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.
Have the system checked by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the Low Tyre Pressure
Position Telltale will not be dis-
played even though the vehicle
has an under-inflated tyre.
NOTICE
6
In winter or cold weather, the
Low Tyre Pressure Telltale may
be illuminated if the tyre pres-
sure was adjusted to the recom-
mended tyre inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunc-
tioning. The decreased tempera-
ture leads to a proportional low-
ering 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.
CAUTION
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.

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may illuminate after blinking for
one minute if the vehicle is near
electric power supply cables or
radio transmitters such as police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports,
transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may illuminate if snow
chains are used or electronic
devices such as computers, charg-
ers, remote starters, navigation,
etc. are used in the vehicle.
This may interfere with normal
operation of the TPMS.
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. Have the flat tyre repaired
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible or replace the
flat tyre with the spare tyre.
The spare tyre (if equipped) does not
come with a tyre pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tyre
or the flat tyre is replaced with the
spare tyre, the Low Tyre Pressure
Te l l t a l e w i l l r e m a i n o n . A l s o , t h e T P M S
Malfunction Indicator will illuminate
after blinking for one minute if the vehi-
cle is driven at speed above 25 km/h
for approximately 20 minutes.
Once the original tyre equipped with
a tyre pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tyre Pressure Telltale and
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will go
off within a few minutes of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem (except
for the spare tyre). You must use
TPMS specific wheels. It is recom-
mended that you always have your
tyres serviced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tyre
pressure gauge to measure. Please
note that a tyre that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-
sure measurement than a tyre that is
cold.
NOTICE
What to do in an emergency
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer to repair and/or
inflate a low pressure tyre. Tyre
sealant not approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer may damage
the tyre pressure sensor.
CAUTION

6-15
What to do in an emergency
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1.6 km in that 3 hour peri-
od.
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.

•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 with light
force, and slowly move to a
safe position off the road.

The jack is provided for emergency
tyre changing only.

Changing a tyre can be danger-
ous. Follow the instructions in
this section when changing a
tyre to reduce the risk of seri-
ous injury or death.
WA R N I N G
Be careful as you use the jack
handle to stay clear of the flat
end. The flat end has sharp
edges that could cause cuts.

If it is hard to loosen the tyre hold-
down wing bolt by hand, you can
loosen it easily using the jack handle.
1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of
the tyre hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
anticlockwise with the jack handle.

•Never attempt vehicle repairs
in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
•Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tyre. The jack should
be used on firm level ground.
If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
•Be sure to use the correct
front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking
support.
•The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack causing serious
injury or death.

•Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
•No person should place any
portion of their body under a
vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
•Chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tyre.
•Do not start or run the engine
whilst the vehicle is on the
jack.
•Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle whilst it is on
the jack.
•Make sure any children pres-
ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.

What to do in an emergency
Follow these steps to change your
vehicle's tyre:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park,
for automatic transmission vehi-
cle) or neutral (for manual trans-
mission vehicle), apply the park-
ing brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher
button.
4. Remove the wheel nut wrench,
jack, jack handle, and spare tyre
from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the
tyre diagonally opposite of the tyre
you are changing.
6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts anti-
clockwise one turn each in the
order shown above, but do not
remove any lug nuts until the tyre
has been raised off of the ground.

7. Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tyre you are chang-
ing. The jacking positions are
plates welded to the frame with
two notches and two dimples.
Never jack any other position or
part of the vehicle. It may damage
the side seal molding.
8. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tyre clears the
ground. Make sure the vehicle is
stable on the jack.
9. Loosen the lug nuts with the wheel
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 tyre 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 anti-
clockwise.

13. Use the wheel nut wrench to
tighten the lug nuts in the order
shown. Double-check each lug
nut until they are tight. After
changing tyres, we recommend
that an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer tighten the lug nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possi-
ble.The wheel lug nut should
be tightened to 11~13 kgf·m
(79~94 lbf·ft).
If you have a tyre gauge, check the
tyre pressure (see "Tyres and
Wheels" in chapter 8 for tyre pres-
sure instructions.). If the pressure is
lower or higher than recommended,
drive slowly to the nearest service
station and adjust it to the recom-
mended pressure. Always reinstall
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tyre pressure. If the cap is
not replaced, air may leak from the
tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as pos-
sible. After changing tyres, secure
the flat tyre and return the jack and
tools to their proper storage loca-
tions.
Check the tyre pressure as soon
as possible after installing a spare
tyre. Adjust it to the recommend-
ed pressure.
If any of the equipment such as the
jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip-
ment is damaged or in poor condi-
tion, do not attempt to change the
tyre and call for assistance.

on the studs and lug nuts. Make
certain during tyre changing
that the same nuts that were
removed are reinstalled. If you
have to replace your lug nuts
make sure they have metric
threads to avoid damaging the
studs and ensure the wheel is
properly secured to the hub. We
recommend that you consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
