ROAD WARNING
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the vehi-
cle is stopped near the edge of a road-
way.
Depress the flasher switch with the
engine start/stop button in any position.
The flasher switch is located in the cen-
ter console switch panel. All turn signal
lights will flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
Care must be taken when using the
hazard warning flasher while the vehi-
cle is being towed.
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the vehi-
cle to a safe place.
If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
and let the car slow down while driving
straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes
immediately or attempt to pull off the
road as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the car has slowed to such
a speed that it is safe to do so, brake
carefully and pull off the road. Drive off
the road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a divid-
ed highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.

What to do in an emergency
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the TPMS indicator does not illu-
minate for 3 seconds when the
engine start/stop button is turned to
the ON position or engine is run-
ning, or If it comes on after blinking
for approximately one minute, take
your car to your nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
Low tire pressure tell-
tale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicator is illuminat-
ed, one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center pil-
lar 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 spare tire.
Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated after restarting and about
20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tire pressure telltale may be
illuminated if the tire pressure
was adjusted to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunction-
ing because the decreased tem-
perature 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
is greatly higher or lower, you
should check the tire inflation
pressure and adjust the tires to
the recommended tire inflation
pressure.

What to do in an emergency
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIREMOBILITYKIT, IF EQUIPPED)
Please read the instructions before
using the TireMobilityKit.
(1) TireMobilityKit bag
(2) Compressor
(3) Sealant bottleIntroduction
With the TireMobilityKit you stay mobile
even after experiencing a tire puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tire caused by nails or
similar objects and reinflates the tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tire (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or
tire dealer to have the tire replaced.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TireMobilityKit is not designed or
intended as a permanent tire repair
method and is to be used for one tire
only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the TireMobilityKit".
OEL069019
WARNING
Do not use the TireMobilityKit if
a tire is severely damaged by
driving run flat or with insuffi-
cient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tire can be sealed using the
TireMobilityKit.
Damage to the sidewall must
not be repaired due to safety
reasons.
OYFH061021N
WARNING
For safe operation, carefully
read and follow the instructions
in this manual before use.

Notes on the safe use of the Tire
Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
Tire Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic. Place your warning triangle
in a prominent place to make pass-
ing vehicles aware of your location.
To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for
sealing/inflation passenger car
tires. Do not use on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tires.
Do not remove any foreign objects
such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
Before using the Tire Mobility Kit,
read the precautionary advice
printed on the sealant bottle! Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit
unattended while it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor run-
ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the
ambient temperature is below -22°F
(-30°C).
Do not use the sealing compound
after its expiration date which can
be found on the label of the bottle.
Keep away from children.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon
as possible. The tire may loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the TMK.
CAUTION
The Tire Mobility Kit is a tempo-
rary fix to the tire and the tire
should be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
When using Tire Mobility Kit, the
tire sealant can damage the tire
pressure sensor. After using the
Tire Mobility Kit, have the tire
pressure sensor checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
If a foreign object is seen that has
punctured the tire, do not remove it
before using Tire Mobility Kit.
6. Ensure that the compressor is
switched off, position 0.
7. Connect between compressor and
the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors.
8. With the engine start/stop button
positioned on:
Switch on the compressor and let it
run for approximately 3 minutes to fill
the sealant. The inflation pressure of
the tire after filling is unimportant.9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the TireMobilityKit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation is possible if the
engine is left running in a poorly
ventilated or unventilated loca-
tion (such as inside a building).
OEL069019
CAUTION
Strictly follow the specified
sequence, otherwise the sealant
may escape under high pres-
sure.

What to do in an emergency
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately
3 km (2 miles) to evenly distribute
the sealant in the tire.Producing the tire inflation pres-
sure
12. After driving approximately 3 km
(2 miles), stop at a suitable loca-
tion.
13. Connect connection hose 9 of
the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
14. Connect between compressor
and the vehicle power outlet
using the cable and connectors.
15. Adjust the tire inflation pressure
to 230 kPa (33 psi). With the
engine start/stop button posi-
tioned on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres-
sure:Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.✽ ✽
NOTICE
The pressure gauge may show high-
er than actual reading when the
compressor is running. To get an
accurate tire reading, the compres-
sor needs to be turned off.
- To reduce the inflation pres-
sure:Press the button 8 on the
compressor.
16. Remove the speed restriction
label(0) from the sealant bottle(1)
and place it in a highly visible
place in the vehicle such as on
the steering wheel to remind you
not to drive too fast.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 60
km/h (35 mph). If possible, do
not fall below a speed of 20
km/h (12 mph).
While driving, if you experience
any unusual vibration, ride dis-
turbance or noise, reduce your
speed and drive with caution
until you can safely pull off of
the side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-
ing.
CAUTION
Be careful not to overinflate the
tire and stay away from the tire
when filling it.
