6-16
If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
1. The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale/
TPMS Malfunction Indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch
is placed to the ON position or
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.
Low tyre pressure
telltale
Low tyre pressure position and
tyre pressure telltale
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 indi-
cate 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 cannot reach a service station
or if the tyre cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre.
The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale will
remain on and the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may blink for one minute
and then remain illuminated (when
the vehicle is driven approximately
10 minutes at speed above 25 km/h
(15.5 mph)) until you have the low
pressure tyre repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure
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 an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the Low Tyre Pressure
Position Telltale will not be dis-
played even though the vehicle
has an under-inflated tyre.
NOTICE
6
In winter or cold weather, the
Low Tyre Pressure Telltale may
be illuminated if the tyre pres-
sure was adjusted to the recom-
mended tyre inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunc-
tioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a propor-
tional 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 greatly higher or lower, you
should check the tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to
the recommended tyre inflation
pressure.
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.
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 tyre be repaired by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble 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 illuminate
after blinking for one minute if the vehi-
cle is driven at speed above 25 km/h
(15.5 mph) for approximately 10 min-
utes.
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 an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
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 an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
CAUTION

6-19
What to do in an emergency
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) 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.
6
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road
debris.
If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually with light
force, and slowly move to a
safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may interfere with the
system's ability to warn the driv-
er of low tyre pressure condi-
tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.
WARNING

6-24
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 50km if tyres
are replaced. Re-check the tyre
wheel lug nuts after driving over
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 an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer 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 80 km/h (50 mph).
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 after
installing the compact spare tyre.
The compact spare tyre should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
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.

Type A
For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.
(1) Compressor
(2) Sealant bottle
The Tyre Mobility Kit is a temporary fix
to the tyre and the tyre should be
inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tyre
puncture.
The compressor and sealing com-
pound system effectively and comfort-
ably seals most punctures in a pas-
senger car tyre caused by nails or
similar objects and reinflates the tyre.
After you ensure that the tyre is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiously
on the tyre (distance up to 200 km
(120 miles)) at a max. speed of (80
km/h (50mph)) in order to reach a
service station or tyre dealer for the
tyre replacement.
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.

When two or more tyres are flat,
do not use the tyre mobility kit
because the supported one
sealant of Tyre Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tyre.
CAUTION
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tyre
walls. This can result in an acci-
dent due to tyre failure.
WARNING
Have your tyre repaired as soon
as possible. The tyre may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tyre Mobility
Kit.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
6
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. 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.
