Expired sealant
Do not use the Tyre sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e.
pasted the expiration date on
the sealant container). This can
increase the risk of tyre failure.
WARNING
Sealant
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not swallow.

What to do in an emergency
Using the Tyre Mobility Kit
1. Shake the sealant bottle (2).2. Connect the filling hose (3) to the
sealant bottle (2) in the direction
of (A) and connect the sealant bot-
tle to the compressor (6) in the
direction of (B).
3. Ensure that the compressor is switched OFF. 4. Unscrew the valve cap from the
valve of the defective wheel and
screw the filling hose (3) of the
sealant bottle onto the valve.
Detach the speed restriction
label (1) from the sealant bottle
(2), and place it in a highly visi-
ble place inside the vehicle
such as on the steering wheel
to remind the driver not to drive
too fast.
CAUTION

Securely install the sealant fill-
ing hose to the valve. If not,
sealant may flow backward,
possibly clogging the filling
hose.

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.

What to do in an emergency
Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 4~6miles (7~10 km or about 10 min),
stop at a safety location. 2. Connect the filling hose (3) of the
compressor directly to the tyre
valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the recomended tyre inflation.
With the ignition swithched on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure : Switch on the compressor.
To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
- To reduce the inflation pres- sure: Press the button (9) 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.
i
NOTICE
OIGH067043
OOS067011
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.

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).
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.

The 4WD vehicle should never
be towed with the wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transaxle or the
4WD system.
CAUTION

6-42
What to do in an emergencyWhen towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Place the ignition switch or theEngine Start/Stop button in the
ACC position.
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
Removable towing hook
1. Open the tailgate, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
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 wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
CAUTION
OOS067022
OOS067021
Failure to place the shift lever in
N (Neutral) may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with
a rollover sensor,
- place the ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF or ACC position
- set the Engine Start/Stop but- ton in the OFF position
when the vehicle is being
towed.
The side impact and curtain air
bag may deploy if the sensor
detects the situation as a
rollover.

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.

What to do in an emergency
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
Place the ignition switch in the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal as you will have
reduced braking performance.
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 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
Before towing, check the dual clutch transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the dual
clutch transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
OOS067027
To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
Always pull straight ahead
when using the towing hooks.
Do not pull from the side or at
a vertical angle.
Do not use the towing hooks
to pull a vehicle out of mud,
sand or other conditions from
which the vehicle cannot be
driven out under its own
power.
Limit the vehicle speed to
10 mph (15 km/h) and drive
less than 1 mile (1.5 km) when
towing to avoid serious dam-
age to the dual clutch trans-
mission.
