A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
WARNING
• Underinflated or overinflated
tyres can cause poor han-
dling, loss of vehicle control,
and sudden tyre failure lead-
ing to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check the
tyres for proper inflation
before driving. For proper tyre
pressures, refer to section 8,
“Tyres and wheels”.
• Driving on tyres with no or
insufficient tread is danger-
ous. Worn-out tyres can
result in loss of vehicle con-
trol, collisions, injury, and
even death. Worn-out tyres
should be replaced as soon
as possible and should never
be used for driving. Always
check the tyre tread before
driving your vehicle. For fur-
ther information and tread
limits, refer to section 7,
“Tyres and wheels”.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) - TYPE A (IF EQUIPPED)
(1) Low tyre pressure telltale /
TPMS malfunction indicator
(2) Low tyre pressure position tell-
tale (Shown on the LCD display)Each tyre, 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 tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.
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 combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.

What to do in an emergency
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.
✽NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
1.The low tyre pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator do
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position or engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tyre pressure position
telltale remains illuminated.
Low tyre pressure telltale
Low tyre pressure position
telltaleWhen the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated, and warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tyre
pressure position telltale warning
message will indicate which tyre is
significantly under-inflated by illumi-
nating the corresponding position
light.
If either telltale or LCD warning mes-
sage displays immediately reduce
your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible.
Inflate the tyres to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tyre inflation pressure
label located on the driver’s side cen-
tre pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tyre cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tyre with a spare tyre.
After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, one of the
following will happen:

• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor not in the
vehicle)
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
will remain continuously illuminat-
ed whilst driving because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor in the vehi-
cle)CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tyre pressure telltale may be
illuminated if the tyre pressure
was adjusted to the recom-
mended tyre 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 tyre 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 tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to
the recommended tyre inflation
pressure.
WARNING -
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.

What to do in an emergency
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer to determine the cause of
the problem.
✽NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tyre pressure posi-
tion telltale will not be displayed
even though the vehicle has an
under-inflated tyre.
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. We recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tyres
serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 18 mph (25
km/h) after replaceing the low pres-
sure tyre with the spare tyre, one of
the following will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor not in the
vehicle)
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
will remain continuously illuminat-
ed whilst driving because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tyre
equipped with a sensor in the vehi-
cle)
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tyre pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elem-
inated when you replace the
tyre with a new one.

You may not be able identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure the tyre's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tyre that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tyre that is cold (from sitting station-
ary for at least 3 hours and driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) during that
3 hour period).
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
WARNING - Protecting
TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tyre pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.
WARNING- TPMS
• The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road
debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI if
your vehicle is equipped with a
Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System. The liquid sealant can
damage the tyre pressure sen-
sors.
WARNING - For EUROPE
• Do not modify the vehicle, it
may interfere with the TPMS
function.
• The wheels on the market do
not have a TPMS sensor.
For your safety, we recom-
mend that you use parts for
replacement from an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If you use the wheels on the
market, use a TPMS sensor
approved by a HYUNDAI deal-
er. If your vehicle is not
equipped with a TPMS sensor
or TPMS does not work prop-
erly, you may fail the periodic
vehicle inspection conducted
in your country.
❈All vehicles sold in the
EUROPE market during below
period must be equipped with
TPMS.
