What to do in an emergency
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 effi-
ciency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling 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 illu-
minated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tyre pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or
alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.

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

6-18
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. 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. We recommend that the
flat tire be repaired by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as pos-
sible 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
Telltale will remain on. Also, the
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will illu-
minate after blinking for one minute if
the vehicle is driven at speed above
15.5 mph (25 km/h) for approximate-
ly 10 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 a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
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 a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
You may not be able to identify a tyre
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
It is recommended that you do
not 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.

cautions:
Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
NEVER attempt to change a
tyre in the lane of traffic.
ALWAYS move the vehicle
completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from
traffic before trying to change
a tyre. If you cannot find a
level, firm place off the road,
call a towing service for assis-
tance.
Be sure to use the jack pro-
vided with the vehicle.

8. Insert the jack handle into the jackand 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
lug 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 coun-
terclockwise. 13. Use the wheel lug 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 a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer tighten the lug nuts to
their proper torque as soon as
possible. The wheel lug nut
should be tightened to 11~13
kgf.m (79~94 lbf.ft).

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, 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.
Check and tighten the tyre wheel lug
nuts after driving over 30 mile (50km)
if tyres are replaced. Re-check the
tyre wheel lug nuts after driving over
620 mile (1,000km).
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 60 psi (420 kPa).
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 com-
pact 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.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
Check the windscreen washer fluid level.
Check for low or under-inflated tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check the dual clutch transmission P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (i.e., every Spring and Autumn)
Check radiator, heater and air condi-
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
Check windscreen washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with a clean cloth damp-
ened with washer fluid.
Check headlamp alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the seat belts for wear and function.
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant/inverter coolant
level when the engine is hot.
This may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns and other
injuries.
