What to do in an emergency
If any of the below happens, we
recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
1. The low tyre pressure telltale/ TPMS malfunction indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or
the engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tyre pressure position telltale remains illuminated.

When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and a 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 will indicate
which tyre is significantly under-
inflated by illuminating the corre-
sponding position light. If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with a
spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 15.5 mph
(25 km/h) after replacing the low
pressure tyre with the spare tyre, the
below will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.

What to do in an emergency
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 15.5 mph
(25 km/h) after replacing the low
pressure tyre with the spare tyre, the
below will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.
You may not be able identify a tyre
with low pressure 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 stationary for at least 3
hour 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.
•The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain contin-
uously illuminated if the vehicle
is moving around electric power
supply cables or radios trans-
mitter such as at police stations,
government and public offices,
broadcasting stations, military
installations, airports, or trans-
mitting towers, etc. This can
interfere with normal operation
of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS).
•The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor may blink for approximately
1 minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated if snow
chains are used or some sepa-
rate electronic devices such as
notebook computer, mobile
charger, remote starter or nav-
igation etc., are used in the
vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
CAUTION
NEVER use a puncture-repair-
ing agent to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tyre. The tyre
sealant can damage the tyre
pressure sensor. If used, you
will have to replace the tyre
pressure sensor.
CAUTION

•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external factors
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.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may interfere with the
system's ability to warn the driv-
er of low tyre pressure condi-
tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.
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 a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
•If you use the wheels on the
market, use a TPMS sensor
approved by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a
TPMS sensor or TPMS does
not work properly, 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.

What to do in an emergency
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, put the
flat tyre in its place and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.
• Check the tyre pressure as soon as possible after installing a
spare tyre. Adjust it to the rec-
ommended pressure.
• Check and tighten the wheel lug nuts after driving over 30 mph
(50 km) if tyres are replaced. Re-
check the tyre wheel lug nuts
after driving over 620 mph (1,000
km). 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.
Use of compact spare tyres
(if equipped)
Compact spare tyres are designed
for emergency use only. Drive care-
fully on the compact spare tyre and
always follow the safety precautions.
NOTICE
Your vehicle has metric threads
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 a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for assistance.
CAUTION
To prevent compact spare tyre
failure and loss of control pos-
sibly resulting in an accident:
•Use the compact spare tyre
only in an emergency.
•NEVER operate your vehicle
over 50 mph (80 km/h).
•Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the
load carrying capacity shown
on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tyre.
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre continuously. Repair or
replace the original tyre as
soon as possible to avoid fail-
ure of the compact spare tyre.
WARNING

When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tyre pressure afterinstalling the compact spare tyre.
The compact spare tyre should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
• Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash whilst the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tyre on any other vehicle because this
tyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
• The compact spare tyre’s tread life is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn compact
spare tyres with the same size and
design, mounted on the same
wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer whilst the com- pact spare tyre is installed. When the original tyre and wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nut torque must be
set correctly. The correct lug nut
tightening torque is 11~13 kgf·m
(79~94 lbf·ft).NOTICE
To prevent damaging the com-
pact spare tyre and your vehi-
cle:
•Drive slowly enough for the
road conditions to avoid all
hazards, such as a potholes
or debris.
•Avoid driving over obstacles.
The compact spare tyre diam-
eter is smaller than the diame-
ter of a conventional tyre and
reduces the ground clearance
approximately 25 mm (1 inch).
•Do not use tyre chains on the
compact spare tyre. Because
of the smaller size, a tyre
chain will not fit properly.
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow
tyres, wheel covers or trim
rings be used with the com-
pact spare wheel.

What to do in an emergency
For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tyre Mobility Kit is a temporary
fix to the tyre and we recommend
that the system be inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tyre
puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tyre caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tyre. After you ensured that the tyre is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tyre (distance up to
120 miles (200 km)) at a max. speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) in order to reach
a service station or tyre dealer to
have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tyre
repair method and is to be used for
one tyre 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 Tyre Mobility Kit".
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE (WITH TYRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED) - TYPE A
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tyre
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tyre failure.
WARNING
Have your tyre repaired as soon
as possible. The tyre may loose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tyre Mobility
Kit.
WARNING
When two or more tyres are flat,
do not use the tyre mobility kit
because the supported one
sealant of Tyre Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tyre.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency- To increase the inflation pres-sure : Switch on the compres-
sor, position I. To check the cur-
rent inflation pressure setting,
briefly switch off the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres- sure: Press the button (8) 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
tyre reading, the compressor needs to
be turned off.
Information
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tyre and wheel on the vehi-
cle, tighten the wheel lug nut to 11~13
kgf·m (79~94 lbf·ft).

NOTICE
The tyre inflation pressure must
be at least 220 kPa (32 psi). If it
is not, do not continue driving.
Call for road side service or tow-
ing.
WARNING
If the inflation pressure is not
maintained, drive the vehicle a
second time, refer to Distributing
the sealant. Then repeat steps 1
to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffec-
tual for tyre damage larger than
approximately 4 mm (0.16 in).
We recommend that you contact
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer if
the tyre cannot be made road-
worthy with the Tyre Mobility Kit.
CAUTION
Tyre pressure sensor
(if equipped with TPMS)
The sealant on the tyre pres-
sure sensor and wheel should
be removed when you replace
the tyre with a new one and
