Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags. A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver or the front passen-
ger forward motion, reducing the risk
of head and chest injury.After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating,
enabling the driver to maintain for-
ward visibility and the ability to steer
or operate other controls.

■Passenger’s front air bag To prevent objects from becom-
ing dangerous projectiles when
the passenger's air bag inflates:
Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD
holder, stickers, etc.) on the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box where the pas-
senger's air bag is located.
Do not install a container of liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.
WARNING
5-138
Driving your vehicle
Turn on your headlamps to make iteasier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas- es as the depth of tire tread
decreases, refer to "Tire
Replacement" in chapter 7.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is nohigher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may bereduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
adversely affect vehicle handling.
This could lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle con-trol resulting in an accident.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.

The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire only. This instruction shows
you step by step how to temporarily
seal the puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tire Mobility Kit".Notes on the safe use of theTire Mobility Kit
Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the
Tire Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car tires.Only punctured areas located with-in the tread region of the tire can besealed using the tire mobility kit.
Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tires.
When the tire and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit
for your safety.
Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not be effective for tire damage larger
than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).
If the tire cannot be made roadwor-
thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a tire
is severely damaged by driving run
flat or with insufficient air pressure.
Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire.
Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit unattended while it is being used.
Do not leave the compressor run- ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).
In case of skin contact with the sealant, wash the area thoroughly
with plenty of water. If the irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
In case of eye contact with the sealant, flush your eyes for at least
15 minutes. If the irritation persists,seek medical attention.
Do not use the TMK if a tire is
severely damaged by drivingrun flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the tread region of thetire can be sealed using theTMK.
WARNING
6-18
What to do in an emergency
In case of swallowing the sealant,rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give anythingto an unconscious person and seek
medical attention immediately.
Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.

4. Unscrew the valve cap from thevalve of the detective wheel and
screw the filling hose (3) of the
sealant bottle onto the valve. Securely install the sealant filling
hose to the valve. If not, sealant
may flow backward, possibly clog-
ging the filling hose.
5. Plug the compressor power cord
(4) into the vehicle power outlet.
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
6. With the ignition switch in the ON position, switch on the compres-
sor and let it run for approximately
5~7 minutes to fill the sealant up
to proper pressure. (refer to the
Tire and Wheels, chapter 8). Theinflation pressure of the tire after
filling is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tire and stay away from the tirewhen filling it.

What to do in an emergency
Checking the tire inflation pres-sure
1. After driving approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location.
2. Connect the filling hose (3) direct- ly into the compressor. 3. Connect the other end of the filling
hose (3) directly into the valve.
4. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
5. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recomended tire inflation.
With the ignition swithched on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres-sure : Switch on the compres-
sor. To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch
off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres-sure: Press the button (9) on the
compressor. Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher
than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire reading, the compressor needs to
be turned off.
i
NOTICE
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a
second time, refer to
Distributing the sealant. Thenrepeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffec-
tual for tire damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAIdealer if the tire cannot be made
roadworthy with the TireMobility Kit.

Components of the Tire Mobility Kit
Do not use the tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e.
pasted the expiration date on
the sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tire failure.
WARNING
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.

Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
10. Immediately drive approximately 7~10 km (4~6 miles or about 10
minutes) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 20 km/h 12 mph).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pulloff of the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tire Mobility Kit, the tire pressure sensors and wheel
may be damaged by sealant, have it
inspected at an authorized dealer.
What to do in an emergency
OAD048595 Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 29 psi (200 kpa). Thiscould result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
CAUTION
Do not leave your vehicle run-
ning in a poorly ventilated area
for extended periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation can occur.
