VSM detects the distance from the vehi-
cle ahead with the sensor, to warn you
before collision and protect you in certain
hazardous situations.• If the VSM senses the object ahead too
near the vehicle and if driver's operat-
ing of the brake pedal or the steering
wheel should be needed, the warning
light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
• If the VSM senses more dangerous,
the warning sound also operates and
the accelerator pedal/seat belt
vibrates. Immediately reduce your
speed.
VEHICLE STABILITY MANAGEMENT (VSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Always check the road conditions
to prevent danger even if the warn-
ing light does not illuminate, the
warning sound does not operate or
the accelerator pedal/seat belt does
not vibrate.

Malfunction indicator
• The VSM OFF indicator will illuminate
when the engine start/stop button is
turned ON, but should go off after
approximately 3 seconds. If the indica-
tor does not come on, or continuously
remains on after coming on for about 3
seconds when you turn the engine
start/stop button to the ON position, or
if the indicator comes on while driving,
the VSM is not working properly. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
checked.
• The VSM OFF indicator may illuminate
when the ESP indicator or SCC indica-
tor comes on, but it does not indicate
malfunction of the VSM.
OVI059067
WARNING
The VSM is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is the respon-
sibility of the driver to always check
the speed and the distance to the
vehicle ahead.
WARNING
• Even if there is a malfunction to
the brake operating of the VSM,
when you depress the brake
pedal, the brake is operating nor-
mally. But, the VSM brake operat-
ing does not operate even in cer-
tain hazardous situations.
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 15 km/h (9.3
mph) and below approximately
180 km/h (111.8 mph).
• The VSM does not react to
- Persons or animals.
- Oncoming vehicles in the oppo-
site lane or the vehicle in the
intersection.
- Stopped objects.
• The VSM can not detect the
objects certainly, when:
- The sensors are stained with
dirt or covered.
- There is heavy rain or heavy
snow.
- There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves.

Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
✽NOTICE
If the TPMS, Low Tire Pressure tell-
tale do not illuminate for 3 seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position or engine is run-
ning, or if they remain illuminated
after coming on for approximately 3
seconds, take your car to your near-
est authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked.
Low tire pressure tell-
tale
Low tire pressure posi-
tion telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. The low
tire pressure position telltale (supple-
mental) will indicate which tire is sig-
nificantly under-inflated by illuminat-
ing the corresponding position on the
LCD screen (if equipped).
If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver’s side cen-
ter 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
spare tire.The Low Tire Pressure and Position
telltale will remain on until you have
the low pressure tire repaired and
replaced on the vehicle.
✽NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure sensor.
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
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on and stays on when there is
a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The system is
able to correctly detect an under-
inflation warning at the same time as
system failure then it will illuminate
both the TPMS malfunction and the
low tire pressure telltale. If the Front
Left sensor fails, the TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator illuminates, but if the
Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right
tire is under-inflated, the low tire
pressure and position telltales may
illuminate 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.
WARNING - Low pressure
damage
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 can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.TPMSCAUTION
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if the
vehicle is moving around elec-
tric power supply cables or
radios transmitter such as at
police stations, government
and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting
towers, etc. This can interfere
with normal operation of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
• The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may be illuminated if snow
chains are used or some sep-
arate electronic devices such
as notebook computer, mobile
charger, remote starter or nav-
igation etc., are used in the
vehicle. This can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.
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 possi-
ble.The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
When the low pressure tire is
replaced with the spare tire, the low
tire pressure and the low tire pres-
sure position telltales may extinguish
and the TPMS malfunction indicator
may illuminate after restarting and
within 20 minutes continuous driving.
The TPMS malfunction indicator may
remain on until the original tire
equipped with a tire monitoring sen-
sor is reinflated to the recommended
pressure and reinstalled on the vehi-
cle then driving for a few minutes.
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 tell-
tales will extinguish within a few min-
utes of driving.
If the indicators are not extinguished
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
NEVER use a puncture-repair-
ing agent to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tire. The tire
sealant can damage the tire
pressure sensor. If used, you
will have to replace the tire pres-
sure sensor.
(Continued)
• If there is a failed tire sensor, it
is possible for TPMS to tem-
porarily learn a replacement
sensor when you drive closely
to another vehicle equipped
with TPMS too. In rare cases,
this may temporarily delay the
TPMS malfunction turning on.

Maintenance
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the
element more often than the usual
recommended intervals. (Refer to
“Maintenance under severe usage condi-
tions” in this section.)
CAUTION
• Do not drive with the air cleaner
removed; this will result in exces-
sive engine wear.
• When removing the air cleaner fil-
ter, be careful that dust or dirt
does not enter the air intake, or
damage may result.
• Use a HYUNDAI genuine part. Use
of non-genuine parts could dam-
age the air flow sensor.
• When you clean the filter, use the
compressed air and blow the air
from the clean side to the dirty
side.
