OGDE064102
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.

Using the Tire Mobility Kit
1. Detach the speed restriction labelfrom the sealant bottle, and place
it in a highly visible place inside
the vehicle such as on the steer-
ing wheel to remind the driver not
to drive too fast. 2. Shake the sealant bottle (1). 3. Screw the filling hose (2) onto the
connector of the sealant bottle.
4. Ensure that the ON/OFF switch on the compressor is in the OFF posi-
tion.

What to do in an emergency
5. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the flat tire and screw the
filling hose (2) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve. 6. Insert the sealant bottle into the
housing (4) of the compressor so
that the bottle is upright.
7. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position "0".
Securely install the sealant fill-
ing hose to the valve. If not,
sealant may flow backward,
possibly clogging the filling
hose.

8. Plug the compressor power cord(3) into the vehicle power outlet.
9. With the vehicle ON ( indica- tor ON), switch on the compressor
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). The
inflation 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 tire
when filling it. 10. Switch off the compressor.
11. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tire valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
12. Immediately drive approximately 4~6miles (7~10km or about 10
minutes) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tire pressure is
below 29 psi (200 kpa). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.

What to do in an emergency
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pull
off 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. Checking the tire inflation pressure
1. After driving approximately 4~6miles (7~10km or about
10 minutes), stop at a safe location.
2. Connect the filling hose (2) of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire inflation.
With the vehicle ON ( indica- tor ON) proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor, posi-
tion to "I". To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pressure:
Press the button (8) on the com-
pressor.
Information
The pressure gauge may show higher
than actual reading when the com-
pressor is running. To get an accurate
tire pressure, the compressor needs to
be turned off.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tire and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 11~13
kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft).

When you use the Tire Mobility
Kit including sealant not
approved by HYUNDAI, the tire
pressure sensors may be dam-
aged by sealant. The sealant on
the tire pressure sensor and
wheel should be removed when
you replace the tire with a new
one and inspect the tire pres-
sure sensors at an authorized
dealer.

Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
or flatbed is recommended.It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the front wheels
off the ground. If any of the loaded
wheels or suspension components
are damaged or the vehicle is being
towed with the front wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.

Do not tow the vehicle with
the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
CAUTION

6-22
What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. While depressing the brake pedal shift to the N (Neutral) position
and turn the vehicle off. The
POWER button will be in the ACC
position.
2. Release the parking brake.
Failure to shift to N (Neutral) may
cause internal damage to the vehi-
cle.
Removable Towing Hook
1. Open the tailgate, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover pressingthe lower part of the cover on the
front or rear bumper.
3. Install the towing hook by turning it clockwise into the hole until it is
fully secured.
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.
NOTICE
If your vehicle is equipped with
a rollover sensor, place the
POWER button in the OFF or
ACC position when the vehicle
is being towed. The side impact
and curtain air bag may deploy
if the sensor detects the situa-
tion as a rollover.

Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position and
turn the vehicle off. The POWER
button will be in the ACC position.
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force. Use a towing cable or chain less
than 16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 12 inch
(30 cm) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
Before towing, check the reduction gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
