may
cause the spare tire to fall off the
carrier and lead to an accident.

What to do in an emergency12 5Important - use of compact
spare tireYour vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for
temporary use only.
The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).
✽ ✽
NOTICECheck the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
 Under no circumstances should
you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a
higher speed could damage the
tire.
 Ensure that you drive slowly
enough for the road conditions to
avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could
seriously damage the compact
spare.
 Any continuous road use of this tire
could result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and possible per-
sonal injury.
 Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-
mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tire.
 Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm), which could result in
damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
 You should drive carefully
when the compact spare is in
use. The compact spare
should be replaced by the
proper conventional tire and
rim at the first opportunity.
 The operation of this vehicle
is not recommended with
more than one compact spare
tire in use at the same time.
WARNING
This spare tire should be used
only for VERY short distances.
Compact spares should NEVER
be used for long drives or
extended distances.

What to do in an emergency
 Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash while the com-
pact spare tire is installed.
 Do not use tire chains on the com-
pact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
 The compact spare tire should not
be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
 Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
 The compact spare tire’s tread life
is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tires with the same size
and design, mounted on the same
wheel.
Changing tires Jacking instructions The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
To prevent the jack from “rattling”
while the vehicle is in motion, lower
the jack to the lowest position, place
the jack in the luggage side trim and
turn the wing bolt (1) clockwise firmly.
Make sure the jack is secured firmly
by trying to move the jack forward
and backward.Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.
WARNING
- Changing
tires
 Never attempt vehicle repairs
in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
 Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on level firm ground.
If you cannot find a firm, level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
 Be sure to use the correct
front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.
