What to do in an emergency
Low tire pressure telltale /
TPMS malfunction indicator
Each tire, including the spare (if pro
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehi
cle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the prop
er pressure. Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel effi
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
underinflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illumi
nated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle startups as
long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminat
ed, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, includ
ing the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehi
cle that prevent the TPMS from func
tioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.

Information
If the TPMS indicator does not illumi
nate for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position or
engine is running, or if it comes on
after blinking for approximately one
minute, we recommend that you con
tact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.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 underinflated.
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 drivingbefore you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
i
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi
nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weath
er. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pres
sure.
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 recommend
ed tire inflation pressure.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. We recom
mend that the flat tire be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.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 have your tires
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale will blink or remain
on until the low pressure tire is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi
nate after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflat
ed to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or we
recommend that the TPMS sensor
mounted on the replaced spare
wheel be initiated by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer, the TPMS mal
function indicator and the low tire
pressure telltale will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving. If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, We
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
We recommend that you use a
puncturerepairing agent
approved by HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elemi
nated when you replace the tire
with a new one.
CAUTION
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sen
sor on the replaced spare wheel
should be initiated and we recom
mend that the TPMS sensor on
the original mounted wheel be
deactivated by a HYUNDAI deal
er. If the TPMS sensor on the orig
inal mounted wheel located in the
spare tire carrier still activates, the
tire pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. We rec
ommend that the system be serv
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
Removing and storing the spare
tire
Turn the winged hold down bolt coun
terclockwise to remove the spare tire.
Store the spare tire in the same com
partment by turning the winged hold
down bolt clockwise.
To prevent the spare tire and tools
from “rattling,” store them in their prop

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE
Changing a tire can be dangerous.
Follow the instructions in this sec
tion when changing a tire to
reduce the risk of serious injury or
death.

Changing tires Follow these steps to change your
vehicle’s tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park,for automatic transaxle vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transaxle
vehicle), apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire
from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the tire diagonally opposite of the tire
you are changing.
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety precau
tions:
•Do not get under a vehicle that
is supported by a jack.
•NEVER attempt to change a tire
in the lane of traffic. ALWAYS
move the vehicle completely off
the road on level, firm ground
away from traffic before trying to
change a tire. If you cannot find
a level, firm place off the road,
call a towing service for assis
tance.
•Be sure to use the jack provided
with the vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions on
the vehicle and NEVER on the
bumpers or any other part of the
vehicle for jacking support.
•Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the jack.
•Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
•Keep children away from the
road and the vehicle.

8. Insert the jack handle into the jackand turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire clears the
ground. Make sure the vehicle is
stable on the jack. 9. Loosen the lug nuts with the wheel
lug nut wrench and remove them
with your fingers. Remove the
wheel from the studs and lay it flat
on the ground out of the way.
Remove any dirt or debris from
the studs, mounting surfaces, and
wheel.
10. Install the spare tire onto the studs of the hub.
11. Tighten the lug nuts with your fin gers onto the studs with the
smaller end of the lug nuts clos
est to the wheel.
12. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle coun
terclockwise. 13. Use the wheel lug nut wrench to
tighten the lug nuts in the order
shown. Doublecheck each lug
nut until they are tight. After
changing tires, we recommend
that an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer tighten the lug nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possi
ble.
The wheel lug nut should be
tightened to 9~11 kg.m (65~79
lb.ft).
