Safety system of your vehicleDuring a moderate to severe frontal
collision, sensors will detect the vehi-
cle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the con-
trol unit will inflate the front air bags,
at the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the
driver and front passenger by
responding to frontal impacts in
which seat belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When need-
ed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side
impact or rollover by supporting the
side upper body area.
• Air bags are activated (able toinflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
• Air bags inflate in the event of cer- tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate. Generally,
air bags are designed to inflate
based upon the severity of a colli-
sion and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen-
sors produce an electronic deploy-
ment/inflation signal. • Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
impacts during a collision. The
determining factors are not limited
to those mentioned above.
• The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an acci-
dent. It is much more likely that you
will simply see the deflated air
bags hanging out of their storage
compartments after the collision.
• In addition to inflating in serious side collisions, vehicles equipped
with a rollover sensor, side and/or
curtain air bags will inflate if the
sensing system detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, cur-
tain air bags will remain inflated
longer to help provide protection
from ejection, especially when
used in conjunction with the seat
belts. (if equipped with a rollover
sensor)
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
•The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
•The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
•The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
•The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer inspect the
SRS as soon as possible if any
of these conditions occur.

• Always hold the steering wheelfirmly when you are driving off-
road.
Emergency precautions
Tyres
Do not use tyre and wheel with dif-
ferent size and type from the one
originally installed on your vehicle. It
can affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which could
lead to steering failure or rollover
causing serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with the tyre and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity. If
you equip your vehicle with any
tyre/wheel combination not recom-
mended by HYUNDAI for off-road
driving, you should not use these
tyres for highway driving.
Towing
4WD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equip-
ment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" in chapter 6.
Dynamometer testing
A full-time 4WD vehicle must be test-
ed on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
OTLE055003
Do not grab the inside of the
steering wheel when you are
driving off-road. You may hurt
your arm by a sudden steering
bonnet or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with
objects on the ground. You
could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel which may lead to
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never start or run the engine
whilst a full-time 4WD vehicle is
raised on a jack. The vehicle can
slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or
those nearby.

When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and 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 light will
indicate which tyre is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding 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 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.
The spare tyre is not equipped with
a tyre pressure sensor.

What to do in an emergency
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
manoeuvres, 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".
Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the road 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 TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving run
flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the
TMK.

7. Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the
cable and connectors. 8. With the engine start/stop button
position on or ignition switch posi-
tion on, switch on the compressor
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. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. 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.
Tyre pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tyre pressure is
below 200kPa (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.

your vehicle or tyre repairer or in
accordance with local waste dispos-
al regulations.
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
Do not let the compressor run
for more than 10 minutes, other-
wise the device will overheat
