What to do in an emergency
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure will come on. We recom-
mend that the flat tyre 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.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale will blink or remain
on until the low pressure tyre is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi-
nate after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tyre is rein-
flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or we
recommend that the TPMS sensor
mounted on the replaced spare
wheel be initiated by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer, the TPMS mal-
function indicator and the low tyre
pressure telltale will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, We rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
You may not be able to 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.
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.
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tyre pres-
sure sensor and wheel shall be
eleminated when you replace
the tyre with a new one.
CAUTION
If original mounted tyre is
replaced with the spare tyre, the
TPMS sensor on the replaced
spare wheel should be initiated
and we recommend that the
TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel be deactivated
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
If the TPMS sensor on the origi-
nal mounted wheel located in
the spare tyre carrier still acti-
vates, the tyre pressure moni-
toring system may not operate
properly. We recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
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 alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tyres or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
WARNING

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.

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.
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.
NOTICE
NOTICE
In winter or cold weather, the low
tyre pressure telltale may illumi-
nate if the tyre pressure was
adjusted to the recommended
tyre inflation pressure in warm
weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads
to a 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 higher or lower, you should
check the tyre inflation pressure
and adjust the tyres to the rec-
ommended tyre inflation pres-
sure.
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.

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

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.

Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of theroad so that you can work with the
Tyre 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 Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tyres. Only punctured areas locat-
ed within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the tyre
mobility kit. • Do not use on motorcycles, bicy-
cles or any other type of tyres.
• When the tyre and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.
• Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit may not be effective for tyre damage larger
than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).
If the tyre cannot be made road-
worthy with the Tyre Mobility Kit,
we recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit if a tyre is severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
• Do not remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws that have
penetrated the tyre.
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.
• Never leave the Tyre Mobility Kit unattended whilst 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 Tyre 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.
• In case of swallowing the sealant, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of
water. However, never give any-
thing to an unconscious person
and seek medical attention imme-
diately.
• Long time exposure to the sealant may cause damage to bodily tissue
such as kidney, etc.
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the
TMK.

5. Insert the sealant bottle into the housing of the compressor (4) so
that the bottle is upright.
6. Ensure that the compressor is switched off, position 0. 7. Plug the compressor power cord
(3) into the vehicle power outlet.
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord. 8. 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
Tyre and Wheels, chapter 8). The
inflation pressure of the tyre after
filling is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tyre and stay away from the tyre
when filling it.
