What to do in an emergency

✽
✽NOTICE
The low tire pressure telltale comes
on for 3 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position.
If the warning lights do not come on,
or continuously remains on after
coming on for about 3 seconds when
you turned the ignition switch to the
ON position, the Tire pressure
System may not be working proper-
ly. To confirm this, first check and
adjust the tire pressure of each
wheel. If the low tire pressure tell-
tale light goes off, the system is
working properly. If the low tire
pressure telltale light still stays ON,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System is not working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealers as soon as possi-
ble.

Low tire pressure tell-
tale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
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.
Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
may turn on and the Low Tire
Pressure telltale still turn on after
restarting and about 20 minutes of
continuous driving before you have
the low pressure tire repaired and
replaced on the vehicle.✽ ✽ NOTICE
The compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure sensor.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tire pressure telltale may beilluminated if the tire pressurewas adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressurein warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunction-ing because the decreased tem-perature leads to a proportionallowering of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehiclefrom a warm area to a cold areaor from a cold area to a warmarea, or the outside temperatureis greatly higher or lower, youshould check the tire inflationpressure and adjust the tires tothe recommended tire inflationpressure.
