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
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.
7. Switch off the compressor.
8. Detach the hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tyre
valve.
Return the Tyre Mobility Kit to its
storage location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
9. Immediately drive approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or, about
10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tyre.
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).
Whilst 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.
NOTICE
OOS067039E
Tyre pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tyre pressure is
below 200 kPa (29 psi). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tyre failure.
CAUTION
Carbon monoxide
Do not leave your vehicle run-
ning in a poorly ventilated area
for extended periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation can occur.

Towing service
[A] : Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer 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.On 2WD vehicles, 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 sus-
pension 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.
i
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
inspect the tyre pressure sen-
sors at an authorised repairer.
CAUTION
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
towing.

2. Remove the hole cover pressingthe lower part of the cover on the
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.Emergency towing 
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a
commercial tow truck service. If a 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.

You should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle
and injury to yourself whenever per-
forming any maintenance or inspec-
tion procedures.
We recommend you have your vehi-
cle maintained and repaired by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer. A
HYUNDAI authorised repairer meets
HYUNDAI’s high service quality
standards and receives technical
support from HYUNDAI in order to
provide you with a high level of serv-
ice satisfaction.
Owner’s responsibility
Maintenance service and record reten-
tion are the owner’s responsibility.
You should retain documents that
show proper maintenance has been
performed on your vehicle in accor-
dance with the scheduled mainte-
nance service. You need this infor-
mation to establish your compliance
with the servicing and maintenance
requirements of your vehicle war-
ranties. Detailed warranty information is pro-
vided in your Warranty Booklet.
Repairs and adjustments required as
a result of improper maintenance or
a lack of required maintenance are
not covered.
Owner maintenance precau-
tions  
Inadequate, incomplete or insuffi-
cient servicing may result in opera-
tional problems with your vehicle that
could lead to vehicle damage, an
accident, or personal injury. This
chapter provides instructions only for
the maintenance items that are easy
to perform. Several procedures can
be done only by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer with special tools.
Your vehicle should not be modified
in any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance,
safety or durability of your vehicle
and may, in addition, violate condi-
tions of the limited warranties cover-
ing the vehicle.
.
Improper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details,
read the separate Warranty Booklet
provided with the vehicle. If you're
unsure about any servicing or
maintenance procedure, we rec-
ommend that the system be serv-
iced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer at the frequen-
cies indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labour, parts and lubricants used.
Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
ALWAYS follow these precau-
tions for performing mainte-
nance work:
Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neu-
tral (for manual transmission
vehicle) position, apply the
parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position of place
the Engine Start/Stop button
in the OFF position.
WARNING  Block the tyres (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
ellery that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.
 If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.
 Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning OFF the
diesel engine. The high-pressure
pump, high-pressure pipes, rail,
and injectors are still subject to
high pressure immediately after
stopping the diesel engine.
When the fuel leakage vents out,
it may cause serious body injury.
Any people, who are implanted
with the artificial cardiac pace-
maker, should remain away from
the ECU or the wiring harness by
at least 30 cm, whilst running the
diesel engine. The high currents
of the electronic engine control
system produce a considerable
amount of magnetic fields.
WARNING

Maintenance
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to ensure
that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Spark plugs
(for Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance 
(for Petrol Engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant  should  be  changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Manual transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.
